Pleeeeeease don't shop at Walmart, they're the richest corporation in the world, take handouts from government to support their employees because they refuse to pay them enough to live on, fire anyone who attempts to unionise, use sweat shops and child labour in undeveloped countries...I know it's probably tempting to think that shopping there isn't part of the problem but it is - without the consumer there'd be no product.The_Brown_Fox said:Super Walmart

I apologise, I'm not trying to guilt trip or lecture you, I just believe that if most people were aware of the appalling work conditions and pay that allows them to sell products at such low prices, they might actually force Walmart to clean up its act.The_Brown_Fox said:I appreciate your response, but with all due respect, I'm not going to stop shopping there because of a guilt trip. Lecturing me about where I choose to shop isn't going to do much good.
Sometimes it's the only shopping option available. In my parents' city, they ONLY have a Walmart within 30 miles. The closest other grocery option (aside from the on base options that are not available to non-soldiers) other than Walmart is over 25 minutes away and is very over priced. They either have to shop Walmart or go without.Jupiter551 said:I apologise, I'm not trying to guilt trip or lecture you, I just believe that if most people were aware of the appalling work conditions and pay that allows them to sell products at such low prices, they might actually force Walmart to clean up its act.The_Brown_Fox said:I appreciate your response, but with all due respect, I'm not going to stop shopping there because of a guilt trip.

Yeah I know, because when a walmart opens in a town it shuts every other business down - they can't compete. Then it rehires everyone who worked at those stores for minimum wage.EasyBakeBabyOven said:Sometimes it's the only shopping option available.

In my grandpa's town, it is THE only store. He lives in an extremely small city, so unless he wants to drive an hour away to Target, he either has to be able to buy what he needs from the gas station that he owns or he has to suck it up and go to Walmart.

I get excited if I'm expecting something good, but not to the point of dancing.EasyBakeBabyOven said:Am I the only one who does a happy dance for the mail man? I know Blues Clues does one, but do other 'normal' people do one?

Agreed, I also saw somewhere that they put out death insurance policies on their employees. They even make money when their employees die. :evil:

Yeah they do, and often without even telling the dependents, who don't get anything. It's almost like slavery...if you die they're compensated for the loss of their property.
HiGirlsRHot said:Well pretty much all corporations have insurance policies on key employees. Walmart is hardly unique in doing so. If you are small company developing a new drug and the top scientist dies in car accident not only is his family devastated, but so is the company and its owners. An insurance policy will help cushion some of the loss. I don't understand what is wrong with this :?
