I can't stand Walmart either. The stores are just down right nasty and they way they treat their employees is disturbing. They are over worked and underpaid. I would rather take a poke in the eye with a sharp stick then to chance the fact that I might be pushing a cart and have an onset of cart-rage and run into someone's child who has decided that running up and down the isles is entertainment while their parents shop. |

Is it EVIL?????
I can't believe I am going to say this, but here in Tejas where I live, and I imagine it is true elsewhere, it depends on how much money you have. Like many have expressed on this thread Walmart is the cheapest place to shop. And it helps a lot of people in that way. It is hard to be politically correct when you are hungry. I think another question is why in America are people going hungry?

--- i agree u have to balance it out with what is best for u and yours-
money and times are hard for most people most times. -- also many grocery stores don't hire full time cashiers-because it would cost to much and benefits. so walmart isnt the only one who has bad practices. --my main concern is accessability- many know at this time i use a cane or scooter. and sometimes i cannot take my own. lots of stores dont have handcicapped scooters for shopping. many keep them in such a bad state it is irksome to me. walmart and target are one of the few who really take care of their equipment and always ask me if they can help. raleys is another store i give good marks to. |

I shop at WalMart and Sams too. But I also shop at Target, Trader Joe's and Harris Teeter.
There are things at each of the stores that I can only get there. I don't think WalMart is evil. As far as I am concerned if anyone does not like a particular store for whatever reason then don't shop there. But on the flip side, please don't condemn those who do. |

I'm not sure about other areas, maybe you can let me know, but here in Danville, VA the Walmart has slowly been pulling back anything organic. For a while there you could pick through and find stuff. They even had a section. This has been slowly disappearing and I'm not buying the crap about the demand not being there. It's quite rare I go to walmart. I'm not going to say I never do and to be honesty I hate when I do. I most likely will make a stronger to commitment not going but just last month they closed yet another food store. If I want anything organic, which is 80% of my diet, I have to drive an hour or more. Thankfully I grow a lot but I cant grow everything. You wont get a phrase out of me when it comes to Walmart. If we didnt have a walmart we'd have more stores, more demand and in the long run more jobs and our local farmers would be busy too.

I have never been to a walmart
it kinda scares me... I don't know where one is near me...I think we don't have one here... I don't cross the bridge unless I'm going to someplace wonderful and/or natureful...walmart wouldn't qualify under either of those headings... I have been to target and can do without it... there are lots of little places around to get plastic things, and other things which the big box stores sell...an advantage of an eclectic big city like SF, I guess...and, if ya go at the right times there might even be parking !! I think that the premiss of a huge business taking terrible advantage of their workers, out sourcing as much manufacturing as possible, strong arming the manufactures, and being ruthless with competition has a component of evil in it...I Do Not think any of that sloughs off on the consumers...in this day and age, in Any Day and Age, the wallet is the driving factor of most regular folks...connivence is a factor, and personal choice is a factor as well...where and how and why someone shops is their business and if I have a personal or political reaction to a strangers' choice, then I can make my own economical choices to try and counter theirs... wow...who would have known I had so much yappy shit to say about this subject??....yikes.... |
