they cut their employees' hours to the bone. I have a work colleague whose daughter was working at one of their stores at least part if not full time, and they cut her hours to 10 hours a week. So all that bullshit about their high wages mean nothing because I doubt there are any FT employees other than a couple of managers and the people in their home office.

Since David Green has gotten at least one school district in central Oklahoma to offer his Bible curriculum next year, I wouldn't be surprised if he continues this reign of horror and tries to run for governor at some point. He could definitely buy his way in, his family's not hurting for cash....

One more thing--when merchandise scanners and codes first started being used, back in the day, Green made a HUGE ruckus about it, saying these were the sign of the devil. It was only a few years ago that the stores put in credit card machines for people to use; you had to give your card to the cashier to pay. And they still don't use bar codes--all of their merchandise is tagged, and they continue to do inventory by hand. But I will bet you dollars to birth control pills that he and his family have no trouble using those codes in other stores....
