Can someone say Obama's Depression ?
Many Wal-Mart customers use EBT cards. Some of Wal-Mart’s wailing on this point is to advocate for a raise in the amount of food stamp money that goes out. That money flows to Wally World in large part.
what kind of shoppers get their checks at the beginning of a month?...welfare or SS recipients.....not working people...
The story of America. Running out of money.
Yep, and the food price increases are significant on a percentage basis. I’d rather see folks with EBTs shopping at Walmart as opposed to the pricier grocery stores. It’s brutal out here. Had a conversation with someone today about how we hate shopping at Walmart and would much rather shop at Publix but just can’t afford to. You do what you gotta do.
This article is clearly alarmist. I heard Ben Bernacke say that inflation is well under control in his press conference today. And nobody in the media asked him hard questions about inflation, so I know that everything is okay.
With the falling value of the US Dollar... even with 99% of their crap coming from China and other 3rd World slave states, the margin keeps getting thinner...
As IF!
Note that gasoline gets the blame....
NOT:
Rising food prices...(With the bonus smaller portions!)
...rising paper products prices...(they get you coming and going!)...
...Yeah, the products on the wall over by the personal hygiene stuff, (the coming part)...
Actually, not too much in the whole store is cheaper, maybe because they have been burning gasoline in all the diesel rigs that bring the stuff.
Sure, gasoline is up, too, but the only falling prices around here (long before that) weren't hung on the sign right.
When you see Donald Trump in Wal-Mart, we’ll all be in trouble...
Why doesn’t Wal-Mart just open the doors and give everything away those evil bastards?

There are newly poor in America. It used to be nouveau riche. Thanks, Barack, you are destroying the middle class.

I cut back on Walmart when they began hiring employees who could speak Spanish but couldn’t speak English. That required two employees: one who couldn’t speak English and a translator. Whatever partnership Walmart made with non-English speakers was not publicized but I experienced it and I want Americans to be employed, not just anybody.
floriduh voter to HamiltonJay Target funds Planned Parenthood. Yes, I used to shop at Target too but not instead of Walmart. At least when Target puts things on clearance, they really mark things down.
floriduh voter to TSgt Barack Obama’s so out of touch that he it didn’t occur to him that even POOR PEOPLE DRIVE CARS. He was going to hand “the poor” the country on a silver platter. Not so much.

Citizens strapped by gas prices are splitting BOGOS at
grocery stores and are not buying much of anything else but the bare necessities around here. A friend of mine gave her friends Hess gift cards for Easter so they could fill up.
People are sharing, gifting w/gas cards and staying home instead of drivin' to the big box stores. People are going to the closest to home places in spite of smaller selections of goods instead of to the biggest store.
That’s the thing about the Free Trade Race To The Bottom. Sooner or later, you can’t import goods that are cheap enough to make up for the wages lost to dirt-cheap foreign labor. So it goes.
In my area no one in Walmart speaks English. When I shop there I feel like the foreigner.
Our local Mega WalMart has 3 or 4 registers open out of about 25. The customers are 6 to 10 deep. A company that brings in that much money can’t afford to hire a couple more people for $9 an hour? (or whatever they pay)
I’ve walked out of WalMart from being disgusted at the long lines a few times. That’s probably $50 worth of stuff bought elsewhere each time. I rarely go there anymore.
Even mega-low prices WalMart NOW feeling the pinch of gasoline prices.
I know that when I still worked full time a lot of companies were going to bi monthly or even once a month pay periods. I figured it was to save on bookkeeping and use less personnel in payroll. I personally for a long time got paid once a month not necessarily on the first or last of month tho.
What are these Walmart bastards complaining about. They’re a major reason why American manufacturing has been offshored to Red China and therefore why Americans don’t have any money. But what do they care? They’ll just open up more stores where the money is, in Red China.
Walmart is not exactly the model store anymore. They keep reducing what they carry, and now they don’t even keep that in stock.
