What goes around comes around.

I boycotted them for coddling to illegal aliens, and haven't looked back. WalMart hates small business America, despite whatever "charity" they give out. That's just putting lipstick on the pig.

[FFIGHTER]

Capitalism sucks, doesn't it.

[Fractal Trader]

So why were there sales up 4.5 per cent in November? The facts don't seem to match up with the rhetoric.

[italianquaker]

sorry but if unions are against it, then its probably good for the consumer

[msnimje]

Americans punishing people and companies for achieving the American Dream.

It makes as much sense as Americans supporting Communists and terrorists.

[jveritas]

Tens of Millions of people shop at Wal-Mart every week and delusional AP cited the discontent of one woman and some totally insignificant poll to preach the demise of Walmart.

[Clemenza]

Ah, more populist retards. Did it ever occur to you that it is the UNIONS who are funding the attacks against Wal Mart because Wally World is smart enough not to hire those criminal retards?

Everytime a Wal Mart opens up, it becomes surrounded by strip malls FILLED with SMALL BUSINESSES! Wal Mart merely redefines the retail hub and ATTRACTS businesses.

[conservative physics]

yeah right, like millions of Americans are mad that walmart sells stuff cheap !


ROFL!

...


ROFL!

[jveritas]

Tell me again why should I go and buy something that costs me twice in a small business store than what it costs me a Wal-Mart?

*WALMART ALERT*..PINGING ALL WALMART WHINERS...ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping..

"WalMart hates small business America, despite whatever "charity" they give out. That's just putting lipstick on the pig."

That's funny, really. I've been in business for myself since 1974. I buy supplies for my business at WalMart. It saves me lots and lots of money. I buy other things at Sam's Club.

WalMart is a business. Its business model is to sell large quantities of merchandise at a good price. That model appears to work pretty well.

Yes, it's a bit hard on competitors, but the smart ones survive just fine. I don't notice that all the other stores in my area are closed. They all seem to be doing just fine. Some stores close, but they're generally run by stupid people who cannot find a niche to fit into. That's not Walmart's problem. Not at all.

People whine about Home Depot, too. Yet, about six blocks from my local Home Depot is an Ace hardware that has been there for years. They're doing just fine...by providing service to their customers. Home Depot doesn't do that. I haven't been in Home Depot for months. I just naturally stop at the Ace.

Nancy McShane: One less fat, dumb, zombie blocking the Twinkie aisle at Wal-Mart.

[FlingWingFlyer]

So let me get this straight. A bunch of knee-breaking, union thugs release "a poll" that says that Americans have an unfavorable opinion of Walmart and I'm supposed to believe that? Sorry. I don't do recreational drugs so, unlike the Ass. Press, I'm not buying it. Neither are the millions of Americans that everyday flood the Walmarts all over the world.

[Oztrich Boy]

Randy: You see boys, if we like our small-town charm more than the big corporate bullies, we all have to be willing to... pay a little bit more. Do you understand?

Gerald: Yeah! Let's all go shop at Jim's Drugs down the street! [the crowd approves and marches down the street]

[Jim's Drugs, later. He reopens for business and the crowd flocks to his store. Later, the small store is replaced by a larger two-story building, which in turn is replaced by a huge building reminiscent of the departed Wall*Mart, which in turn leads to Jim's Drugs' demise by fire]

Crowd: ...Oh Lord, Kumbaya.

Randy: All right, let's not make that mistake again.

Mr. Garrison: Yeah, lets all shop over at Tru-Value!

[Our man in washington]

What this country needs is a store that give workers great wages, health care, long vacations, great pensions, etc., but charges lower prices than Wal-Mart. That way, poor people can still buy the stuff.

It makes perfect sense to me. If they charge really low prices, then lots of people would shop there. That way, Wal-Mart would have a lot of money to pay those great wages.

Did I mention I just got my on-line degree in "Economics for Democrats?"

[Uncle Hal]

Some people just will not be happy until they bring down Wal Mart. The unions realize this chain is an excellent example of why we do not need unions. In the mean time their sales just keep going up and up, Keep it up Wal Mart.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

Right, we turned our back on Wal-Mart also. With the new Sam's Club here now, we dropped over a grand there the other day, and before the Christmas season is over will spend at least another $1,000.00.

If you want to frequent other businesses that carry the same items as Wal-Mart, but, at a much higher prices. Have at it, cut your nose off to spite your face.

[mlc9852]

I love Wal-Mart. A couple of years ago we finally got a Super Wal-Mart and there is talk of building two more in the county. I would love one closer to me. It is so convenient to have one-stop shopping and great prices. To all those who hate it, fine with me. Just means more parking spaces.

[domenad]

But at Springfield, McShane said she changed stores after her relatives, who also raise produce, complained Wal-Mart exerts too much pressure on suppliers to cut their prices.

"That's too much power for one company to have," she said.

Translation: "We can't compete, so we defame."

Wal Mart blows. The floor is dirty. The employees are disinterested and rude, the lines are horrendous. And I still shop there, because I save money. End of story.

[CWOJackson]

"WalMart hates small business America..."

I never cease to get a good chuckle from that line.

[Kokojmudd]

Reminds me to get to Walmart for groceries. Thanks for the post.
