What in the world is going on at Wal-Mart? Two recent (unrelated) events involving Wal-mart employees.
In Fort Lauderlade, Florida:
"A Miami woman was found guilty Wednesday of poisoning her boss by putting rat poison into his soda can.
Femesha Foster, 37, was caught on a hidden camera dropping the toxic mix into Mark Caruso’s drink in 2000. The pair were co-workers at a
Wal-Mart store in Pembroke Pines. She said was only trying to force Caruso to go home sick, that she had recently discovered that he knew she had written checks from his account."
In Muscatine, Iowa:
"Dean L. Wooten found out the hard way that not everyone shares his sense of humor.
In September, the Wal-Mart customer greeter lost his job after he showed a little too much of his friendly side to customers. But the funny business didn’t hit the air waves and newspaper racks until this week and Wooten, 65, still doesn’t know why.
Somehow, news that Wooten lost his job for passing out computer-altered photos of his head on the body of man dressed in nothing more than a Wal-Mart sack generated a great deal of media interest this week. Wooten, who lives with his wife, Edyth, just outside Fruitland, said a friend created the photo on his computer and added a statement about the sack being Wal-Mart’s new uniform to save the company money. Wooten said he was amused and thought others would find it funny, so he made copies of the photo and statement and began handing them out to customers who came in the store."
