I boycotted them for coddling to illegal aliens, and haven't looked back. WalMart hates small business America, despite whatever "charity" they give out. That's just putting lipstick on the pig.
Capitalism sucks, doesn't it.
So why were there sales up 4.5 per cent in November? The facts don't seem to match up with the rhetoric.
sorry but if unions are against it, then its probably good for the consumer
Tens of Millions of people shop at Wal-Mart every week and delusional AP cited the discontent of one woman and some totally insignificant poll to preach the demise of Walmart.
No, but monopolies that are evolving definitely do! They choke it out.
This must be the same ole, same ole Walmart = Quagmire story.
Everytime a Wal Mart opens up, it becomes surrounded by strip malls FILLED with SMALL BUSINESSES! Wal Mart merely redefines the retail hub and ATTRACTS businesses.
yeah right, like millions of Americans are mad that walmart sells stuff cheap !
ROFL!
...
ROFL!
Tell me again why should I go and buy something that costs me twice in a small business store than what it costs me a Wal-Mart?
****ATTENTION ALL WALMART WHINERS****
*WALMART ALERT*..PINGING ALL WALMART WHINERS...ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping..
An intersting figure I saw one time.. more people go to wal-mart per week than go to church.
"WalMart hates small business America, despite whatever "charity" they give out. That's just putting lipstick on the pig."
That's funny, really. I've been in business for myself since 1974. I buy supplies for my business at WalMart. It saves me lots and lots of money. I buy other things at Sam's Club.
WalMart is a business. Its business model is to sell large quantities of merchandise at a good price. That model appears to work pretty well.
Yes, it's a bit hard on competitors, but the smart ones survive just fine. I don't notice that all the other stores in my area are closed. They all seem to be doing just fine. Some stores close, but they're generally run by stupid people who cannot find a niche to fit into. That's not Walmart's problem. Not at all.
People whine about Home Depot, too. Yet, about six blocks from my local Home Depot is an Ace hardware that has been there for years. They're doing just fine...by providing service to their customers. Home Depot doesn't do that. I haven't been in Home Depot for months. I just naturally stop at the Ace.
Who owns all these guns that are stuck in people's backs making them,one work at Wal-Mart and two, make them shop there?
The crazy left doesn't like Wal-Mart for a wide variety of reasons. Mainly they make money. They are also more cost efficient than any government agency ever created. For example on the gulf coast after the hurricane they were in business while the local state and federal governements were not. There is nothing liberals hate more than success.
Nancy McShane: One less fat, dumb, zombie blocking the Twinkie aisle at Wal-Mart.
The populist/socialist retards who whine about Wal Mart are the same folks who whined about Woolworth become a "monopoly" and Sears, and Kmart, etc...
One reason is because your child will soon be fluent in Spanglish,partially because she learned it from an anchor baby whose illegal mother is on the WalMart cleaning staff.
So let me get this straight. A bunch of knee-breaking, union thugs release "a poll" that says that Americans have an unfavorable opinion of Walmart and I'm supposed to believe that? Sorry. I don't do recreational drugs so, unlike the Ass. Press, I'm not buying it. Neither are the millions of Americans that everyday flood the Walmarts all over the world.
