I live in Mexico and I am unaware of ANY market or other business that provides services like this to it’s customers, nor does it pay those who voluntarily provide them.

Baggers, carrying baggage or bags, parking lot security/attendants, etc., are all voluntary workers who are there looking for tips. It is the same everywhere, with every kind of business.

If MSNBC wants to attack someone, and if this blogger wants to perpetuate the myth, then attack the entire labor structure in Mexico. Attack the practices of young people who are trying to earn a little personal spending money on their own…or who are providing badly needed income to their family.

This is a knee-jerk attack on Wal-Mart and is corrupt. To be so uneducated and brazen as to focus soley on Wal-Mart is a travesty and belies any pretence of objectivity.
