In another obvious flip-flop, Wal-Mart pulled a complete 180 and rescinded the policy in a WV store that said all employees had to be available from 7 a.m. - 11 p.m. every day or they'd be fired.

What's most interesting here is that Dan Fogelman, Wal-Mart spokesman, is claiming that this is just a mistake by the store manager. But Fogelman is completely contradicting himself.

He was quoted yesterday as saying:

"This is something that is done throughout Wal-Mart stores," Fogelman said. "The reality of retail is that our busiest times are evenings and weekends, so it only makes sense that we have higher staffing levels at those times."

and this was his quote in the article today:

"It is unfortunate that our store manager incorrectly communicated a message that was not only inaccurate but also disruptive to our associates at the store," Dan Fogleman tells the Gazette. "We do not have any policy that mandates termination."

This was clearly a move, similar to the Nazi-ad apology, that was done only after public outrage was voiced. The intention was to slip one by the American public, but once again, Wal-Mart heard your voice and was forced to respond by changing.
