Another Walmart thread

Shopping for Politicians (http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/News/WalMartShoppingForLawmakers.aspx?GT1=8698) This really pisses me off. Sometimes I really hate how our government works.

sympathy post:twfrox: it's called an agenda, everybody and everything that has money that can be affected by which political figure is in office has one.

i LOVE walmart!!

i LOVE walmart!! :nonod: I hate it.

:nonod: I hate it. :iagree: Walk into any Walmart, take look at type of low life customer Walmart attracts :crazy:

I know this thing happens all the time with other companies and they arnt the first to do it. I just hate things they do like when a town passes a law to not allow supercenters so Walmart takes them to court and drags it out till they have no more money to fight it and give up. If you arnt wanted there then DONT BUILD A STORE THERE! I know someone who is a district manager at walmart and he has told me some really crazy stuff about the policies the corporate office has and things that were obviously immoral he has had to do because he was under pressure from higher ups and his job was on the line.

He who has the gold...makes the rules

I'm worried about getting jumped at any Walmart around here.

:iagree: Walk into any Walmart, take look at type of low life customer Walmart attracts :crazy: i shop at walmart and I AM NOT A LOWLIFE! we can't all be rich like you, some of us hafta shop where the bargains are.

what's up with all the car jacking at wal*mart? crime rate has jumped since the new wal*mart opened up here in Clermont FL. there was also this guy that hides underneath cars and licks women's feet in the parking lot... -a|ex

i shop at walmart and I AM NOT A LOWLIFE! we can't all be rich like you, some of us hafta shop where the bargains are. i'm a poor college student....wal mart is to expensive for me, :lol: so it's Big Lots and Kroger for me (with that nice discount card)

Its all about the money. If you need something. You spread the money around to those that can help you accomplish the goals at hand.

Yeah they say they don't want them... then everyone shops there... People like the idea of not having a supercenter, but once it's there they all start using it... :2cents: what's up with all the car jacking at wal*mart? crime rate has jumped since the new wal*mart opened up here in Clermont FL. there was also this guy that hides underneath cars and licks women's feet in the parking lot... -a|ex That's a good idea...:leaving:

wally world is the devil.... but i shop there sometimes so i agree with OSP no one wants it until it is there..

wally world is the devil.... but i shop there sometimes so i agree with OSP no one wants it until it is there.. That's the thing... People try to teach Wal*Mart this 'lesson' by passing legislation banning them only to lose their collective a$$e$, then they start shopping there!!! If they really wanted to stick it to the man, they would allow Wal*Mart to build, then boycott...

I dont like shopping at Walmart because, not only do the shoppers look like trailer trash, the people that work there look like trailer trash. I have no ill feeling for poor people, but come on, brush your teeth, comb your hair, take a bath, use deodorant, and wash your clothes! Have some self respect.

Its obvious that lower income peps work at my local store but they are clean.

Its obvious that lower income peps work at my local store but they are clean. I look at it this way, if they gave up 2 cartons of smokes a month, they would have more than enough dough to properly groom themselves.

i shop at walmart and I AM NOT A LOWLIFE! we can't all be rich like you, some of us hafta shop where the bargains are. You may not be lowlife, but you enjoy shopping with lowlifes:crazy: Bet you also enjoy that happy face Walmart employee greets you with :lol: Most Walmart employee's hate working at Walmart ;) I will gladly pay few cents more to shop without lowlifes:cheers: Side note, Walmart has lowest average income shopper of any chain store. Walmart making politicle payouts for its own best interest. Walmart instead of paying decent benefits and wage, counsel's employees how to have tax payer pay these benefits, with food stamps and public medical.

Walmart making politicle payouts for its own best interest. Walmart instead of paying decent benefits and wage, counsel's employees how to have tax payer pay these benefits, with food stamps and public medical. Of course they have the lowest income shopper. That's their whole marketing strategy. Convince everyone they have the lowest prices and the budget shoppers will come. If you not in the low income bracket. Chances are your not worried about budget when it comes to items sold at wal-mart.

If you not in the low income bracket. Chances are your not worried about budget when it comes to items sold at wal-mart. Also counter productive for poor to shop at Walmart. How do poor expect decent paying jobs, by supporting company that pays low wages, little benefits along with most of products being made in China:idk: Those few cents you save at Walmart, add up to large bucks you loose in long run.:dthumb:

I don't do them any favors when hauling their crap to their distribution centers.

You may not be lowlife, but you enjoy shopping with lowlifes:crazy: not true either. i enjoy shopping where i get the most for my $$. you are rather judgemental, aren't you? what you see when you walk into a walmart are real working class american people just trying to stretch their dollar. if you don't like walmart, don't patronize them...but don't judge those of us that do. i am not trailer trash, i am not on welfare, i don't smoke, i have all my teeth and i live in a modest single family home. i am a stay at home mom of two kids just trying to make ends meet. thank god for walmart. they keep my kids in school clothes for cheap. condemn walmart all you want...but not those that shop there. we are but victims of the economy.

You itgirl are one of the few that shop their that have any self dignity though. I commend you for trying to save your family some dough. :dthumb: well, saving $$ is the name of the game right now. once i get through the nursing program and get back into a good job, then i can be a bit more selective about where i shop and what i buy. sometimes we gotta pinch our pennies so much that abe lincoln takes a poop. walmart has good values, and right now that's what we're in the market for. don't get me wrong...we are not poor or anything. just trying to maintain a comfortable living. i embrace anything that helps make that a reality for us.

we are but victims of the economy. We minus jetski (he lives outside the economy) :wink:

We minus jetski (he lives outside the economy) :wink: Nice rep blocks!!! Not everyone who shops at Walmart is trailer trash, But everyone who is trailer trash, shops at Walmart.

Nice rep blocks!!! Not everyone who shops at Walmart is trailer trash, But everyone who is trailer trash, shops at Walmart. that's something i can agree with. :dthumb:

don't get me wrong...we are not poor or anything. just trying to maintain a comfortable living. I bet that $1 or $2 savings from shopping at Walmart is going to make or break you. Your support of shopping at Walmart keeping millions of Americans poor. Good thing majority of Americans aren't like you. America would not be here if everybody had same mentality of only thinking about themselves:dthumb:

I bet that $1 or $2 savings from shopping at Walmart is going to make or break you. Are you for real? It's more than a $1 or $2. We, as a rule, buy all of our household goods (cleaning products, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, deoderant, toothpaste, some hardware/minor household items, etc.....) there. Their prices are SIGNIFICANTLY lower than the grocery store or drug store. (We buy food items/produce at Publix). Not to mention have you looked at their prices on motorcycle oil filters and oil? About $3/quart savings on the oil, and $5/per filter over dealerships and Cycle Gear. So let's see... when you add that up, x2 people (and x2 bikes) that's a substantial savings over the course of a year. Now we're not poor, nor are we starving (hey, we're fortunate enough to live in a nice house with a pool, and have not one but two 'toys' -- the bikes!), but I don't see anything wrong with being an educated consumer, and being conscious of the prices we pay for staple items for our household.

tell ya what...you give me $$ and i'll shop wherever you like. :dthumb: no, you say? well, i guess it's every person for themselves then. Ya see though, even if I had unlimited funds, that doesn't mean I have to be irresponsible with them, and spend more than necessary on basic goods. :idk: (granted, I think we're furtunate in that we have a Wally World near us that ISN'T totally white trash, and the people there do brush their teeth and hair for the most part :lol: )

I knew that dude was in for it when he made the 1 or 2 dollar comment. :lol: :lol: Yeah, that was pretty much the nail in his coffin.

well, i guess it's every person for themselves then. Its a shame American's are thinking that way these days. America heading fast to third world status, thanks to people only looking after themselves.

I knew that dude was in for it when he made the 1 or 2 dollar comment. :lol: ya, but that's typical jetski though. i expected that kinda reaction from him.

Its a shame American's are thinking that way these days. America heading fast to third world status, thanks to people only looking after themselves. it's a shame we hafta think that way. :nonod: nobody wants to help others anymore. it's just the decline in civilization.

Other stores give you same savings over Walmart:dthumb: Like dealership or Cycle gear are good examples for prices :lol:

Other stores give you same savings over Walmart:dthumb: Like dealership or Cycle gear are good examples for prices :lol: Well please, almighty educated consumer, if there are convenient places that consistently give savings on the items mentioned, over the pricing at Wal-mart, then by all means, SHARE them with us so that we, too, can shop there. As Wal-mart over Cycle Gear or dealerships, well let's see.... what else IS there? :lol: You're quite full of problems, but not real good with offering solutions!

it's a shame we hafta think that way. :nonod: nobody wants to help others anymore. it's just the decline in civilization. :iagree: Still places around that have people looking after each other:dthumb: My second home on San Juan island Wa will not let Walmart open on island. Guess what everybody happy to shop at Mom and Pop stores. No crime, very little unemployment everybody friendly to each other:dthumb: Just like rest of America used to be 20 years ago.

Guess what everybody happy to shop at Mom and Pop stores. No crime, very little unemployment everybody friendly to each other:dthumb: Just like rest of America used to be 20 years ago. That is not the same. I have been to Friday Harbor and Rouch Harbor. Not your typical little towns. No way Walmart would EVER survive there. Those are tourist areas.

Buy my oil at Kragen for .59 cents QT. Can get Mobil 1 at Costco cheaper than Walmart. Large stores such as Safeway, Target have sales that beat Walmart to just name a few.

ya, but that's typical jetski though. i expected that kinda reaction from him. Ahhh, I'm not familiar enough with him to know that..... good to know. :dthumb:

And that's wonderful, and if I lived in a small community like that, I'd probably be fine shopping at mom & pop shops, too. Fact is, I don't, and mom & pop shops, for the most part, don't exist. But to make the suggestion that Wal-mart is the root of all evil, and the cause of crime, etc.... is a WEE BIT of a leap. :dthumb:

Buy my oil at Kragen for .59 cents QT. Can get Mobil 1 at Costco cheaper than Walmart. Large stores such as Safeway, Target have sales that beat Walmart to just name a few. 1.) Any $0.59 oil isn't coming anywhere near my JEEP, let alone my bike. :lol: 2.) Costco is the same damned thing as Sam's Club, which, gee, is just a big giant Wal-mart. So you just blew your WHOLE argument out of the water there. 3.) Publix is our major food chain here, and no, their prices on household goods are not better. Target - ah, they're COMPARABLE on some things, but higher on others (I do shop at Target as well for the household items, so I HAVE done my research to know this for a fact). But again, funny to me that you'll shop at Target, but not Wal-mart... they're pretty much the same thing, just that Target's nicer. :dthumb:

You itgirl are one of the few that shop their that have any self dignity though. I commend you for trying to save your family some dough. :dthumb: I shop at wal*mart too... It p*sses me off to find the same items I bought at the mall for 20% less at wal*mart. -a|ex

Also look at all the jobs Walmart forces to China. What do you think happens to people who's jobs are now in Chian????

Costco happens to be Union gives all employee's good pay with health insurance and stock purchase plans. Its no Sam's club. Try again:dthumb:

Target is the new K-Mart or Big K

Try raising family on Walmart pay without medical insurance, you may become evil. Also look at all the jobs Walmart forces to China. What do you think happens to people who's jobs are now in Chian???? Ok, now you're opening up a whole other can of worms... Alright NOT to criticize anyone who works at Wal-mart, as I'm happy for ANYONE to have a job of ANY kind over taking public assistance (or at least in addition to public assistance, if it's still needed).....BUT.... There are decisions we all make throghout our lives, to get an education, to better ourselves, so that we don't HAVE to take that job at Wal-mart, so that we CAN afford to have health insurance for our families. I made those decisions, as did you, I'd assume.

You must not use Chevron, Quaker state or Valveline oil. Costco happens to be Union gives all employee's good pay with health insurance and stock purchase plans. Its no Sam's club. Try again:dthumb: I have to agree with you on that one. Costco is great.

You must not use Chevron, Quaker state or Valveline oil. Costco happens to be Union gives all employee's good pay with health insurance and stock purchase plans. Its no Sam's club. Try again:dthumb: Well if you'd pick one argument and stick with it, maybe I'd continue to play along... but you keep changing your position (I mean what is it you TRULY don't like about Wal-mart... first it's that only lowlife's shop there, then it's that it's some huge mass market place, and not a mom-n-pop-shop, then it's that their employees can't afford insurance).... Ok, we get it, you don't like it... so don't shop there! :lol: No skin of my nose, and CERTAINLY none of Sam Walton's. But until you can form a (as in ONE) solid argument and stick with it for more than one post, I have no time for you. :dthumb:

I have to agree with you on that one. Costco is great. :idk: I just don't frequent any of the giant warehouse stores... never found enough stuff we needed in bulk to justify it.

:idk: I just don't frequent any of the giant warehouse stores... never found enough stuff we needed in bulk to justify it. He is right about it being union and them paying well and offer a great medical plan.

:idk: I just don't frequent any of the giant warehouse stores... never found enough stuff we needed in bulk to justify it. Same here!

Walmart instead of paying decent benefits and wage, counsel's employees how to have tax payer pay these benefits, with food stamps and public medical. That's right... poor people are all scum... Since they don't have money and some don't bathe as frequently as we would like them to, then are substandard human beings... And as far as not liking where you work... :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: Cry me a river... You don't like where you work, go find another job. You get paid minimum wage because you have no skills and you hate working at Wal*Mart... Guess what, McDonalds is always hiring... they will hire you... Then you can cry about how you hate that job... Welcome to the party pal, work f*cking sucks...:cry: Yeah and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to milk the system to get the tax payers to pay your way... not true either. i enjoy shopping where i get the most for my $$. you are rather judgemental, aren't you? what you see when you walk into a walmart are real working class american people just trying to stretch their dollar. if you don't like walmart, don't patronize them...but don't judge those of us that do. i am not trailer trash, i am not on welfare, i don't smoke, i have all my teeth and i live in a modest single family home. i am a stay at home mom of two kids just trying to make ends meet. thank god for walmart. they keep my kids in school clothes for cheap. condemn walmart all you want...but not those that shop there. we are but victims of the economy. :clap: I bet that $1 or $2 savings from shopping at Walmart is going to make or break you.

It's only fitting that a guy with more than one house is blasting people who shop at a place that offers lower prices... Nice. Further, find me a high crime area with a population under 10,000 and I will sell you the Brooklyn Bridge... And BTW, current national unemployment rate is extremely low... are some places lower than others, of course... The overall picture remains a FANTASTIC ~4.75%.

Try again:dthumb: I think unions are outdated for the most part... You don't like your job, go find another... you don't think the employer is treating you fairly, leave... go elsewhere... People have options these days... It's not go to the local factory and work there for the rest of your life like it used to be... We are no longer living in an economy that is locally based or even national... we have to compete on a global scale... You don't like it? Move to the moon...

:clap: good response OSP! :thx1:

And BTW, current national unemployment rate is extremely low... are some places lower than others, of course... The overall picture remains a FANTASTIC ~4.75%. We have of 7% unemployment here in MI and people still dont want to work at WallMart. Go Figure.:idk: Of course I think most people in MI are lazy azzez.

We have of 7% unemployment here in MI and people still dont want to work at WallMart. Go Figure.:idk: Of course I think most people in MI are lazy azzez. That's right, they'd rather not work than work... 7% is pretty high though, so options are not as good as other places... The thing is, there are still options... What's funny about the whole arguement is that people fail to realize that cashiers and shelf stockers are the bottom line entry level positions... jobs that can be found almost anywhere... The kind of job that's perfect for high school kids... You want to make more money, you need skills... You want skills, put yourself 10's of thousands of dollars in debt and go to college... That's what I'm doing...

In your opinion, name some companies that you admire. I bet I can find some evil deeds with them. Did you know that german car makers is a haven for nazi's? wonder why jews like to purchase them... hmmm. There's no shame in being a wal*mart shopper, or using microsoft products.

I am just a stupid indian...:bonk: Indian care to compare Germany to China workers :lol: Germany pays workers very well, gives better benefits above American workers. German products sell in America because engineering leads the world. Americans pay a premium for advanced engineering, unlike China. China, pays workers cents on the hour without benefits. China copies products to steal America jobs. Make you feel happy most good paying American manufacturing jobs are heading to 10 cent hour China workers????????????????? See why poor Americans shopping at Walmart are only cutting thier own throats:whistle:

name one fortune 500 company that doesn't... a corporation is all about making the executives fat at the expense of it's laborers. i've lost a good paying job at bell labs (downsizing), but that doesn't mean i would never purchase their products. look at the govt., they're no angel either. sounds like you want to live in a bubble. when UPS went public, customer service dropped and employee benifits started to suffer. they also closed down their call centers and laid off 80% of their I.T. staff with no option to fill other job openings. but we still use UPS, eh? err, did you buy an american made bike? did you know japanese big businesses also underpay their laborers? In your opinion, name some companies that you admire. I bet I can find some evil deeds with them. Did you know that german car makers is a haven for nazi's? wonder why jews like to purchase them... hmmm. There's no shame in being a wal*mart shopper, or using microsoft products. Life goes on... -a|ex Since Walmart thread. Lets see if anybody has anything bad to say how Costco treats its employee's:dthumb: Costco turns very nice profit with high stock price. Costco offers nice wage, health insurance for all, stock option plan, plus everybody seems happy when you visit a Costco unlike Walmart.

Indian care to compare Germany to China workers :lol: Germany pays workers very well, gives better benefits above American workers.

China copies products to steal America jobs. Make you feel happy most good paying American manufacturing jobs are heading to 10 cent hour China workers????????????????? See why poor Americans shopping at Walmart are only cutting thier own throats:whistle: China vs. Germany... Apples and oranges... The bottom line is China is an over-populated industrial behemoth that has an economy that is growing by 10% a year... Find me a place with 1 Billion+ people and such economic growth that doesn't have an intensely competitive job market... Go ahead... try... Now plug in the fact that we are living in a global economy where we are forced to compete with them... whether we want to or not... Therein lies the problem... And here are our options: 1)Keep all the manufacturing jobs here in the States and lose our collective asses in the global market. Get left in the dust by other countries who will shift their economic focuses away from manufacturing and move towards services and technilogical development. 2)Become one of those countries who adapt to the fact that China is not going away anytime soon and try to shift our attention to how we can manipulate that to our advantage on a broad scale... ie. start using our brains and stop using our backs. A more fair comparison of labor forces would be that of Germany and the United States... (as pulled from Wikipedia) Germany's labor force: services (71.9%), industry (25.9%), agriculture (2.2%) United States labor force: managerial and professional (31.1%), technical, sales and administrative support (28.6%), services (14.1%), manufacturing, mining, transportation, and crafts (23.7%), farming, forestry, and fishing (2.5%) Germany's GDP by sector: agriculture (1.1%), industry (28.6%), services (70.3%) United States GDP by sector: agriculture (0.9%), industry (19.7%), services (79.4%) Funny how our stats are similar with one exception... Unemployment rates... Germany: 12.1% (Jan '06) United States: 4.6% (Aug '06) So yeah, really cutting our own throats by adapting to the global market... Sorry pal, but it's not the '50s anymore... The United States can no longer be competitive in manufacturing... You can wish in one hand, crap in the other, but no matter how much you cry about it... You're gonna end up with a handful of crap and nothing else... In closing... CONGRATULATIONS! :dthumb: Now if there is any other arguments you would like me to shut down for you, I am finished watching Return of the Living Dead and will be adjourning to bed because I have to work in the AM. You'll have to wait to be wrong another day...

Since Walmart thread. Lets see if anybody has anything bad to say how Costco treats its employee's:dthumb: Costco turns very nice profit with high stock price. Costco offers nice wage, health insurance for all, stock option plan, plus everybody seems happy when you visit a Costco unlike Walmart. And damn Wal*Mart for forcing people to work there...

Costco contracts 75% of their programmers to India. Well, I should be more specific. Costco partners with US Technology which hires India based programmers. Costco's I.T. employee goal is to have a ratio of 1:5 (one US manager to 5 employees from India) I expect this ratio to increase, considering it first started out as 1:2, then grew to 1:3. In this article, Costco makes it sound like they didn't outsource: On the surface, they hire american laborers. behind the scenes, U.S. jobs are outsourced to the cheapest contracts. http://searchcio.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid19_gci1080812,00.html This is typical of all fortune 500 companies. -a|ex

:yaewn: i'm :leaving:. i have too much dignity to keep arguing with jetski. Most people end up saying the exact same thing due to non-sequiter arguments and antagonistic posting.

jetski...why don't you run for president so i can vote against you. you must be a republican. hail to the chief! :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: Actually I was thinking since he was so concerned about workers rights and jobs going overseas that he is probably a hardcore liberal... That would coincide with where he lives pretty well too... Most people end up saying the exact same thing due to non-sequiter arguments and antagonistic posting. It's just so much fun proving someone wrong... It's like wrestling a pig... you both get dirty, but the pig LIKES it! I... happen to be a pig.

i don't agree with jetskifast but i do like to stoke the fire as well as calm the mood with a laugh... so here we go MD5eEFoWnPs
