    i understand what you're saying but think about it. if a person is forced to work at wal mart or be unemployed...maybe they should do something with their lives. Go to school, get an education.

      It's not that easy for everyone to just go to school and get an education... people work shit jobs because they have no other choice. Say, a 18 year old single mother with no family or anyone to help out.. how the fuck is she going to afford school let alone find time?

      Walmart creates TONS of jobs all over the world. They are USA's biggest employer...

        Minimum wage with no employee rights in the US... Underage labour, sweat shops and pollution in China. What a socially responsible employer.

          also most of their shit comes from China, personally I would not even wear underwear made there, the material / color can give you cancer. Those conniving oriental bastards would sell their hoe mom to save a penny.

            Min wage is better than no job.

            Sweat shops are bad, but it's better than starving or turning to prostitution, no? It's not like every sweatshop in China kidnaps people and forces them to work. They work there because it's their best bet. If they raise wages in sweatshops, it wouldn't be worth having factories in China and therefore they wouldn't exist and the people would be unemployed..

            Sweat shops = bad. No sweat shops = worse.

            Wal Marts = bad. No Walmart = worse.

              If you don't like Walmart, don't shop there.

                No one is supposed to "start" working as the CEO. You are supposed to start in a shit job and work your way up. Do a good job, follow the rules, get a promotion or two, then move on.

                I wish I had Wal-mart as a kid. Working there would have been a lot better than washing / scrubbing mountains of dishes, or serving blue hairs at the local steakhouse.

                I bet WalMart has put more vendors out of business than competitors. They are pricks to sell to. Whatever you sell them, you will get 1/2 back.

                    As a capitalist i favor walmarts right to exist & do business how they choose.

                    As a decent human, i choose not to shop at walmart.

                      Walmarts sucks the money out of the local economy. Mom and pop shops go out of business. The local supermarkets either close down or reduce their work force....

                      Walmart literally sucks the money out of the local economy by taking all profits and hauling it off to Bentonville to be stashed in the Waltons family vaults. Most companies usually re-invest in the local economy. What Walmart does is exploit the system to the max for their gain.

                        low prices on products, if there wasnt an appeal to walmart, people woudnt go there to shop.

                        they are so cuthroat to get their customers the lowest prices possible that they have horrible reputations among their suppliers and employees ;)

                        its like when the fast food industry became big and pushed all the small mom and pop diners toi closing.
