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.

I woreked for walmart as a associate and I had nothing in my personal fire and was fired when I was told I was arguing with another employee. They said I called her a F AND B. I asked them if I was arguing with this person why would I compliment her? And they said you called her a F AND B that is not a compliment I said ask her manager, who was on in this meeting and he said that would be a compliment to her because she strives to be just that. I also had two witnesses that heard out conversation. The upper management would not let them talk on my behalf.

That policy is there but they do not have to follow it. No union or no other means to make sure this is done.

Later the girl I was supposed to have argued with best friend called me and told me that this girl was just at her house bragging on how her and two other mangers set me up to be fired.

I talked to an attorney and he said we could fight it but Walmart would win in the end and they would make sure it cost a lot more money than it was worth to fight and lose.

The girl I spoke of was a low level manager, department manager to be clear and her numbers in her department was the best of all of the stores in her area.
