Feeling any sympathy for Wal-Mart? You'd better, because the ever-growing firestorm of protest launched against the mega-retailer for its employee health-care policy could be directed against the restaurant industry next. A new study done in Ohio, documenting which companies have the most workers receiving government benefits, pegs Wal-Mart as the worst offender. But look out. Six of the next seven spots on the list were held by restaurant chains-two of them full-service chains. State and local officials have already begun to demand answers on this issue. They're asking why cash-strapped governments should subsidize-or in some cases, double-subsidize-somebody else's business.
