Did you know when hired at Walmart, they also show you how to file for food stamps and federal assistanc?!? Gee, see any trend there? Walmart has driven almost every surrounding 'mom & pop' business out of business where ever they set up shop by using such scrupulous business tactics as these. It's American greed for cheap labor and products that has caused MILLIONS of illegal's to DESTROY our country and Walmart is just the tip of the iceberg. As someone who lives in a so-called 'border state' (Georgia) and has to deal with MILLIONS of illegal's roaming the streets on a daily bases I am sick of it. I am also sick of the mass stereo-type that they 'all just come here to work hard' when statistics show other wise. Same goes for the theory that expressing this makes me a racist-if anything it makes me a Nationalist think about it! When Bush allowed non-union truck drivers to start crossing the border with no real oversight. He set the wheels into over drive motion for problems such as these-pun intended. Obama is no better as he wants to give them all citizenship in time for a Cinco De Mayo photo op, lol. Gee I bet he's pissed this pesky flu pandemic is getting in the way of that much less the thought of having to enforce real border control. Just how exactly is Janet qualified for that job other than coming from one of the biggest housing states of the most violent illegal's-see a trend there people?!? We are in the middle of the worst recession in decades and this is his idea for 'real change'? Flooding the country with an uneducated and unvaccintated slave class is not the answer to America's problems. Real border enforcement and actually using ICE for the job it was intended for is our only hope. Wake up America, illegal's are the WORST TERRORISTS we will ever face on our own soil with the government and corporations help!!!

People in America need to realize jus what got America in this shape…”cheap” yes so-call cheap items from a foreign land. quote*Wal-Mart firmly believes in local procurement. We recognize that by purchasing quality products, we can generate more job opportunities, support local manufacturing and boost economic development. Over 95% of the merchandise in our stores in China is sourced locally. We have established partnerships with nearly 20,000 suppliers in China. *end quote! Now! if there be 182 country’s making items for the world to buy and they have only 5% of the pie in China…duh! This company makes the nice people of China support their currency(yuan) by keeping it in their country working for the people there…. but with the “yuan” going up in value and the US dollar going down…all the foreign items that the American consumer buys thinking it is cheap has went up in price. People…its all about the currency and to keep a currency strong you got to keep it floating around the country you live in so it can work for you. For the past 12 years all them US dollars are being shipped overseas to a foreign bank and with the American worker not making anything for the foreigner to buy the “we the people” have to turn to the “second” largest employer in America(Uncle Sam) to sell “we the people” debt in order to get all them dollars back! 50 years ago a foreigner would had given their left nut for a US dollar or a Hershey’s chocolate bar and today the same foreigner has got Uncle Sam and the American consumer by both all the while Hershey is moving the chocolate factory to Mexico. Wake up! America and think “MADE IN AMERICA.”

This isn't Wal-mart's fault - the story makes it sound like Wal-mart is hiring illegal aliens to deliver drugs. Having worked for a courier service that delivered drugs to pharmacies. I can tell you what likely happened. The drug supplier failed to get an order picked on time or forgot some medications for a deliver (happens almost on a daily basis). The Wal-mart pharmacist called the supplier and said, "Where are my drugs?" Supplier said, "On there way, " and called an outside courier service (which also happens all the time), Nevada Courier in this case, and asked them to make the deliveries. The blame in this story falls on Nevada Courier and the supplier, not Wal-mart. As for the safety of the drugs, for the most part medications are transported in sealed plastic totes. The medications inside the totes are each individually sealed. It would be extremely apparent if they had been tampered with.

Ship them all back.

It seems that some people, including the previous comment, do not have any idea of the mark-up for pharmacies, which is anywhere from 300% to more than 3,000%. This does not include the obscene mark-up that the pharmeucitcal firms add to their products prior to distribution. Pharmacies DO NOT sell at a loss.

Well...when you know it costs them $5 to $6 dollars in labor plus the cost of the drug and they are dispensing them at $4 - What do you expect?!! They truly look at their pharmacies as "loss leaders" in their company and are obviously just taking on the cheapest delivery contractors they can find to cut costs. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy about my safety if I were to fill my prescriptions with them!! :(
