LOOOOOOOOOOOOL so the lack of breaks and lunches was fine, but *GASP* unbalanced scheduling is a problem?

Although I generally think Wal-Mart is pretty reprehensible in a lot of ways, I have absolutely zero problem with this - what duty does Wal-Mart have to keep staff on a schedule that is wasteful?
Do you really think Wal-Mart will have trouble filling these positions if people can't work the 'optimized' hours?
This is nothing but intelligent business - I'm not sure predictable hours are 'deserved' by anyone.
