[edit] Dukes vs. Wal-Mart
Hi, I just noticed your edit: "a higher, salaried position" -> "a higher salaried position". You have a sharp eye, a valuable skill indeed. However, in this case, I think the comma was correct. It wasn't that she was working for free before, but that low-level Wal-Mart users aren't on a salary system; they get paid by the hour. A salary implies a fixed weekly or monthly wage and is only available when you rise up the corporate ladder. At least that is my understanding. -- Viajero 20:14, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
Yes, this makes sense - thanks for the correction. To me, the article read a little oddly, perhaps because here in the UK almost everyone has minimun hours (even short term staff) so "salary" tends to be used synonymously with "wage". WikianJim 20:32, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
