hey, did y'all ever figure out if walmart is good or bad for america?
 

i hadn't been to a walmart in years, went to my local one and was impressed, super low prices, super clean and a lot of busy worker bees working away.

example: bananas were 30c/pound v. 67c/pound at the local grocer.

i haven't set foot in a walmart since '04 i think.... don't intend on doing so any time in the foreseeable future.

don't know but I work there... :disgust







:uhoh

y'all reckon

you know what the plural of y'all is?

Walmart is the champion of success for capitalism, this is why liberal shit stains like AMP dont like them.

You are right, very low prices and puts a lot of people to work.

I just wish they would sell more American made products.

I avoid Wal Mart like herpes.

My wife shops there for food, but only early in the morning. Before the idiots wake up.

there are no more idiots at walmart than there are at vons, ralphs, food4less, albertsons, etc. everybody has to get their groceries.

in fact, i was 2nd in line to check out at walmart and another cashier approached me and let me know her line was empty.

all in all a very good shopping experience!

But agreed, there are idiots everywhere.

I shop walmart, to help keep those kids in 3rd world countries and China employed.
My gf was unemployed for over a year(applied to a shit load of places) and finally got a job at walmart and loves working there. I do most of my shopping at the local mom and pop places

haha... is there a plural for it?

i buy wherever its cheapest, often thats walmart. with the name brands you get the same shit everywhere anyways..

Asda (Wal-Mart's UK bit) is for pikey scum. But they do seem to have good deals on alcohol quite often. Dilemma.

there sure is-


all y'all


in a sentence:

are all y'all fixin to go to walmart?

hahahahahahahahahah

you are truly an idiot.

Would all y'all like your pop in a sack? <<---- had someone from the south ask me that.

I heard somewhere that bullets are sold at Walmart in the USA.

Oh shit, now you added "fixin" too.

Texan.

:1orglaugh

Speaking of bananas, WalMart sells more bananas than anything else and considering WalMart is the largest retailer in the world, bananas must be the #1 product in the world.

Whoda thunk?

there's even e-bonics for southern slang...

fixin' = fittin'

i.e. "I'm fittin' ta bust a cap in yo ass cracka."

fuck walmart :2 cents:

thank you for your time.

We say POP here too, but not in the south.

I grew up in Buffalo where it was "pop." Took me a long time and many funny looks getting use to asking for "soda."

Fitten to put your pop in your sack in your buggy? Y'all from norlins?

edit.. sorry sorry.. I meant nawlins.

WalMart killed Main St.

I never would have thought I'd see bananas being sold, a very good price, at Circle K.

you caught that! yup, all texan, well, edumacated in california. :1orglaugh

well, @ .30c/pound i believe it. good looking and tasty bananas too, the local grocers all carry already ripened ones, last about 2 days at +2x the price

i usually buy cleaning supplies and automotive supplies for my business there, best price around and the same brands as other stores. only hippie fucks like amp would pay higher prices for the same stuff.

Wrong. I go to other stores that aren't run by evil corporations like Wal-Mart.

Prices are no higher, and in fact, less where I shop.

to answer the question of is wal mart good for America... no it is not. They do not support other American run businesses, their employees are under paid and given part time only positions to avoid benefits, hours are cut regularly, they employ illegal methods to avoid unionization and they hurt, not help the overall economy.

Yeah, they are inexpensive and while they cannot be blamed for the disintegration of the middle class; they and companies like them play the biggest role in sending jobs to other countries.

i don't understand what makes walmart evil? they are the largest employer in the country, sans the military, run a case study worthy business, promote from within and offer the lowest prices available. as i understand it, the issues are

1. they run mom & pops out of business. well, that's the system and i'd wager they ultimately employ more than all the mom & pops that can't compete and add more to the local economy as well as the overall economy.

2. slave labor. i've heard the stories, but the fact is they promote almost exclusively from within and when you have 150,000 people on the payroll, some of those peeps are going to have a problem and make that public.

3. chinese products. they're retailers not true manufacturers, they sell what's all ready made, it's not really there fault shit gets produced in china.

could be wrong but that's how i see it all.

watch this some time: Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price

you'll have a hard time proving to me unions provide value to the modern day economy.

i've watched that at least 2x.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

well, everyone is free to make their own decisions.
my personal decision on walmart is, i have no need or desire to ever spend a dime there.

That sounds like every other retailer to me.

At least they are selling their products cheaply and not like the so called luxury brands that employ the same tactics except selling things cheaply and generally only benefit the designer and/or shareholders.
