By the way.... It isn't just walmart employees who qualify for aid....

They came, en masse, to the welfare department and embarrassed the decision makers into giving them a pay increase.

...and folks wonder why the crime is so bad in our county....
Some department stores sell on commission I think. My recollection is that Sears tool dept, appliance dept, sporting goods dept, etc. were staffed by adults that made a living in retail sales.

I don't shop much anymore but I doubt that newer stores like Target, Wal-Mart, uhhh, that's all I know, have professional sales staff like Sears did.
