Exploit poor workers! How? its not a freakin sweat shop. Wal-mart pays a competitve wage and gives people benefits that otherwise wouldn't have it. Most likely these are the only jobs these people can get, and i am happy wal-mart is employing them.
Ive worked at local resturant, a pizza hut that was locally owned and I currently worked at walmart. I have gotten a 1.20 raise in a year and make $8.20, which beat both those places and i get treated better. my store atleast has a great management team and overall a great staff. Wal-Mart is a pretty decent company to work for with alot of potential to move up if you work hard and show ambition. only problem i have is i cant join a union.
OK, so I'm just looking for some friendly agreement. OK?
their company logo is modern art though
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

i truly hope you are able to better yourself.
not to sound too condesending, but people below the mason-dixon line should keep looking out for themselves.
please, for your kids, keep looking..................

they put local businesses out of business, which means the only jobs in towns become cheap, unskilled, low-wage shit jobs, as you'd encounter in Walmart.
WALMART SUCKS ASS! I think the last time I walked into a Walmart was in 2003...TARGET is the place I shop...I love their produce section and they have Einstein bagels there too

"What a sick, masochistic lion."
I don't think anyone here has ever worked at Walmart. I have. It's not that bad of a gig when I was in Highschool or College. It was pretty high paying at the time and the people working there were friendly. I had fun.
As to it being a burden to small towns? Whatever, there was a fight in my old small town about Walmart moving in. People were saying it would ruin the town and blah blah blah. All of it was BS. EVERYONE in town shopped at Walmart. People who were "out of business" had to either adapt or lower their already high prices. It made the town better because we actually got newer shops selling other goods. Plus we got cheaper goods as well at the Walmart.
I miss Wal-Mart! I used to shop there all the time! A dozen eggs for $.83 and a pound of butter for $1.73. I can't find that anywhere in my town. Wal-Mart is 45 min. away and I just can't justify the trip anymore as far as time and gas is concerned. Plus, ever since I started working at the hoity-toity organic restaurant, I've had to keep Wal-Mart private. They would probably fire me if they knew I shopped there. It's bad enough they took my artificial sweeteners and microwave away from me, I can't let them know about Wal-Mart!
True..yet I still shop there for discounts and bargains
Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts are also taking over the local coffee shops too.
We got three Starbucks(one alone, one in the mall, one in Barnes & Noble) and about 5 Dunkin Donuts...Seriously, do we need that much? :mad:
Ever been to Canada?? There are Tim Horton's everywhere!!!!
I like Walmart for the generic version of the swiffer cloths (for sweeping). They are much cheaper. They fit the swiffer device and I use them in my kitchen. In other rooms, I use them without the broom part for dusting. http://www.swiffer.com/swiffer/en_US/sweeper.do

I'm happy to pay a bit more (i.e. Target) to avoid Wal-Mart. What a clusterf**k that place is!

I'm not a big fan of shopping there - but that's more due to how crowded it is and the other customers rather than the store itself.
Outside of that, I think it's a great company that does a lot to employ people and lower costs. Their prescription plan is very good and they just expanded the $4 program today.
They've been opening these Wal-Mart neighborhood markets that are just groceries and I really like the one near work. Less crowded, nice new store, etc.
The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

i buy when the price is right and walmart has some great deals: cleaning supplies, toiletries, etc.
it can get a wee bit hostile in there sometimes...throw some bows and you'll keep your place in line.
thanks
