In the first respect, the attorney for the women messed up. He filed under the wrong part of the law. Not much more to say there. Only reading the summary in the link, I can't put forward an opinion on whether the women really could file a class action. Given that Wal-Mart puts employment decisions in the hands of local managers, I can see the argument. One manager doesn't hire/promote women for one reason, another does so for another. Without overarching policy, it is likely one decision would not "rule them all." |

But I don't want to fuck a Wal-Mart. That sounds kinda painful.

This is another step in eliminating the class action lawsuit as a tool to regress grievances against corporations. The article even says it could set precedent for other cases. Fuck them hard.

Sounds to me like the Court was going by the letter of the law. Perhaps the laws need to be changed. That however is not the job of the Court.

It's the worst kind of "shopping daze". Walmart does the same to me, to a lesser extent. Also, the whole "loonie in the cart" thing is annoying. I get why they do it, but its a pain in the ass when you only have bills on you. |

I am familiar with both loonies as Canadian colloquialism and carts as a shopping aide, but I have no clue what "loonie in the cart" means.

All the carts at Superstore are locked together. In order to get one out, you have to stick a loonie into a slot on the cart. You get the loonie back when you're done shopping, and stick the lock-thingie into another slot, which pushes it back out. It's to prevent people from stealing the carts/leaving them around the parking lot. Though they might be using toonies for it now. Not sure.
They were also one of the first mainstream stores to start charging for grocery bags (which isn't horrible, as reusable bags are pretty cheap and it = less waste).
Thus, the ever-so-subtle nickname, "Stupidstore".
