I myself have yet to see one thing they do that justifys hating them.

good points to it, but "i" think there are obvious problems to walmart and it still should be justifiable to hate them.

There was that whole taking out life insurance policies on their old people workers thing. And then when they locked their stockers in overnight
i coulda sworn they did an anti walmart show a while ago. something to do with them being able to build on some endangered birds mating grounds... and at the same time not allowing some cripple lady build an annex on her house in the same area that would make her live easier.
i just remember them being the first company to ay all of the displaced people form katrina would have a guaranteed job at whatever walmart was closest to where they moved...after that i remember other companies following...but i remember at the time i thought that was a very cool thing to do...on top of all the money nd suppliesb they gave
I remember that, it was in the endangered species policy is ed up episode.
walmart is not pure evil.
but, I don't feel right shopping at waly world.
I still go to Wal-Mart occasionally, but every time I come out of there I'm struck by this unshakeable feeling of hatred for all mankind.
Politics of Wal-Mart aside, the customer service simply sucks, you can never get assitance if you need it and most of the stuff they sell is poorly made. You definitely get what you pay for.
Wal-Mart is trying to build a superstore in the middle of a neighborhood that isn't set up for the traffic. The city council went out of their way to cir vent normal procedure to ram the development through. I don't usually shop there even though it's usually the closest big box to me, and won't be going to the new one even though it will defnitely be the closest to me. I don't really know why; I guess I just don't find it a pleasant place to shop. Most of the stuff there is crap, and the stuff that isn't crap I can get in other stores.
Nobody has even gotten into how anti labor union they are, apparently they closed an entire store to keep their employees from unionizing.
And then there's the whole underpaying women thing.
You also have the this thing where Walmart sources a lot of products from China instead of the U.S...
Yeah, I agree there. I've bought some crap furniture from there when I was younger, but it beats having to eat off the floor in my first apartment.
As far as how big and bad Walmart is, I can't take most complaints too seriously. Not when you're talking about it at Starbucks wearing brand name clothing. I'm not saying Walmart's issues aren't serious, but don't complain if you are looking the other way for many other companies. Home Depot, McDonalds, AOL, and Best Buy are a few that come to mind from a couple of articles I've read over the years. I hate how people pick and choose their battles based on which way the wind is blowing. Sometimes the Walmart argument reminds me of reading stories of people fighting so hard for better civil rights for minorities decades ago while not even acknowledging the treatment of farmers and use of chemicals around human beings.
Then sometimes I don't even care. Which is the majority of the time really.
penn and teller discussed this in the episode. Strictly in spark notes terms: unions are businesses too. we should not just give them the benefit of the doubt just because its sugar coated with the word: union
As a regular Wal-Mart shopper, I really hope all of this Wal-Mart hatred catches on, because it is a PAIN IN THE ASS finding a place to park at the Super Wal-Mart on 87 and 410 on a Saturday afternoon...
Wal-Mart behaves like a large multinational corporation. Almost all of them are like that.
Shopping there is a disheartening experience much like standing at the DMV, wherein you realize that the majority of Americans are um... pretty dumb and not very clean.
And they reproduce a lot.
And they don't seem to realize that other people may need to get down the aisle that they've decided to stop and have their ing conversations in. If I had a penny for everytime I had the urge to take my cart full of cheap groceries/goods and ram the living out of a family of fat-ass re s who thinks the main aisle of the general merchandise section is a great place to discuss where they plan on spending the rest of their Lone Star Card dollares after they leave Wally-World, I wouldn't NEED to shop at ING WAL-MART!!!
[/aisle rage rant]
I think what I'm trying to say is: ING MOVE, IDIOTS!!!!!
That happens everywhere. It seems like it happens more at Wal-Mart than anywhere else, but I think it's just that I don't like being there so everything bad is probably magnified. I only go with my mom, cus she loves Wal-Mart. In fact as a joke last year I got her a bracelet with a charm on it that says "I heart Wal-Mart."
i signed that pe ion in Austin, Anderson Lane around burnet is bad enough as it is. that short light on shoal creek from mopac will be back up the access road for a mile. everyone in the neighborhoods around there is pissed about it. i don't see why they don't take the old home depot building on 183, or even the giant empty old hobby lobby building on 183 at lamar.

It is simple. Walmart sells food and most things for less and that is a good thing. Women should be payed less cuz they are worth less and are lazier workers usually.
tell me you're just trying to stir up right?
What, you don't like the facts? women must have kids or work. choose one, you cannot do both well, it is proven impossible. If they work, the children suffer greatly. Walmart hires alot of fat old and lazy es in there. That is why the lines are so long. They are lucky though cuz no one else would hire there ignorant assses. And quit sueing all the goddam time. Pregnant women need to stay home and work out instead of getting so fat and ugly.
you're a real piece of work. still bitter about mom kicking you off the teat at 6?
Personal attachs are made when you have no logic for your argument. Most women should be fixed or promise to Abort before being hired. Walmart now has self check out lines for speedier service.
so what's your excuse for attacking women in general? we already know you are not familiar with logic...
No . it's not like there's a dearth of vacant retail space around there. The Albertson's just recently closed there too. Then there's that plaza where the Dell Outlet used to be. Damn.
