He wasn't really employed by Wal-Mart. The company wouldn't give that type of job to one of it's own, because it might be too much of an insurance risk.

Now that’s some dark, dark comedy for you.</i> Great. And it only took the sacrifice of a few innocent employees/shoppers to the gods in order to get that 3% When I last saw a headline for this story on CNN, it was directly above one that said “Black Friday sales up 3 percent”.
