How do you feel about Wal-Mart?

Personally, I think Walmart is nothing but a greedy corporate giant that doesn't care about anything but making money. They treat their employees like crap(I used to work there) and have the worst benefits you can think of. If it wasn't for other stores being so far away I wouldn't even shop at Walmart, but the Walmart in my town is only about a mile away. I really have no choice. I don't like it, but I do it anyway. :(\n\nI can't stand Walmart!!!

Definitely Target!  The overall atmosphere is much different in Target than it is in Walmart, for the better.  In my opinion, Target is cleaner, not as "frenzied".  Also, the two stores attract very different types of people!

I hate the mall. TOO EXPENSIVE!!! I go to Wal-Mart instead. I could live at Wal-mart, and I'm sure they have showers there. B/C Wal-Mart has everything!!!

I think walmart handles all of their logistics management inhouse.  I believe they use a network of cartage suppliers to expand their warehouse and trailer yards but I am pretty sure the management itself is done in-house.

I am a Office Depot fan...I have never had a problem with them but what I would do is talk to the employees a few in each store happy people do great work they have to care about their job to have any type of pride in it.

I don't know - some people will do anything to save 42 cents on Comet so they can buy a DVD they don't need.  I hate that store.  I would like to say I hate it mostly because of their business practices, but that's not the real reason.  The real reason is because the stores seem dirty, there are too many snotty-nosed filthy screaming children, and I feel like I need to shower as soon as I come out.  Of course, I've only been inside two (2) Wal*Marts, but that's enough for me, thanks.

From the consumers point of view; it is a good thing because you can find many different items under one roof at great prices. Saves time and gas...and we all need to save both of those these days.\n\nFrom the employees point of view; no, not a good thing.  Walmart has been in the news for violations regarding worker overtime pay and discrimination against women. They need to clean up that act, and fast, because some communities don't want them around with that record, no matter how great they may be for the consumer.

Wal-Mart has a couple of marketing strategies right now:\n1)  using employees to dispel the negative campaign against wal-mart by showing that it is a place of diversity and opportunity\n2)  feature their high-end products to show that they aren't just a low-end discount store\n3)  showing families shopping to show how wal-mart meets the needs of everyday families

I donot know anyone personally who doesnot shop there, but I do know the people who donot shop there, dosenot for the reason that Walmart makes billions of dollars and have, really, no health benefits at all. They work for a company that makes so much but literally pay their employees NOTHING. You have a better plan working for Target or K-Mart. That is why a lot of little towns don't want a Walmart coming to their neighborhoods. That and because they are crushing the little Mom and Pop shops, causing more unemployment. Especially if you live somewhere that has about 3 of them with in a 5 mile radius of each other.

Not much. I live within 30 miles of the Wal-Mart HQ. Wal-Mart pretty much controls the companies, not the other way around.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the retail giant that grew up in the rural South, is moving to attract gay shoppers as it expands its presence in urban centers. \n\nBy entering into a partnership with the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce this week, the company “is making a very sincere effort to reach out to people who are a significant part of our customer base,” Wal-Mart spokesman Bob McAdam said Wednesday. \n\nI don't know if they're donating money, but they have joined alliances with gays and lesbians.

Target: its a much nicer store and the prices are just as good. the clothing and housewares etc. are a better quality. It has a better toy department.\n\nThe employees at walmart look miserable and my daughter even said that.\n\nalthough- if its an item sold at BOTH stores I will call and see which has a better price. Like when buying Leapster games for example.

I went to K-Mart and Target also. There are so many families who depend on lay-away to be able to buy Christmas. I hope Wal-Mart loses money this year -  bigtime!\n\nThat's just an examply of a huge multi million dollar company thinking only of themself - no concern for their customers!!! I hope everyone remembers this not just at Christmas time, but all throughout the year!

Walmart is a private business, they have the right to sell or not sell the items they want. Unless laws dictate them one way or another.  I feel it is great that they are concerned about what they do sell.  And since there are other choices of stores to shop at, if one doesn't like it, they can shop somewhere else.  Just like I have the option of not shopping at stores selling things I don't agree with
