Why do so many people hate walmart?

Why do so many people hate walmart? There isnt anything walmart is doing that a smart business person wouldnt do. Without a walmart in a small town,stuff is higher in cost to buy. If a small town has a walmart then all the money you saved could be spend on local business's. I think the benefits of a walmart far outweigh the negatives. The walmart sweatshops overseas pay higher and are better work conditions then the alternatives they have.

i like them :P

Is that the mall that also sells weapons?

I personally love Walmart. I go there once every other week. I can't wait to go next week so I can replenish my food supply.:P

I have nothing againstv Walmart.

It's probably my best option for buying stuff around my college campus.

That statement is 100% false

the freaks come out at night and go to walmart just look at the pictures on peopleofwalmart.com

i never went to walmart:|

Don't hate Walmart, but I perfer to do my shopping at Target. The stores are cleaner and more organised, and it's a lot less crowded.

Walmart buys heavily from what is essentially slave labor done in third world countries. However most big business are guilty of this. Walmart purposely makes their employees work less than 40 hours so they don't have to provide any benefits like health insurance. If that wasn't low enough, they actually took out LIFE INSURANCE policies on their employees with the corporation as the beneficiary. Their practices are highly amoral and in need of some serious regulation. Not to mention they drive small businesses out of business as the small businesses cannot compete.

I don't hate wal-mart. But I sometimes hate shopping at wal-mart. It's often crowded, and you always have long lines to check-out and people buying food, toys, clothes, etc. It takes a long time.

I like to shop at regular grocery stores because it's usually a more pleasant experience. More quiet, not crowded, and you can usually check out quick. It's just better. But I have nothing against wal-mart. I go there for some things.

i would have to disagree with that statement because the better alternative to what they have now would be for Wal-Mart to keep the jobs in the US and pay the price american labor demands.

What about the rest of what I wrote? The fact that a company would not only deny people from working 40 hours so they can skimp out on benefits when the corporation is so profitable, but they actually take out life insurance policies on their workers is simply atrocious. They are in need of some serious regulation. Also those sweatshops that walmart gets its goods from don't exactly produce all that safe goods.

Doesn't change the fact that people in those sweat shops work for terrible wages, practically in wage slavery because the coporation is likely also the only source of food and shelter. That aside, what about my other points? Not to mention the ability to die on the job due to the long working hours and poor sanitation and food quality they would have to face. Lets also not forget about possible dangers at work too.

I get a walmart gift card and use it on their site. Way different experience.

This really can be summed up for any major corporation that has much of its producing facilities across seas..

killing american jobs by buying everything from china and mexico for pennies and selling them in the US at prices honest people can't compete with have you seen a town that walmart has killed before?lamprey263

Your sig is complete win, sir, I had the most enjoyable facepalm of my life whenI read the bottom left one. Totally agree with what you said, too. And to what TC said about local business owners having more money, what happens when there are no small business owners left because corporations like Wal-Mart have cornered every market? Personally, I don't mind paying a bit more for my goods if it preserves the institution of small business ownership, I thought that was what America was supposed to be about. The problem with Wal-Mart is that it strangles small businesses, so instead of people owning their own business they have to work for **** wages and no benefits at places like Wal-Mart.

I like Walmart :)

I love 24 hours Walmart 8)

I don't agree with how they treat their employees though...

I hate Asda, which is pretty much the same, because all their stuff is cheap, manufactured by low wage workers. And its full of chavs

Mostly because of unethical business practices. They also treat they're employees like crap.
