Wal-Mart Sucks!

I think they do far more damage to a community than they do good. For example, they built Wal-marts in Pawhuska, OK, Bartlesville, OK, and Nowata, OK. Ran them for a few years during which they ran off many of the local merchants. Then they built a Super Center in Bartlesville and shut down the other two forcing the people to drive to Bartlesville to get what they could have gotten locally before Wal-Mart showed up. They have done this all over the nation. And the "jobs" they create are shitty minimum wage jobs that don't help anybody...........except Wal-Mart. What do you think?

I stopped going there because the stores suck and are generally dirty but the people employees and customers really make for the complete trailer-park experience.

People shop there b/c they have no concept of long-term economics. They see things in the immediate: paying less money for shit paper, than they do the long term ramifications--elimination of competition, fewer good paying jobs, or jobs with benefits, for that matter...it's a stupid, short sighted decision.

Kind of weird. I actually went to a Wal Mart last night with my neighbors who are from Bartlesville, OK.

They're like a company store in a mining town. Except now the town is America, and we're the ones being mined.

Alright, I'm sick and tired of this crap. Everybody whining about Wal-Mart. Everybody hates them because they are efficient and meet the consumer needs. Nobody at Wal-Mart makes minimum wage. Nobody at Wal-Mart makes less than 7.50 an hour. They now offer PART-TIME workers health insurance. Who else in the retail industry does that? What these individuals do is not worth 20 bucks an hour, they provide a reasonable service to retailer for a reasonable wage. How come people don't complain about the thousands of quickie marts, k-marts, other retailers, aldis, etc that actually pay their workers a measly six bucks an hour??? If Wal-Mart is so bad for the community, then the community would stop ****ing going there.

So if you buy a Sony 50'' LCD there it's going to be worse than the same one bought at another store?

They shop there because they have to. And they have to drive 20 miles to do it. Wal-Mart ran off the local merchants and then closed the local store forcing the drive to the Super Center. Why they aren't bumping up against the Justice Department is beyond me.

exactly.

It's the whole dissonance between viewing ones' self as a consumer and as a citizen. Too few people see how their decisions in one area affect the other.
