I personally have never been inside a Walmart store, Nor will I ever go into a Walmart store. What is there saying, live better buy Walmart, they pay their employees [bleep] put them on a 35 hour work week no benefits, help them get government assistance, food stamps. Treat them like garbage, I knew a person that was a manager for them for a short time. Yet the Waltons are filthy rich. Yup. Dollar General may actually be worse.

If they weren't, people wouldn't work there. #3 35 hours a week is considered full time and qualifies an associate for all benefits, including insurance. Yes, the Waltons are very wealthy. So is Bill Gates, Donald Trump, the Busch's and many others that have worked hard for their money.

Some Can and they leave and some can't unfortunately. We are all not in jobs that we adore and love. So you're saying they are forced to stay there? Really?

When one of my sons and a couple of buddies were caught "shoplifting" a few things at Walmart one night a couple of years ago, I was steamed........ at my son. But when Walmart extorted me to the tune of 500% of the value of stuff they had with them - only a fraction of which they had taken from the store- I paid it to avoid protracted legal adventures. And having willingly done that, they then attempted to further their profit-making foray at my expense for trying to get another 1000%.
I have no use for a business which makes their own bad behavior overshadow that of my own offspring. It's pretty hard to try to tell your own kid how wrong they were in their actions when they see stuff like that.
After I delivered a letter to the local manager in person, a copy of the letter I also sent to their legal team nearly two years ago, I haven't darkened the doors of any Walmart store. They can piss off.

Let's see if I have this right. Some folks here want us all to boycott Walmart, and Target, and Sears, and Wendy's, and Chick-Fil-A, and Outback Steakhouse, and Levi's, and Chevy, and Ford, and Smith & Wesson, and Ruger, and...
So tell me, where do you guys buy anything? Quantas.

They didn't get rich by losing money...how many layoffs have they had the last eight years? You do realize that when they raise their operating cost because of govt. mandated health coverage the cost of staying in business goes up right? When they raise wages, their cost for unemployment taxes and workers comp goes up right? When their costs go up, who are the costs passed on to? You got to remember too, that nowadays, a lot of people really trying to save money shop for a lot of stuff on-line. If Walmart were to go tits up, it would put a whole schittload of people out of work...Hey, I got a GREAT idea!!! Let's raise their corporate taxes another 50% and see how well THAT works out...Maybe Al Gore or Hillary can get the green police on them and start taxing them for all the carbon based emissions their customers are emitting???

So tell me, where do you guys buy anything? LMAO! Exactly and don't forget about Heinz, Campbells, Bertolli and about 50 others this site has declared a boycott on. You can't shop, entertain or eat anything. Just stay at home and breath.  Oh yeah and the NFL and any sports venue that does not think or act the same as you. Guess that would also include anything in .270. In fact, don't even drive on I-270!!
Proud to be a true Sandlapper!!

Yep. The ones in Des Moines have a good bakery, considering.

It's OK to boycott boycotts. Right now they're just a suggestion.
