For the record, I do work for Walmart and did at the time of the story.

My oldest niece goes to college just a couple of hours drive from my home.

0:07.5

Every so often I'd make the drive out on my day off to visit with her and make sure she had

everything she needed. Her mom covered the rent on her apartment. She walked most everywhere
