Are you proud to be buying cheap Chinese communist  products from Wal*Mart?

I hate Wal-Mart! I never shop there unless I have to I absolutely cannot find the item anywhere else. \nI boycotted them for several reason:\n1) the reason you stated. Have you seen the episode of  Frontline about it?\n2) extremely poor service. If you go in there looking for something, you can never find it & if you ask someone that works there they send you on a wild goosechase before you find out they do not even carry it! Last time I was in there, I went for two items, it took forty-five minutes & I was not able to get either one of them! One of the items [Scotchgard] they did not even know what it was! Then I lost money in the soda machine, but the line for customer service was wrapped all the way around to the corner of the store, filled with people wanting to make returns. I asked a manager if they could help me & they said waiting in that line was the only way to get my money back. They only had one of three counters open, but there were several employees just standing around gossiping. The manager could have at least sent people over to open the two other counters so people did not have to wait so long. I have had several similar instances when the employees are unhelpful. I work in customer service & it just makes me so mad that I bend over backwards to help my customers but that it is extremely difficult to get good service when I go somewhere. Like, when you ask their employees if there are any in back---they do not even check. They just say the do not. Or when you ask where something is and they say "If it's not over there I don't know where it is" . \n3) Lack of selection. In most cases they only carry one name brand & their housebrand & the namebrand carried is not the one I use.\n4) Some items (especially the clothes) are low quality. We used to call them "Wal-Mart-fall-a-parts growing up.\n5) I can almost always find stuff cheaper somewhere else. I do not know why everyone thinks they are so cheap!\n\n(Sorry for any typos, spell check was not working.)

I totally agree. I got an awesome pair from Best Buy and they were only ten dollars. Wal*Marts are trash!

its a hard question you ask. they hire lots of people at low wages, but they provide a great service: cheap goods. but these goods are made in other countries, mainly China. i think i would rather pay slightly higher prices for stuff made in america, so i will vote that Wal-Mart is bad

Yeah, there was once when I was talking to this guy and he was speaking Chinese to me (coz' I look like a bit of Chinese myself) but I on the other hand wasn't really good in Chinese, and didn't exactly understood everything that he was saying. The worst part was, I simply played along with it - nodding all the while at what he was saying about the stuff I was interested in buying.\n\nWhen I finally made my decision, he took out the merchandise and was at the counter when he told me the amount of money that I needed to pay. Suffice to say, I was clueless and I was like: "Huh?" He simply repeated it in Chinese again, until I finally said: "I'm sorry I don't understand Chinese." He then told me the amount... in English...\n\nI never went back to that shop again though. I guess I'm just too embarassed to go back there and pretend that I can speak really good Chinese... =p

Yes, this is a communist day!  Communist are using illegals on this day!  Most of the people boycotting on this day don't even have any idea about this!\n\nCommunist-led coalition is supporting a pro-illegal alien boycott of work, school and shopping on May 1st. Make sure to save up any big shopping you've got planned in the future for May 1st!\n\nStrange how this "coalition" names themselves after the far left, pro-terrorist, hate-America-blame-America-first organization that exists in America today: ANSWER \n\nOr is it a coincidence? Note the communist/socialist/pro-terrorist organizations leading this coalition: ANSWER's steering committee includes the Free Palestine Alliance, the Partnership for Civil Justice, the Nicaragua Network, the Korea Truth Commission, the Muslim Student Association, the Mexico Solidarity Network and the Party for Socialism and Liberation. \n\nAlso please note the pro-Communist movement's "May Day" celebrations are held on May 1st in recognition of the Soviet Union's struggle for the communist laborer.

so in reality, you're helping communist China's troops...\n\nI'd support the stickers/magnets if they actually went to helping the troops. They need body armor and someone's pockets are getting filled off of them.

And even though they had deep discounts, their sales were down last weekend.  Perhaps being inclusive (Happy Holidays) really IS more polite than being exclusive (Merry Christmas).\n\nEither way, considering their shady business practices, I feel it is unethical for me to shop there regardless of what greeting they force their employees to say.  I am surprised that so many Christians would overlook Walmart's exceptionally low-paying jobs, no/little health care, policies requiring one to work off the clock, etc. just because of the phrase they are forcing their employees to say to customers.\nhttp://wakeupwalmart.com/

China has factories and they manufacture cheap stuff from high tech to low tech for consumers of the world.  Cuba only makes cigars.

No.!!!\nNobody has ever practised Communism the way that Karl Marx visualised, as they say my donkey stays my donkey.!!!\nWhat is yours is mine. what is mine stays mine.\nHypocrites is what they all where, thieves and liars while the people suffered.!!!

Some things are pretty bottom-of-the-barrel, but no one is forced to shop there. 80% of Wal-Mart's merchandise is the same you get anywhere else, but cheaper. \n\nI'd rather buy a $12 pair of Wrangler jeans to work in than to spend $60 for a pair of some designer crap that will only be in fashion for, oh, 30 minutes or so.

:}\nif this address materialism in general\nThen I think all companies that use Christianity soly for economic reasons are wrong, that would include walmart.\n\nIf you think walmart is the only company that would use Christianity to economic advantage I think you are wrong\n\nand no I do not believe that Walmart will control all buying or even a significant portion of it.

I'm not against illegal immigrants, but I am against their being used as slave labor.  I am against Wal-Mart, though.

I guess Walmart has the same problem as concerned consumers who try to buy American made whenever possible.\n\nthere is a dwindling list of available products!  American companies are using cheap foreign labor to cut costs of production.  Even they won't make it in America!\n\nExample:  One brand I would buy at Walmart was Jerzees.  Made in America.  I bought a sweat shirt last week.  The label "Made in Mexico"  Walmart is not the only corporation selling out America. \n\nThe consumer doesn't have much choice anymore. American made is just too scarce.  Congress will figure out this is not good about 10 years from now and start trying to patch it up......but it will be too late.\n\nUntil then, Americans will support child labor, poor working conditions and substandard wages for everyone in the world EXCEPT us.....we want everyone to be middle class at the very least no matter what their work habits are, no matter what education level they achieve.

No, Walmart is only fulfilling the request of the average consumer. Also remember, Walmart is one of the largest wholesale purchasers of American made products.
