She has a top. It’s the bottom of her flannel jammies though.
I guess the store greeter didn’t want to tell her that she couldn’t come in the store like that.
Run away??
I’m frankly surprised that anyone understood what “Mumbles” was saying. Are you sure it wasn’t Star Market that he was dissing? After all, this is the man that had Varitek kicking the game winner in SB 36 and 38!
You mean people don't like getting overcharged when shopping and so they start going to Walmart?
Whoda thunk it.
Gee the last time I was in a Wal Mart I don’t recall seeing any employees chained to their work stations or being beaten by overseers. I also don’t recall seeing any Wal Mart press gangs rounding up customers with clubs and guns and forcing them to shop at Wal Mart. Perhaps Mayor Menino’s brie and Birkenstock crowd wouldn’t lower themselves to shop at anything less than a Galleria, but there are a lot of ordinary people who would welcome having a Wal Mart for both shopping and jobs.
No on illegals.
Most employees are Women, elderly White Citizens on SS and picking up some extra cash or just want to work a bit. Or they hire Blacks -- and get them off welfare (at least around me).
Don't know if they 'push globalism' but they do deal in a world market (Not everything is from China).
“Wal-Mart does not suit the clientele we have in the city of Boston,” Menino said. “I don’t need employers like that in our city.”
This butthead should give Mayor Daley a call. As fellow butthead Daley took the same stance 'for a while', then got his rear handed to him by Black Alderman whose people NEEDED and WANTED the Wal-Mart jobs.
So Daley finally told the unions to shut up, he gave in to the people of Chicago (how quaint), and some Wal-Marts were built in Chicago.
an aside:
The First Wal-Mart that the unions were able to stop in Chi finally went up right across the Chi border in Evergreen Park. It hired all Black Chicagoans, who used to be on welfare, and Chicago LOST millions in city sales taxes. Daley learned from that. The unions did not.
Would love to see anything old time or normal again out here.
Old-timey - yes; normal? Well, the stores are extremely crowded and native English speakers are probably a minority there.
The Chelsea location is less of a shock. It has ample parking and the facility is new with modern dimensions.
The Somerville location has limited parking and is extremely crowded most of the day (evidence of their attractive price point). You're sure to have a "Dorothy we ain't in Whole Foods anymore" moment there.
Why do I suspect that Wal-Mart isn’t thinking of building on Beacon Hill?
Or are you thinking there are no plain old ghetto or working class ‘hoods in Boston?
Save your rightous anger. I’ve been there plenty of times. I was just giving an opinion on building in historical areas in general. Sheesh.
I wonder how many “mom and pop” stores pay for health insurance for the ir employees, let alone have retirement pland. This idiot is just pandering to the union thugs in Boston. Build it just outside city limits where his citizens will then go and shop, paying sales tax not to the city but to another municipality or county.
So if one of the claims is WalMart creates jobs, it is fair game to point out that it also kills jobs in other areas. We at FR are open to all debate that is reasonable and not above admitting that not all benefits of Wally World are positive to the community.
Yes, we understand that cost savings can be a benefit to all consumers. This point has been debated over and over here on FR a hundred times of course. But I am not convinced that the net gain of jobs surpasses the net loss.
I call it the survival of the fittest.. Can’t compete oh well.
Mumbles is a moron.
Can’t imagine how you read anger, righteous or otherwise, into my post. Must be a reflection of some sort.
However, I would like to hear about any historic districts where WalMarts are to be found. I live in an historical town. There are chain stores, but they have to conform to the federal period ambiance of the town; the nearest, brand new, WalMart is several miles out of town, well away from the historic district. Neither the historic district here nor WalMart could accommodate each other.
The obvious answer is for the Baraqqi regime to get into the grocery business. Think of all the jobs they could create building a chain of inner city grocery stores.
They could be powered by wind turbines and solar panels.
And staffed by SEIU, AFSCME, and UAW members making $25/hour with Congressional level benefits.
Of course they could only sell Moosechelle approved foods in minimal portion sizes.
