For those employees who are not fans of Justin Bieber or Celine Dion, Walmart has decided to stop playing their songs in their stores.
According to E! News, a shareholders meeting for the company was held in Fayetteville, Ark. A puppet named Willie made a joke about the fact that being an employee for the company was not good and made the claim that due to hearing Dion’s music on a loop, they “recently developed a serious eye-tic.”
Walmart reportedly will use a DJ for their stores and they are also allowing a more relaxed dress code for their employees. Beginning July 1, they will be able to sport black denim or khaki pants to work.
They will also raise the temperature for their stores since they are apparently too cold during the winter months and too hot for summer months.
Another change employees will see include the company’s old slogan, which was “Our people make the difference.”
New York Daily News reported that before the rally was held, they also made a promise to raise the hourly wage for new employees.
Reese Witherspoon also came to the rally in support of the store.
Judith McKenna, the COO of Walmart, told employees, “Taking care of our customers begins with taking care of you.”
