There is enough physical proof that WalMart is Evil. Go to any place where there is a WalMart. At every location you will find that the little guys have been run out of buisnes. You WILL find many vacant office properties. Many shopping strips with over half of it for rent because who was there was put out of work. That is the physical evidence I speak of. To make things better it is not done by accident. It is a diliberate function of WalMart.

Here is how it works. They scout out an area where there are plans to try and build a WalMart. They find out what the hot items are in the location. When the store finaly opens they slash the prices on all the hot items they discovered. Even if it means they lose profit in the sale. They know you will buy other things while you are in there. Eventualy WalMart gains full control of those hot items and the surrounding stores can no longer compete. As a result they lay down thier hat and close down. They are put out of buisness. Once that happens Walmart will then raise the prises on those select hot items since the compitition is now gone.

Am I making that up? Have you ever been in a brand new WalMart right when it opened. There are great prices on the things you bought nearby. They are cheap. As time goes on you will notice those prices increase on some items. That price increase means that part of the compitition has been cut out by underselling what they sold before WalMart opened the doors.

Even though this is a great buisness stratigy it puts many out of work. That is not fair and is Evil. If you shop at WalMart you are supporting thier practice. By buying something there you are saying you agree with putting surrounding buisnesses out of work along with all the Employees that lost thier jobs due to Buisnes closure. You are just as guilty as WalMart if you shop there.

Still think I am making this up then go out there and see for yourself. All those places ment to contain buisnesses are mostly empty as you get closer to a Wal Mart. That alone is the proof to what I said.

Not to mention WalMart treats thier employees like DOG DOO. Underpay and expect them to work hellasious hours. Looking at the statistics it shows Walmart has over a 70% turn arround. This means that over 70% of employees either quit or get fired within thier first year. That is proof to how they treat thier employees. Not to mention that they WILL be fired for comming to sites like this.

You want to keep thing running unfair then shop at WalMart. If you want to try and fix thier damage then never step foot in a WalMart.

WalMart will die eventualy. All big companies do. I just wish it was today. Target is catching up to them now.

Speaking of their ‘cheer’, I was in Walmart one day when they were doing the cheer. I came up behind some of the employees, and when the boss shouted, What have you got” (the answer is to shout Walmart), I shouted ‘RIPOFF’. She freaked and thought one of her employees did it. They all got a dressing down. I went away, laughing my butt off.

I have a disability and used their complimentary mobility cart. I barely got the cart back to the recharging area and before I could get it turned around and backed into the space, an employee came out barking at me to turn the cart around and plug it in to recharge. I have to move slowly because of arthritis and post polio syndrome, and she got very bossy and demanding. Fortunately, they’re not the only game in town and I will be shopping elsewhere. I can’t stand the whole business of greeters. I want to be left alone to get my stuff, get out of there and go on with my day without having to say hello to some complete stranger.

I think that people need to come together as a community to rid ourselves of the walmart menace. The question then becomes, how do we get rid of the walmart in our town? The only way I am aware of that worked was a serious drive among the staff to unionize. This happened in Quebec, the staff was determined to unionize – walmart packed up and left town! Infiltrate and unionize! Also, I think that it might help if a movement developed where ordinary members of the public flipped the bird to anyone seen doing business with wallyworld.

I have worked for wal mart and I wasn’t treated like a person. luckly i got sick and couldn’t work there any more. i don’t like shopping there either. but the small town i live in has only a walmart. the other stores around is about fifty miles away so all we have is walmart. so the people here is stuck with walmart. there is never anyone around when you need help. just today i went in to pick up a refill on some medicine. i was told it was to soon to fill that medicine. I told them that i didn’t get a three month refill the last time i had it filled. they wanted to disagree with me. i made a scene right there and they finally gave me enough to last me for a month and half which it should have been. believe me if i had somewhere else to go i would

I actually worked for a walmart here in Texas, 2 actually. The experience wasnt the best job I have ever had, but I did make some good friends. The complaint I have is… my fiancee and 2 other friends were scheduled off Christmas eve as a reg day off… then they were all off Christmas night. Well… the store mgr has changed their schedules, despite plans with families, so they can stock and set the store. They have to go in to work at 10pm and now have split days off. That in all honesty really sucks!!!

My 3 HUGE issues with Walmart are; I go to Walmart in Jacksonville, Florida,on 103rd street with my daughter at 7:30 at night. I walk into the store through the Food Center Entrance and there are no grocery carts. We walked across the front of the store and still no carts. We walk back outside through the other entrance, and not being surprised there still are no carts. I asked the Walmart Greeter if I had to walk out into the parking lot and find my own cart. She told me yes. (Wow!) I told her I thought it was ridiculous that I had to walk around a parking lot, with my daughter, at night, to locate a cart so I could shop at the store. She told me that she thought it was ridiculous too. I asked her, why dont you do something about it and she just shrubbed her shoulders. How can Walmart think this is safe for women and children or anyone to be walking around a parking lot at night for a freakin buggy to shop in their store. I know they are a big corporate company-blah,blah,blah- and Im sure their CEO isnt concerened about this, just like supplying insurance for people that bust their butts working for them, but I feel, if you want people to shop in your store, you should take t safety, customer service, and cleanliness issues serious. Unfortunately, people would rather run their mouth about hating Walmart and then they turn around and still shop there. I told the Door Greeter that I wasnt going to search for a cart and I would spend my money somewhere else. My daughter and I left and went to KMart. The other issue I have with Walmart is their bathrooms. I WOULD RATHER USE A PORTABLE POTTY AT THE FAIR INSTEAD OF A BATHROOM AT WALMART!!!! This same Walmart has the GROSSES bathrooms I have ever been in!!! I went to the Photo Department and asked for a manager. The manager came out and I told him the same thing I just wrote. He said he would handle it. When I left the store 30 min. after speaking with him, I ran into the bathroom to see if it was cleaned up, IT WASNT!!! What is the deal with these people!!?? Is it laziness or just the quality of people they hire due to how Walmart makes them salve so they just screw the customers by not following regulations?? And to no surprise, the lines. It takes longer to pay for your stuff then it does to drive to the store and go inside and get what you want. You always see people walking around with their stupid little blue vest on, but you never see too many of them really doing something..?? How does that work??…Well, I promise you, Walmart is out of my list of places to shop at now. I will take my business to Target and KMart, pay my 10 to 15 percent higher and have a much nicer shopping experience. I just wish that other people would take this stand too, and maybe, just maybe Walmart would change something…..yeah, hell will freeze over before that happens. But, it was a nice thought for a second.
