They build in ... By: reeltrouble. on 21 Jul 11, 10:24:31 They build in Triads, Supercenter or converted Supercenter and two Markets, they blanket populated areas even at? the cost of taking business away from one another.
There is a Walmart 10 minutes away, you can find a Walmart in any location without knowing where their located, it's really brillant marketing, but at the cost of the smaller retailers.
100 years ago every town had a General Store, hardline, food, clothes, etc. Walmart is the new General Store of the world. Low prices, low wages.
Walmart is a cancer ... By: historyboy08. on 11 Jun 11, 18:19:26 Walmart is a cancer this country and want to destroy the American Dream by taking out all competition. They move into small towns and suck them dry and? then move out. Walmart is parasite that must end for the sake of our country. They are ran by racist and only want to hire out to illegals.
How many did they ... By: cochranexyz. on 17 May 11, 20:17:35 How many did they build near their? existing store and then shut down/abandon the old location? That local governments can't stop that pisses me off.
Cancer..? By: talgoam. on 09 Dec 10, 21:10:17 Cancer..?
Nothing but a pile ... By: hopecharmer. on 17 Nov 10, 04:32:52 Nothing but a pile of trash with a price tag! Almost everything I buy there breaks within the first couple of days or couple of months. They barely pay their employees minimum wage and then throw them away like a peice of trash when they don't perform. They have cameras to protect their stuff but when something is stolen out from your car they don't stinking care. The prices aren't lower. Flimsy, lead filled, poisionous, preserva Let's give ourselves a Christmas present and not shop there! ?
Wal-Mart sells a ... By: 2cOthers. on 19 Oct 10, 05:59:01 Wal-Mart sells a high quality dog food & a high quality dog teeth cleaning treat that are made in America - That's about the only quality USA made pet products in Wal-Mart . Electronics & hard goods merchandise are made in Asia.
Wal-Mart's Midwest USA competitor Meijer does a much better job identifying country of origin for grocery products. I don't trust the grocery products at Wal-Mart.? The cashiers at Meijer seem to like their job. The happy Wal-Mart cashier is a rarity.

@JoshuaH688: " ... By: hossrex. on 07 Oct 10, 03:03:50 @JoshuaH688: "Employees with respect and humility don't get fired."
That's not true. You've obviously never worked for Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart is monkey work. Anyone can do it. A ten year veteran making $15 dollars per hour is only going to be MARGINALLY more valuable than any idiot with an hours worth of training.
So Wal-Mart will manufacture reasons to fire people making more than a couple? bucks more than minimum wage. It's impossible to prove you weren't a slow or lazy worker.
I used to think ... By: JoshuaH688. on 05 Oct 10, 11:10:58 I used to think like you do, but then I realized life is about minding your own business. Employees with respect and humility don't get fired. It is when you get bossy, or cocky, over-confident, or lax, that problems appear. The minute you think you're a "good employee", you stop being worth a dime. If Walmart strived to get rid of good employees, most management wouldn't have started off at the bottom, and the company? wouldn't have hordes of 10, 20, 30, and 40 year associates.
I have the luxury ... By: JoshuaH688. on 05 Oct 10, 11:01:14 I have the luxury of being both a FORMER Walmart employee AND a? CURRENT Walmart employee. When I got fired, I hated Walmart instead of facing my attitude problem, but I came back; and today I think Walmart is the best company in the world. If you want to succeed there, you must respect the individual. That means co-workers, customers, management, and the company at large. Disgruntled employees bitch and moan because that is easier than manning up to their sorry, pathetic attitude issues.

There is actually ... By: themredweirdoshow. on 07 Sep 10, 13:21:46 There is actually no "plague" to be seen in that map at all. Except for a very narrow strip along the ocean on the west coast, 90% of the stores are all redundantly concentrated strictly in the southeast. there is virtually nothing to be seen in the entire northeast, the midwest, the northwest or southwest. It is indeed a gigantic L-shaped? area of almost totally BLANK space, as if Walmart is avoiding it like... the plague!

Actually? poor ... By: slingshot2427. on 20 Aug 10, 18:23:21 Actually? poor people cant afford better products. Wal-Mart pisses me off in many aspects but it does raise the standard of living for many poor people who cant afford better products.
