I get it. I just think that the working conditions at Walmart are not quite the working conditions for manicurists that the NYT article described. Every single nail salon that they looked at fucked their workers out of money. Every one. Even Walmart isn't that evil.

That so many of the nail salon workers were illegal immigrants, and that our immigration laws are what they are, made it awfully difficult for any of the workers to complain about their treatment.
I've seen this sort of thing, when working at a legal clinic -- an illegal immigrant essentially has no protection. Which, in turn, means that legal residents are competing with people who are willing to be paid in snails and ass-rapings.
