Exporting our culture

German's are having a cow about the work policies required at German Wal-Marts:

The code forbids Wal-Mart employees from accepting presents from suppliers, dictates that employees may not fall in love with a colleague in a position of influence and requires workers to report colleagues immediately "if they observe that they have broken the rules." Non-compliance of the rules can lead to termination.

Apparently in Germany rules against kickbacks and sexual harassment are “voluntary”.
