Confessions of A Walmart Hit Man

WELDON NICHOLSON: I worked for Wal-mart 17 years.

I come from a poor background in a rural area. I was the first one in my family that went to college -- I think it was amazing to them i got through high school if you want to know the truth!

I worked in the Supercenter division, specialty divisions, General Manager for Sam's Club. I was promoted and moved from O'Fallon, Illinois to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Cice little country town with just country people there.

I'm proud that I worked for Wal-Mart; I'm not proud of what I did for Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart should feel the same betrayal with somebody blowing the whistle on them as they are the hundreds of thousands of associates they have betrayed.

I watched so many people go without lunch in the lounges that I stopped eating in the lounges, I just had my managers eating there because I just couldn't stand it. They just wouldn't eat and we weren't allowed to offer them any money. There were people i'd see who didn't eat nothing; they'd take an hour lunch and just sit there.
