It's Bad Enough We're Shopping At Wal-Mart, Now This
Some shoppers at the Muscatine, Iowa Wal-Mart last September were greeted by 65-year-old Dean Wooten and shown a photograph of the elderly man wearing nothing but a plastic Wal-Mart bag. Wooten quipped that the mega-store was "cutting back on expenses" and that the sack would be the new employee uniform. Several customers complained, and Wooten was reprimanded. The store later fired the greeter after he continued to show the picture to shoppers.
