for me it's the principle.
 More than enough reason for me as well.

I believe age discrimination and discrimination of handicapped persons is mandated by Federal law and they are not allowed to discriminate. I also believe that the federal government provided a stipid to the store for every disabled employee they hire. Wal-Mart isn't doing it out of the goodness of their heart. They are legislated to do such.
Then how come we don't see this commonplace in all these other companies?
I am not an HR person, but I believe the laws say your can't discriminate against them due to age and such. But this isn't like affirmative action where you have to have a certain class of people on your staff and what not. They aren't forced to HIRE these people. All they have to do is put them through the interview process fair and square like every other candidate.
They can simply say the person wasn't qualified and not hire them. Walmart could very easily not hire these people if they didn't want to.
It seems to be pretty common place in large service companies...Stop & Shop, Target, McDonalds, k-Mart, Sears, Best Buy, etc...all hire older employees and handicapped employees.
