Wal-Mart: the High Cost of Low Prices
Rumor has it the managment at my local Wal-Mart was threatening to fire people who attended the local screening of this movie. I don’t know if there’s any truth to the rumor, but since Wyoming is an “at will” state, I’m not sure how much an employee fired for going to a movie could do about it. But if it’s true, it demonstrates just how afraid Wal-Mart really is of this movie. The screening was completely full. I RSVPed and showed up on time, but still couldn’t get a seat.

There’s probably nothing a fired employee could do about it. If Wyoming is anything like Oregon, then an employer can fire anyone for any reason at all aside from those specifically listed in the discrimination laws (age, gender, race, and religion).
