From that article, Walmart tries to play it off like they only "suggest" their employees say Happy Holidays.
But I've worked at Walmart, and if you've ever worked at a place like that, you know that people who don't follow "suggestions" are quickly fired.
- maxerickson 6y agoThat's not Walmart being politically correct though, it's Walmart being a commercial enterprise that has 1 preference (higher revenues). They do other dumb things, like for a long time plenty of people wouldn't buy any music there, because they censored it. Here's the New York Times making a parallel argument to yours, 25 years ago: https://www.nytimes.com/1996/11/12/arts/wal-mart-s-cd-standards-are-changing-pop-music.html https://www.nytimes.com/1996/11/12/arts/wal-mart-s-cd-standa... Of course, in that situation it's somewhat likely that Christians comprise most of the group that Walmart is trying not to bother.
