Response to Bruns letter posted Nov. 29:

To the editor:

Mr. Bruns, you are wrong. I do not know of anyone working at Wal-Mart who makes minimum wage, and most of Sysco's employees will come from out of town, not Lincoln. I heard they have had job fairs in other cities, but they have not had one in Lincoln.

As to your comment about insurance, Wal-Mart offers many different options to associates to choose from, and if we ever wind up paying more than is needed in a year, Wal-Mart gives it back to us by not taking it out of one of our checks. How many other companies do you know that will do that? Most would keep and put it toward the next year and not even tell their people about it.
