Real Katrina hero? Wal-Mart, study says - MSN Money

Interesting. A nice way to paint Wal-Mart in a positive light. This does more to make me a loyal shopper than any commercial touting low prices. I especially liked this section:

A Kenner, La., employee used a forklift to knock open a warehouse door to get water for a retirement home.

In Marrero, La., employees allowed police officers to use the store as a headquarters and a sleeping place, as many had lost their homes.

In Waveland, Miss., assistant manager Jessica Lewis ran a bulldozer through her store to collect basics that were not water-damaged, which she then piled in the parking lot and gave away to residents. She also broke into the store's locked pharmacy to supply critical drugs to a hospital.
