Walmart vs. Safeway

I have an anecdote:

A nice older lady was checking me out at Wal-Mart. And by that I mean she was ringing up my purchases not as in she was scoping my goods. Near the end her lazy manager, draped over a cash register, spoke. "Doris" (or whatever her name was) "turn off your light for lunch.". Doris was delighted and promptly turned out her number light, indicating her lane was closed. She grumbled a bit about how late her lunch was coming. "Those great Wal-Mart labor practices..." I said. Doris chuckled, "Well its better than when i was worked at Safeway. They never gave me a lunch at all.".

I'm a firm believer that anecdotal evidence is the weakest kind, but it is amusing none the less. Perchance those boycotting Wal-Mart should instead not shop at Safeway.
