....is food rotting on the shelves at Walmart:

Walmart grocery sections are gross, understocked and dirty, and the
company knows it. Steven Greenhouse and Hiroko Tabuchi report that a
recent "highly sensitive" "urgent agenda" memo:

... tells Walmart marketing managers to make sure that the
company’s 4,965 United States stores discount aging meat and baked goods
to maximize the chance that those items will sell before their
expiration dates. The memo — leaked for public use by a Walmart manager
unhappy about understaffing — also tells stores to be sure to “rotate�
dairy products and eggs, which means removing expired items and adding
new stock at the bottom and back of display cases.

In discussing produce, the memo tells managers to “validate that
stores are fully executing on ‘Would I Buy It?’ � — a plea to make sure
that every store removes moldy or rotting fruits and vegetables.

But the memo also warns managers to get all this extra work done without
exceeding the skimpy labor budgets that have done a lot to create the
problem to begin with. Seriously, "do a lot of extra work, without
paying people to do a lot of extra work." This is an established Walmart
policy:

“Labor hours have been cut so thin, that they don’t have the people
to do many activities,� said Burt P. Flickinger III, a retail
consultant. “The fact that they don’t do some of these things every day,
every shift, shows what a complete breakdown Walmart has in staffing and
training.�

In an investment analysts’ report last month, Wolfe Research said
“if its employees’ growth had kept up with square footage growth in the
U.S. over a number of years,� Walmart would have 200,000 more employees.
Walmart has 1.3 million American workers.

In other words, Walmart is demanding that its managers work magic ... or
commit wage theft by forcing hourly workers to work off the clock, or
push lower-level salaried managers who aren't eligible for overtime to
work longer hours. Meanwhile, customers face dirty and understocked
shelves and long lines. Walmart is notorious for how badly it treats its
workers, but it looks like it's now expanding that to a commitment to
treating customers badly as well.

Just because you are opposed to abortion doesn’t make you pro-life. Your
morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a
child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed, not a child
clothed, not a child able to see the doctor. That’s not pro-life…that’s
pro-birth.
