Walmart Asks Customers To Donate Food To Its Needy Employees

A Cleveland Walmart store is holding a food drive - for its own employees.

"Please donate food items so associates in need can enjoy Thanksgiving
dinner," reads a sign accompanied by several plastic bins.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer first reported on the food drive, which has
sparked outrage in the area.

"That Walmart would have the audacity to ask low-wage workers to donate
food to other low-wage workers - to me, it is a moral outrage," Norma
Mills, a customer at the store, told the Plain Dealer.

A company spokesman defended the food drive, telling the Plain Dealer
that it is evidence that employees care about each other.

Wal-Mart has been criticized for paying low wages to its 2.2 million
employees.

Last week, 50 people were arrested after protesting the retailer's pay
at a store in Los Angeles.

Wal-Mart turned a profit of $15.7 billion last year.
