There might be a little more to the story. I know someone that is the manager of a wal-mart and I've heard him say that it is very difficult to fire someone. Wal-Mart does a lot to protect themselves as far as letting employees go. They are given written and verbal warning before termination (unless they've done something drastic that requires immediate action). I recently had a situation in which I heard a cashier use bad language right in front of me, which I was somewhat offended by. I brought this to the attention of the person I know (it wasn't at his wal-mart but I wanted his advice) and he said that the person may be warned but that the store would have to have actual proof (other than my word) that the cashier said anything inappropiate.
