It isn't that way any more...everyone higher up is cracking down trying to squeeze every cent out of anyone who comes in the shop...even the people who're employed there.

And seriously, the lunch thing is why I don't work at Wal-Mart. The law is there to prevent them from not giving you a lunch, but if you voluntarily take a short lunch you get written up? Get real, that's just to cut your paycheck as deep as they can get it.
