        Ya - if they have been employees for 20 YEARS!! What a joke! Pandering to @realDonaldTrump and publicity. How about healthcare? A living wage? So states can stop subsidizing @Walmart bottom line #MinimumWage #TaxScam

        I’ll be impressed when they announce they’ll have more than 2 registers open at a time.

        Great. Can we get a follow up on how many got the bonus and perhaps how some people plan to spend it?

        Does that mean even less employees? Last time they bumped up one dollar night shift disappeared now shelves half empty most of the time.

        Tell me again that Trump’s tax plan will only benefit the wealthy! That line has already been destroyed over and over again.

        Nah. They'll cut employee's hours and the lines will be even longer. Seen it happen in other retailers.

        Yeah that's true. Wages going up is a PR move they'll protect those profits in other ways

        Annnnnnnnd then they announce the closing of several Sam's Clubs. Heck, the money for the one-time bonuses and barely-livable $11 an hour wages certainly can't come out of the execs/shareholders' pockets, after all.

        They make a lot of damn money. So they do the minimal. Can't live on 11 bucks An hour. But it's a start I guess.

        Their employees should grow a set and unionize.
