12/02/2007 | Depending on what you need, Wal-Mart may or may not be the place to go. I have worked there for just over a year as a electronics associate and can definately say that its not the place to go for everything. However, they do have good merchandise for affordable prices as long as you know something about what you are wanting before you go there, as a majority of the associates aren't very dedicated to their job and don't know much about what they are selling.

06/15/2007 | OK, they have many faults but is hard to find and alternative to what they sell at the price, but this made in the USA crap they once advertised is now totally bogus.

06/14/2007 | I never went to Walmart until I moved to Colorado. Walmart seems to thrive in areas that are already economically depressed. More blame for the the plight of small cities and towns should be put on factory farms and obsolete industry. The city I live in was crappy before Walmart got here due to the downsizing of the steel mill. A lot of people here live on welfare and food stamps and they just want the lowest price. I do feel a corporation with such power should be more willing to improve the communities they do business in. I never once saw a Walmart in Seattle or Rhode Island for one they are ugly and people with money usually don't buy crappy Chinese bric-a-brac.

06/14/2007 | To many people shop there to successfully pull it off.

06/14/2007 | Looks like I might be the only person here who can make this claim but I've never been inside one in my life. That's neither a political nor an economic statement, however. I've just never had the need. I hear they don't treat their employees very well and I know they're non-union, but they obviuosly aren't the only employers like that.

06/14/2007 | I won't lie and say I haven't been in there, I've been there a few times...Obviously, everyone would like to pay the lowest cost, but I find their business practices simply deplorable, and the way they treat their employees is like something out of "Oliver Twist."
Ever pick up Sam Walton's biography and thumb through it? It's good for a laugh unless you're either completely stupid or a high ranking Wal-Mart executive. Of course, the guy was a smart businessman, but from all of the adulation in the book you'd think that Sam Walton parted the Red Sea, or brought down fire from Olympus...
I wonder if 'mikeholly' ever read that book?

06/14/2007 | If we boycotted every place we didn't like, there'd be nowhere to shop, eat, or do business in general.

06/13/2007 | I hate boycotts. I chose not to shop at Wal-Mart, but I understand those who shop there.

06/13/2007 | So Wal-Mart has some not so wonderful practices. But to be honest, I hate shopping, I don't make a lot of money, and I hate paying more money for something I can buy for less somewhere else. Wal-Mart has just about everything, so I don't have to waste time going to other stores, and they're cheap. Right or wrong, I'm going to shop there.

06/12/2007 | Personally, I don't and won't shop at Walmart, for a whole host of reasons, starting with the fact that they carry cheap crap.
It never ceases to amaze me, however, that many people who decry the decline of small-town America are among the most loyal patrons of this octopus, which has considerable responsibility for said decline.
