Do you like Wal-Mart?

I hate myself.Nerd_Man

I was reading that thread in FAU, and I personally want to say to you that those guys are so stupid for giving you **** for working at Wal-mart. To people like me, who are desperately looking for a job, it seems like a miracle to land any employment. At end of day, at least you spent your time earning money than spending your time online.

When I was in the US it was like a different world in Wal-Mart. You can buy literally anything in there even guns which was a massive culture shock to me. I do like Wal-Mart it's the hub of all peoples needs.mikegtfc

My ex-girlfriend was from another country and she LOOOVED Walmart too. I hated going in there, which she didn't understand. I still hate going there, but the toiletries are so inexpensive...I can't beat the deals.

I am an employee at K-mart so I dont need to go to Wal-mart that often.

sometimes I go there...for the women.

Uh huh.

I avoid Wal-Mart like the plague. Even disregarding the unethical business practices, going there is almost always a miserable experience.

Not particularly. I hardly ever go there in the first place though.

Low prices at the cost of low wages and horrible healthcare for employees, sweatshops and taking money out of the community.

You don't like your wage and **** benifits, quit complaining and get another job, "oh, but i cant because.....blah blah blah" shut up.

Our walmart gives back to the community...

I work at Target, so I hate Wal-Mart.

Walmart is one of the most toxic things to ever happen to the American culture and economy. There's a high cost to low prices.

None of this stuff bothers me. I like Wal-mart. It's convenient. For the most part, it's convenient. My nearest Wal-mart is the size of the Pentagon. It's nice that there are so many products, but it takes forever to shop there due simply to all the walking.

K-Mart, Walmart, Target, Costco, Sams, and military exchanges all feel the same to me. I always have to wait my turn for something. They're all crowded, and they all have too many vacant cash registers. Nothing really separates one from the other except some are more crowded than others. That usually indicates lower and better prices than others.

I can't say I hate Walmart. Do I feel indifferent with a meh? Sure. But hate? Nope.

I see you've watched that documentary. I have too. The prices are nice, but it's unfortunate for the smaller business that are crushed in the process.

Wal-mart has excellent prices on a basic ammunition. :)

Yar I do. :)

Best Buy is 100x better than Wal-Mart in almost every way.

I will leave Penn and Teller to let ya know about Wal-Mart. Lot of truth to what they have to say.

Wal-Mart is plaguing society and it needs to be destroyed. Thats how much I hate it.

Does Best Buy sell more than electronics and home appliances now? I haven't been to a Best Buy in a while, so maybe they've changed. If they're like they were the last time I was there, Best Buy is definitely not 100x better than Wal-mart if I need to drop by and pick up a case of Sam Adams.

I go for toiletries and thats it.

I like it, no complaints from me besides always being packed, LOL.

Did ya watch all 4 parts?

Seriously though, you see stores that were already empty because no one shopped there previously even when a Mom & Pop store was in there. I shop many places for my needs be it Wal-Mart, Borders, Rural King (a line of stores in Indiana), Publix, Best Buy, Leroy's Liquor or Hodge's Army Navy store. I have no problem paying for a quality product (there are some things I will not buy at Wal-Mart) no matter what the store, but many people want to pay as little as possible.

I see people complain about no jobs, but Wal-Mart at least has jobs. If you want jobs, pay a bit more for a product that is made on shore instead of off shore. The biggest problem now is that the US has moved away from a manufacturing entity to a service entity. Everyone wants a white collar job, but no one wants to make the stuff the US uses or needs so manufacturers move the jobs to where labor is cheaper.

People who say the government needs to do more need to create jobs should look in the mirror to see why we are in the shape we are now. Wal-Mart survives because of how cheap people are.

Being a college student, I most certainly do.

No. Best Buy is nothing like Wal-Mart, so I'm not really sure why wombat used it for comparison. Best Buy is still an electronics store, like Circuit City used to be. K-Mart and Target are better comparisons.

The nearest Walmart is a few cities away from where I live, so I don't go there unless I'm in dire need to go. I do Target instead when I need it, which is in my city though I tend to prefer hole in the wall places and mom & pop stores over big corporate chains

I don't get why people think that baggers and cashiers should be making 35k/yr with health benefits. Those aren't meant to be careers, just entry level jobs. I prefer low prices to overpaid unskilled workers.UT_Wrestler
