So, tell me why we should boycott Walmart again. Lots of people seem to hate Walmart for lots of reasons, most not valid. They are good at what they do, but I see lots of ways a person could do it better and take a market share or two away from them, if they wanted to do something besides gripe. miles

I tend to think for myself
Not going to boycott

i stay away from walmart anyway.

pulling guns off the shelves for no reason was enough for me.

Explain. Some here sell guns, some don't. miles

The USA with 350 million people has a tiny, tiny percentage of folks that give gunowners a bad name. Walmart has a tiny, tiny percentage of its 2 million employees that make stupid decisions.
Seems you could find a better reason to boycott them, if that's your decision, than the referenced issue.

Walmart backs Hillary Clinton.

Used to know a lady who was a Wal Mart stockholder, back when Bill Clinton was in office, She said Hillary was on their board of directors at a very generous salary, although company records did not show her ever attending any board meetings or otherwise taking an active role. Her speculation was that this started when Bill was governor, and was just a business decision to buy off the wife of the governor of the state where your corporate headquarters was located.

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?

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.

Exactly

Yeah, because a police themed cake is racist.

Seems the employees can choose to work elsewhere, no?

The Walmart stores that sold firearms stopped stocking "assault" type guns in late August of last year but continued to sell conventional sporting type guns. Their claim as to why was because sales of that style guns had dropped significantly.

To my knowledge Walmart stopped selling handguns a good many years ago.

Bradfords. ;-{>8

Some Can and they leave and some can't unfortunately. We are all not in jobs that we adore and love.

You/they have made a choice, plain and simple.

Yup. Dollar General may actually be worse.

So many inaccuracies here. Typical of those that don't take the time to check the facts.
#1 The motto is Save Money, Live Better.
#2 Wal-Mart's wages are competitive with the other big box retailers. 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.

So you're saying they are forced to stay there? Really?

I was off on the Motto stand corrected. And that should've said a 34 hour workweek not 35 here's an interesting Link.pay me better and I'll take care living better.they can afford it.

Proud democrat and union supporter right?

The organization your link leads to is interesting as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demos_(U.S._think_tank)

No I'm not a Democrat I am a Republican and I am very proud union member. Operating engineers local 15 New York City.

Plumbers local 68. Fug Walmart

I have trouble with Union members trying to bitch about how anybody runs their business. miles

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.

This schit always cracks me up. I'm sure there are lots around who fell you make too much and should give them some.

^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

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???

Hell of a dung heap to be proud of...

2016 Election

OPERATING ENGINEERS ENDORSE HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT
“It’s time to put more Americans to work modernizing our infrastructure, from rebuilding roads and bridges to repairing leaky pipelines to upgrading our water systems,” Secretary Clinton said in a statement after receiving the IUOE endorsement.
“As President, I will fight to increase investment in our infrastructure and to protect the prevailing wage standards and project labor agreements that ensure construction careers open the door to a middle-class life. I'm proud to have the Operating Engineers as partners in this important work.”

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!!

Walmart makes cakes?

30 hours is considered full time now for health insurance.

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

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

They put their information behind a password... bet Union moneys go to Illary also.

Boycott Walmart??? Yeah right, that'll work.

Please explain how Walmart is any worse than other retailers. Retail is an awful place to work and it's ridiculous to expect to make a living wage working at it unless you feel you can become a manager. Even then, it's no picnic, fraught with uncertainty, and a poor life choice.

But that is way to late. I already don't go there.

I like that!

I stand in solidarity with BamBam, Operating Engineers Local 450, District 2, Texas, for over 50 years. Since ya'll seem to know nothing about Unions ..... If you belong to the NRA, you belong to a Union, dues paying and all the rest !!!! I don't know how this got from Aunt Jemima not baking cakes for PoPo to downing trade unions. You can't live without the NFL and the NBA (both Union organizations, and predominantly black). So does that mean you do support Black Lives Matter ????

BTW, I voted for Trump.

And your union published an article in the magazine your dues helped pay for in support of Hillary. Congrats on being two-faced.

You're right, but at least the NRA supports the things I believe in.....You can't say that for the Union can ya?.

I've lived without the NFL and NBA for nigh on 53 years now, I think I can handle a few more.

So he was off by a couple hrs!.........He meant to say 29hrs. He stands corrected..........

Wrong again. Staunch conservative and lifelong Republican.

Calling absolute total BS on this. I've sat in on many shoplifting interventions at Wal-Mart and that absolutely does not happen. They don't need to make 100% on the $7.97 worth of stuff your kid took. Policies and procedures don't even allow a scam like that.

They sure do, and they're pretty darned good too. You want one?

You buy from Amazon? Jeff Bezos is just as bad to work for, as the Waltons, if not a helluva lot worse. When you buy from Amazon, you crap down the backs of a lot of their employees. Maybe you can justify that..............

Threads like this crack me up.
We hear about Wal Mart shoppers then we discover those that are hate WM tend to be just a little different too.

Laffin

Boycott Beretta, Franchi, Merkel, AyA, etc, etc for like Toyota the profits go to another country. Union members surely exclusively only buy USA made firearms.

This post certainly signifies the average IQ level of 'The Fire' which seems to be slightly above my #12 boot size!

Boycot W'mart? ummmmm Nope!

Okay, enough's enough! You fellers went and did it now! I'm boycotting EVERYONE! You guyses too! Everyone in the world can GFY! I'll be back when I'm done pouting and stomping.......

This.

Size 12 says it all bds.

You lost me with this one. If there is a shoplifter, the have as much right to be protected by the law as any other store, or person. Then cop could be inside getting a bag of donuts, who knows.

I know a lot of people here have a hard on for Walmart, and them putting Mom and Pop out of business, but my take is a little different. Mom and Pop got old, and JR. put them out of business. People wanting to spend less for throw away junk instead of more for better quality, put them out of business. Lots of reasons that Mom and Pop went out of business and Walmart doing things more cost effective is one of them, but they have cracks in their Armor if one was willing to put up the money and find them. miles

If it wasn't walmart putting mom and pop out of business it would somebody else. The times changed and most folks don't want to spend there weekend driving to 10 stores to pick up 10 things.

I don't like the trend, but blaming McDonalds and Walmart for giving folks what they clearly want doesn't make sense.

Our local Walmart was my only source of powder until just recently when a gun store opened here.

I think Walmart is great. Keeps those people from shopping where I shop.....

L

You paid it to keep your kid from suffering consequences of his bad behavior. Way to go, superdad.

I'm still waiting for my profit sharing check.

Keep waiting, but I did get a $3,600 bonus at Christmas last year, The whole crew got something. let's see what they do this year. Plus I get $10 over scale and 50 bucks a day gas and tolls :-) I guess they can afford it!

You are a hard one, Walmart apologized for one employee's bias, and offered to make the cake, and you want to boycott? So as much as the left hates Walmart, all they need to do is plant one employee in a Walmart and have them shout "down with the pigs" and you want to boycott them?

Oh yes let's boycott Walmart and go buy guns and ammo at Sears or KMart....

Oops every other large general retail chain in the country caved to the gun grabbers decades ago and stopped selling all guns and ammo. That's right 100% cave in decades ago.

So instead of showing WM some appreciation for standing up to the leftist morons and carrying some guns and ammo many in the gun owner community complain that they choose not to carry AR type rifles.

IMO having a major retailer continue to carry a limited variety of guns and ammo is better than nothing.
