Walmart hasn't destroyed this country! RAP music has! And no children get spanked anymore, oh wait... ever been to walmart? LOL

I just started working at Walmart.  There "new"  insurance for new employees that's supposed to be so wonderful sucks. It's 20.00 biweekly and only pays a maximum of 1000.00. Can't afford it at there pay rate, and a thousand dollar's is a joke when it comes to health care.  No previous conditions are covered.

 They have a plan where employees can by stock.  At there rate of pay most employees can't afford to by there stock, when they do it's used as a savings account. Use it for holidays. There are alot of down sides to Wal-mart.  

 By the way I shop at krogers, dollar stores, k-mart and goodwill.  

 So yes, I work there, have never liked the store, however, jobs are hard to come by right now. Money is money.

I think Walmart sucks!  It is like a huge cancer foisted on us.  They are one of the most sued retailers in history.  Why can they advertise such cheap prices and at whose cost?  Underpaid and overworked employees who are denied basic medical benifits because they are offered to them at too high a price!  Sweat shop labor from other  countries.  So again what price does one pay for cheap?  I think that store is digusting and promised myself to never, ever shop there until they change their image.

snowed, plowed, taken to the cleaners, disparaged, abused, underpaid, over-managed by petty people, and never mind accepting the ideas of it's employees only to re-use and repackage and trademark employee suggestions and ideas as their own company brand and issuing ice cream parties in place of true rewards and then handing over a bonus exchange to collecting, no smarter than average managers who don't back their own employees and only cover their behinds and pat their own backs, dysfunctional "drive by management" as Dilbert puts it...

I really admire all of these Democrats that hate Wal Mart. It was their  dream team Bill and Hillary from Arkansas that helped this Arkansas corporation. It was their Hillary that sat on the board. It was them that flew all over the country on Wal Mart's private jets.

The Sam's Club and Wal Mart are not that bad on prices for some routine household items (toliet paper, batteries, and some miscellaneous things). However most of their product is low grade China made garbage that will end up in the landfill shortly.

An Observation and potential Cash Cow for Wal-Mart.  I noticed in my local Wal-Mart that there is now a Coin Counting Machine that you can put your collected coins into and receive a voucher for cash.  Of course this is after a roughly 9 cent per dollar cut.

I Think that Wal-Mart should offer to put those counted coins onto a gift/shopping card at no fee.  The gift card gets you 3 cents off of gas if you have a gas station at your locale.  Wal-Mart offers 10% discounts to their employees (which I think should be more), but often toats that it passes savings onto its customers.  Lets get green and save gas by having this potential Tonage of Coins collected and shipped by on of the biggest companies in the world.  I guess this would be a better idea if Wal-Mart were actually allowed to get into banking.

Oh, but wait.  No one wants Wal-Mart in the banking business because of what they have done to the mom and pops......

Well, we all hate the banks and their sometimes rediculous fees.  Let Wal-Mart get into this mix and I am sure you will see you banking fees and practices change for the better.

I am not totally Wal-Mart.  I am open enough to realize what they have done and can still do to help the average person.  Wal-mart Cost me my first business (atleast I had them to blame), but they made my next business.  Fast nickels or Slow Dimes is a old business saying, it does not really matter which way you go, but if you are ripping your customer and not passing on any savings, then you are just gready and not looking for growth.

If a dollar store has it,it will be much cheaper than wal-mart. Full of unfriendly employees who haven't bathed recently, ihate to go to wal-mart. I will do without before shopping there,its worth paying a little more to get a friendly clerk smiling and talking to you. K-mart is much better,friendlier and smaller and not much higher.

James: If your family had a "low-income" budget, why do you spend $200 there?

And, uh, prices at Walmart aren't 100% cheaper than elsewhere...Why do people say 'why pay double at other stores' when Walmart is, at most, only about 10% cheaper? Unless you are one of those who live off of the discount aisle, it really doesn't do any good if you over-spend while buying "discount items" when you wouldn't have bought them anyway and just spent less on the whole.

In defence of the people who really DO have low incomes -- a gallon of milk for $4, or bread that costs $2 a loaf, the daily necessities you need to live; tell me, is that cheap? Even a normal-sized jar of peanut butter at our Walmart here is three dollars plus about 40 cents. One box of Special K or Life cereal is on the high end of three dollars. Those are insane prices, if you ask me. I would rather save my money than buy generic oatmeal for $2.48.

Sure, these prices are ones that we can "afford." Yes, I can "afford" a $5,000 TV, or a $300 iPhone, but I'm not going to spend that much. "...at prices you can afford!" is only the half-truth.

The money being spent at Walmart is going overseas to people who have, literally-- taken our jobs. It is only encouraging this giant money-snatching corporation to keep the ball rolling.

One additional note: With gas prices as they are, the semis that are used to transport the imported goods cost about one dollar a minute to operate. Semis waste so much [diesel] fuel, and they generate pollution. And Walmart does nothing to change this? Look at the big picture: they steal our jobs, take our money, is is not in the least eco-friendly; most of all, they are taking our sense of American pride that we once had in quality, the quality that the store was once based upon. Everything said, "Made in America." It disgusts me when I see that even some food is "Made in China." Quality has gone downhill, Americans are still dishing out money, Walmart keeps making money, losing quality.

Has Sam Walton become the replacement of Uncle Sam? The poster says, "We want you[r MONEY].

Support the local enonomy. Keep the cash flow within the local area, not overseas.

MOST OF YOU PEOPLE

DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

WALMART TAKE CARE OF THE FEMALE, JUST AS MUCH AS ANY OTHER COMPANY.  THEY HAVE

THE SAME PAY AS MEN AND THE JOBS ARE EQUAL. IN THIS DAY AND

AGE WALMART IS GIVING

HOPE TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. SO AS THE OLD

SAY GOES!!! DON'T THROW STONES AT A GLASS HOUSE, THE HOUSE MIGHT BE YOURS.

I personally do not like wal-mart but my reasons differ from yours entirely. Did you know that the average wal-mart employee cannot sustain a family with the wages the get paid, it is a total shame that a company of its dimensions has no consideration for employees' families.  A single mom wouldn't be able to raise a child with their wages either, so what do you say? do you really "rollback" when you hear it. I don't  and I don't like to give my money to a company with such unethical principles, i'm sorry but I'm not like that and I totally disagree with those that think Wal-mart is better than Sears, JC Penney, or even Target. It is a detestable place to be  in each and every way.  "Where are the working poor in America? Wal-mart is the biggest employer in America. Wal-mart advertises that they can supply all of your needs through their 'Supercenter'  stores. But can a single parent, employed full-time at Wal-mart,raising two children 4 and 12, afford the "always low prices" to meet their basic needs?...the conclusion is that with Earned Income Tax Credit the family is lifted just above the poverty line."          Author-Stan Cox
