    People of Walmart try really hard but you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.

    Sam Walton is turning in his grave. He WANTED to have US made products, but when the kids took over, they saw the HUGE profit in cheap, foreign goods. But don’t worry, the Walton’s just open a nice museum in Bentonville—where the working classes can PAY to see what their sacrifices have wrought.

    The writing is on the “Wal-Mart.” Entrepreneurship requires money to start for which banks charge enormous interest so that the entrepreneur can never get ahead or make a profit. Sure, he/she can pay the bills and employees but there’s nothing left to support their own lives.

    I have not shopped wal-mart in years. One – I don’t need the import junk and two – buy quality once not junk 2 or 3 times. If you do, please use their liberal return policy, buy a lawn mower use it for the summer then return if and tell them it does not run right. (People really do this.) Of course it dosen’t cost them anything because the mfg. has to pay them back. When the mfg. learns too many people are doing this and they are losing money then they will quit giving wal-mart that super discount that they don’t give other stores. Why do you think wal-mart only carries one or two brands??

    where I live, there are 3 Wal-Marts withing 10-20 minutes of me. The newspaper last week reported that 3-4 more “smaller” Wal-Marts are possibly going to be going up in the general downtown area. That’s 5-10 minutes away. I agree that Wal-Mart has the right to exist, but this is a little excessive.

    I work at wally-world aka “wal-mart” please don’t blame the people that work there for the problems you can blame the upper managers and the cooperate that set the polices. If I could I would find another line of work in a heart beat.

    (sigh) I know. I remember when they were plentiful, and the goods were of quality and not “Made in China.” I’m a dinosaur who remembers what real vanilla ice cream tasted like.

    In the “good old days”, you went into a store and told them what you wanted. Now, they tell you what to buy. Some years ago, my son bought a word processor at WM. (The transition between typewriters and computers) One year later, they weren’t even selling the ribbon for it.

    Thank God for Wal-Mart. As a disabled senior I buy approx 75% of my purchases at Wal-Mart, including groceries. You can’t beat the prices, the stores are close to my home, and they’re all “Handicapped Friendly”.. AND, a most of the imports are better quality than those bearing the “Made In USA” labels. Historical note: Back in the ‘50s there was a big push to boycott the cheap good coming in from Japan and buy products “Made In USA”. What most of the buyers in the country didn’t know was that “Usa” is a manufacturing city in Japan!!

    Sadly, you’re not… now, they only exist in towns that are too small to have a Walmart. :-(

    Not that WalMart would provide the list to you, but this strip is literally true. WalMart has been known to inventory stores in an area, sell the same products as the other stores but at a loss, and deliberately drive them out of business. Once they’ve driven the other stores out of business, they then have a monopoly and can go back to their regular prices.

    And Wal-Mart did away with the Five&Ten stores as well as so many stores at the mall.

    After 20 years of serving the community, the local photo studio/lab I work at is closing its doors. Between Wal Mart, CVS, Walgreens, and this piss poor economy it finally happened.

    Thanks to Wal Mart, a 3 year old can use a giant crayon on an index card and list all the Mom & Pop’s with room left over.

    Boycott walmart and all subsidiaries.While your at it boycott Scotts/MiracleGro too. Organic is not only healthier for us and the earth it’s less expensive in the long term.

    Why is Wal-Mart worse than Costco or Target?
