Working For Snarl-Mart

Working for Snarl-Mart By Elton Camp Snarl-Mart’s lots to blame, I suppose When some local stores had to close The places run by Mom and Pop, Slow sales just made them stop Snarl-Mart can sell at prices retail For less than they pay wholesale Its great power to negotiate cost To the smaller merchant is lost “Just put us to the test Our prices always best Cost will you amaze Sell for Less, Always.” By such competition giving, Many have lost their living. Employees others had to fire Snarl-Mart might deign to hire Will perhaps give out another job To replace the one they did rob You have naught good to say About their measly rate of pay Little chance to have career Most are part-time, we fear Benefits along with your pay? Hah, we say, just what are they? With its great power to hire, It can just as quickly fire. If “associates” treated unfair Not a union is there to care. Will find to organize isn’t wise A location that does, quickly dies "We won’t be put through Union telling us what to do" To keep our prices so low Worker raises have to go If you don’t like our pay Can replace you in a day Not even a tiny bit do we care Stupid smock to make you wear “Can I serve you?” on the back In case a customer want to yack Better not be talking to your friend If we learn you do, your job will end Management has no tolerance at all On the clock, for a personal phone call Work while you are on the clock Or know that pay we will dock A second longer on your break Will be a very serious mistake No certain big box chain does this address Many workers find themselves in this mess Until the American economy turns around Snarl-Marts will be your stomping ground
