Who besides me does not like Wal-Mart??
Answer:
I hate wal-scum! I refuse to give them my money and or patronage. They sell junk at prices that are only slightly lower, if lower at all, than anywhere else. There plan from the begining was to lure people in with a super low price on a few items then sell them everything else at prices equal to competiotors. They are the largest retail chain in the world and use that to screw their suppliers out of money. example they approached Dryer's ice cream co. with the proposition of buying buying their ice cream at a cost that is actually less than it costs Dryer's to make it. Hence Dryer's is losing money on the deal. Wal-Mart then turns a huge profit by selling it at a price that is lower than their competitors. Dryer's has to charge more in all other locations to come out ahead and stay in business. this is screwing the public in the end. I know they are in the business to make money but they are forming a monoply. Monoplies are illegal and will be regulated by the government. but when you have as much clout and money as Wal-Mart you are above the government or they are in your pocket. If America doesn't wake up soon then we might all work for Wal-Mart someday? Not to mention Wal-Mart is synonomis with "trailer trash" why would you want to associate yourself with that? I'll pay the extra money and shop anywhere else!!!!.
Me, Me, Me, Me.
same, i just don't like it for some reason.
but it is freakin' cheap :D
Could u explain y it is exactly that u don't like Wal-mart?

I love wal-mart.sorry I'm going to have to say. NOT ME.
its a friiking STORE
what did the STORE ever do to u? slap u accross the face? lie to you? cheat you?
..
I don't like it because every Wal-Mart I've been in is filthy.
I like Walmart just fine. They are an American success story.
If you don't like them, don't shop or work there.
Me and unfortunately they drove prices down when they first came to town and put all the mom and pop shops out of business. Now they're the only store left, they've jacked up the prices and they never have enough cashiers.
I AGREE WITH IT BEING THE ANTICHRIST!!
Let me guess, Bush owns Wal-Mart. When will you anti-capitalist commie liberals give it a rest. Because an American owned business that offers good prices succeeds, you hate them. I truly feel sorry for you because you are an idiot.
i'm very opposed to wal-mart because they are a evil copiration that isn't fair to their employees
oh yeah, i mean who wants to buy food, clothes and electronics at discount prices everyday. Oh no a world without name brands, i dont think so. I mean come on. And on top of that employing all kinds of people. Espescially in texas, I mean it gives alot of hispanics the chance to have a stable job, health insurance and a retirement plan. Oh my, i think that this is an awful idea. the next time any one decides to make a comment or ask a question, think about what you are trying to say.
Cheapens everyone, not only Ms. Jesse.
I stay away.
I shop at J.C. Penney's a lot, and for food items, I use either Shop Rite or Pathmark.
These companies still have an aire of civility about them.
ME!!

Wal-Mart is a joke. They record mega profits each year yet can't see fit to pay their employees decent wages. Employees are scheduled for less than a full-time work week to avoid paying benefits. What benefits Wal-Mart offers to its employees are a joke. Employees are encouraged to apply for welfare and Medicaid. Employees' first checks are withheld to insure against any potential losses regarding uniform theft and the like (like anyone would WANT that ugly, blue vest!). They bully their suppliers to provide them (Wal-Mart) goods for resale at the lowest possible cost to the supplier thus minimizing or even ereasing any potential profit for the supplier.
I could go on and on and on and on....
Please read the books.
One time this night worker lady bitched at me for walking in that taped off part of the floor in the middle of the night...but I had to get to the beer.
How could you not like wall-mart! it is the bamb. If you don't like it your just stupid
I shop at Wal-Mart. So sorry but I'm not with ya on this one.
i don't like how they treat the companies they work with, don't like how they treat the employees, like the fact that they have huge stores, don't like some of the nasty people who shop there
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! The only good thing about Wal-Mart is they ..hmmm i tried and tried i couldn't think of one good thing about Wal-Mart.
As far as being "evil" and "driving mom and pop stores out of business" why is it always Wal*Mart? Why not Target? K-mart? Cub foods? They're all doing the same thing but no one seems to care.
I think it's because someone somewhere decided that this one particular company was evil (or did something to THEM that they wanted to get even for) and people are too stupid to do the research for themselves.
Most people will hear a story on the news and believe it because to believe it makes them feel good.. to boycott Wal*Mart because somebody told them to makes them feel like they're actually doing something.
If you think the small stores are best, then shop there. Me, I LOVE Wal*Mart (and Target). I shop there for the big things that I wouldn't buy at a little store anyway. The smaller stores are for the more specialized items.
Free enterprise -- that's what they mean by the American dream!
One thing I noticed in there was the Subway sandwich place was too close to the entry doors, and idiots hang out there so when you walk in you get this creeped out feeling.
and the lines are way too long, the cashiers get slower as the lines get longer. Believe this: two people SHUT DOWN their registers while there must have been 30 -35 people trying to buy things. I only had 6 items and spent more time trying to pay then to collect them.
While their products are just as cheap as you'd expect, the people working there seem to be in a daze. Not a helpful, friendly place to spend my money. I wonder if the hired help know that it is the customer that pays their salary?
I don't like them either, the only way the workers will get paid more is to join a union. But just go to any Walmart and tell them you are from the union and they will throw you out of their store.
They don't want their employees to have better pay and benefits.
Wal-Mart used to be find in my book untill they remodeled our store.now we have 1/2 the room in all isles and 1/2 the selection! Where in the hell did everything go?
And why is it that there is always 5 or 6 express lanes open and 2 normal lines; and have you tried the self-check out lanes. What a nightmare."Please put your item back in the bag", "please remove last item", "Item not on file, please see attendant", "Please show attendent your valid ID" (then they gut some little kid workin it and they have to get another person to validate the beer!
OH MY GOD... what ever happend to the good ole days?
I don't like Wal-Mart, they take away from the Mom & Pop shops, they are trying to corner the Organic Farmers Market, they bring in crap from other countries which 96% of the stuff is made in sweatshops by child laborers. They advertise low prices, but an upgrade is at a higher price that you can find cheaper elsewhere. Starting today, I'm on a mission: if it is not made here in this country, USA, I don't buy it. I have all the stuff I need that has been made in other countries, at the expense of American jobs. For example: Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN
JAPAN) for 6am. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he
shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG).
He put on a dress shirt(MADE IN SRI LANKA),designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA).
After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he got in his car
(MADE IN GERMANY) filled it with GAS from Saudi Arabia and continued
his search for a good paying "AMERICAN JOB".
At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his Computer (Made In Malaysia), Joe decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals
(MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered
why he can't find a good paying job in.. AMERICA...
