Wal-Mart: What PR Won't Fix

Chungst and valueguy123 -
C'mon guys... Wal-Mart was adamant on their position regarding the repayment of the money from the start. They only caved in when they realized that this had become an enormous PR minefield. The regrettable thing here is that Wal-Mart wasn't the real evil here, but rather the idiot attorney who didn't bother to check the insurance policy, allowed a settlement on only $1 Million and took over half of it. Unfortunately Wal-Mart took the hit because it's reputation preceeded it. Life's unfair, karma's a b**** and so on.

As far as the charity goes... chutzpa anyone? I wonder what percentage of their employees (who'd life full-time hours but Wal-Mart's 'keeping costs down') rely on the charities that Wal-Mart contributes to? It's a PR shell game and people are starting to realize that there is nothing under any of the cups.
