I assume you’ll show this level of compassion the next time a kid does something hateful and stupid, right?

that sounds delicious. also, i admire your commitment to minty-goodness. 

I’m usually real snarky and kind of a dick on GMG websites but this story (especially the reported out version on NPR) makes me really, really sad. I expect this level of frigid capitalism from Wal Mart but it doesn’t change that so many of these greeters felt good about being able to work and now will be out of a…
