In case you need another reason to boycott Wal Mart....

5. From the article...

"Paying for the delivery people's gas but not time—a novelist couldn't write a better next move for Walmart. There will be significant regulatory and legal challenges to the idea if Walmart moves forward with it, of course. Because even setting aside the free labor issue, the plan would entail handing people consumer goods and a stranger's address. What do you think is more likely?
A) Delivery people paid in gas discounts at Walmart deciding to just go home with the things they're supposed to deliver.

B) A gun owner forgetting he had a delivery coming and deciding to stand his ground and defend his castle when a stranger comes knocking.

C) An actual thief doing deliveries as a way to case potential houses to rob.

D) Rape.

E) All of the above and then some.

The government needs to put a stop to this before it starts. But the crazy thing is, it's not at all hard to imagine a room full of Walmart executives just trying to decide whether they'll save enough by not paying delivery people to have all the theft be worth it."
