i hate walmart.

To be fair..Target just launched their CEO and many others recently too. .com business is re-inventing how people shop.

Dicks' executives had no problem giving themselves a 15 percent raise between 2012 and 2013:

Retail is brutal unless you're an exec. Then it's , regardless of whether the company does well or poorly.

I wonder at what point retail execs will realize that if the middle class doesn't have disposable income, they won't have a market for their products.

Oh, who am I kidding. They don't give a flying f*ck. They have a golden parachute for when they screw up their 3 years as head of a company, so it's not their problem.

Seriously, if business wanted to do one thing intelligently, they'd abolish golden parachutes. No one should get paid millions to go away.
