Good- MAJOR employer, good wages, good diversity hiring policy for minorities, American success story, great low prices, open 24 hrs, one stop shopping. Very respectable employee discount.\n\nBad- recently sued by ppl trying to keep them from gobbling up and destroying their neighborhoods by their saturation scheme of "wal-marts everywhere". Recently sued by women as a class-action suit for their "glass ceiling" of limited advancement and lower wages compared to males in exact same jobs. \nThey throw away books, by tearing off the covers, turning the covers in as "remainders" for credit from the publishers, and just throwing away the bodies of the books.\nThe throw away more in a single day than most people could eat or use in a lifetime. \nTheir price "rollbacks" are hiding the costs by moving them around- raising prices on some items to reduce them on others.\nThey micromanage- having too many assistant managers, dept managers, etc. In some cases 2 different managers will tell you to do opposite things. "manager" is a title thrown around that has little meaning, it's purpose is to get employees to care about their job, but they don't really have any voice or say in it.\nPromised bonus of $200 for making an inventory goal was reduced to $93.15 by the time it reached employee hands.\n\nUGLY- the Waltons (owners) are among the top 20 richest people in the United States, making the Forbes Richie list every year. And they've left Sam Walton's dream far behind.\n\nThey are now using their own TV channel for advertising, to bombard shoppers WHO ARE ALREADY IN THE STORE with constant ads. \nWal-Mart has gone corporate in the worst way, and moved from caring about the American Worker to exploiting the American consumer. They say "no one puts a gun to your head and forces you to shop there." But what would you call it if a major chain like Wal-Mart can move into an area and run all the mom-&-pop operations out of business because they can't compete with the juggernaut?\n\nWalmart is the American Dream turned dark, ugly, and sour.

Are you kidding me? As a Yankee liberal living in a Southern Red state I can relate to what your saying. My only saving grace is that I work in a field where there is an abundance of liberals. When I'm with my liberal brethren, the air is sweeter, the sun is brighter, food is tastier...you get the idea. Some criminal republicans can be a downer at times trying to make you (liberals) feel as if we're some sort of subversive counter-culture when the opposite is the truth. Just tell your favorite repug. to put the tin-foil back on their head as FoxNews and newsmax. com is calling their name.

i don't complain about Wal Mart but your right. Why criticize one but not the other. Practice what you preach.

So, since I'm gay, and apparently that means I'm mentally handicapped...Do I get to use those freakin' awesome parking spaces that are so close to the entrance of most stores?  Like walmart.  Damn, parking sucks there.  I could so use this on them.  Eee!  I'm excited!\n\nIt really is a bunch of BS, and goes to show how anti-gay our military really is.  Next thing you know, they'll say it's a contagious mental disease, and they'll say they don't want all of the army turning gay, having sex instead of fighting, and leaving all their families back home.  Ah well.  At least I win in the end, with my awesome parking spaces.

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) Have you seen the episode of Frontline about it? (If not check out the site at the bottom---you can see the full show online.There is another documentary available on DVD about it too, which I have not seen entitled " Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price" by Edith Arana, Red Esry, Rev. Altagracia Perez, and Donna Payton. Supposedly Wal-Mart attempted to have it stopped but was not able to. I do know people that work there that were instructed not to watch it.) \n\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 goose-chase 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 do not think it likes long answers.)

Yes, becaue Wal-Mart is the devil. They mistreat their employees. Because of this the employees are rude to customers. Plus WM takes away from small businesses. I never go there no matter how good their prices. I like to maintain my quality of life and fighting my way through aisles of welfare families isn't my idea of a good time.

Sorry proff, but is all about enriching ones self, you seen the one above me. Liberals are the scum of the earth because they care about people, it is wrong to care about anybody but yourself. I personally have seen both sides and I can't be so callus, maybe that is why I am a democrat. I think if you have a pile of boxes and you want to move them it is better to lift from the bottom that way you move all three boxes but if you lift from the top as the repuglicans do then all you lift is the top.

New unionization in USA is a thing of the past (and has been for a long time). Thank the rednecks who tend to shop at Wal Mart and the fascists who run the place. (They all voted unions into powerlessness) If you work at Wal-Mart, you don't understand the machinery that is crushing you. Also, think of their products and how their slave labor who make those products in asia are treated! Way worse than that. Do you remember how KMart managers were treated when Wal Mart was crushing Kmart? Inhuman, impossible jobs assigned to them. I would have quit and been treated better being homeless, even if I had kids, so do a job search for your hubby while he works. SERIOUSLY! You can facilitate his new career at some teenie tiny store and be much happier. Help him get a job, any job and be much happier. I had close friends get the life sucked out of them trying to stay on the sinking ship. WalMart is not sinking, but they will sink you!

I shop there because there for food because none of the other supermarkets in town can beat their prices.  I try to buy things like toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent and other household cleaning items from the local dollar stores.  If there was a supermarket in town that could compete with Wal-Mart's prices on food, I would definitely shop there instead!!  I hate going into Wal-Mart because it is always so crowded and because the workers are not very friendly.  Of course, it would be hard to be friendly for what they get paid, but that's a whole different topic!

You are all over the place with this one, son.  You'll be hard pressed to find a marxist conservative (the two are on opposite sides of the spectrum) and liberal is more or less between the two and doesn't really fully agree with either side.  Then you want this nutjob to be in the center; somebody has been listening to too much Rush Limbaugh, or Al Franken--I'm not sure which.

I think Walmart will lose business.  This is how my mother always purchased gifts and school clothes.  Their idea is that most people have credit cards but I don't think they are a good idea.\n\nWalmart does a lot of things I don't agree with but I still shop there.\n\nI would love to boycot the place but I can't afford to.

Simply - BOYCOTT! \n\nI refuse to shop at Walmart. I wont buy gas from any of the Major Oil Companies. Unfortunately, we all need phone service, and in the 80's the feds broke up the phone company monopoloy - but it has rebuilt itself! So, boycott the govt, and dont elect greedy republicans to any position! If no one shopped at Walmart, they wouldnt be making money...

Why do you want to. Walmart will bring in more jobs and is a good place to shop ,cheaper then most.A good place to work.
666452
Yes, they are evil. But there are a lot of things I buy there, too, because they're cheaper than everywhere else. \n\nThe only thing that can convince any of us not to shop there is going in at the wrong time, like the day the welfare accounts get replenished.

Sounds pretty good to me, that must be why I'm a liberal.\n\nhttp://www.m-w.com/dictionary/liberalism
