Well, since I'm a young male American, Wal-Marts the funnest place in the world to fuck around in, and to mess with people in. If you work at Wal-Mart, what would you expect to happen? Maybe they shouldn't work for the worst thing to come out of any state, considering the fact it spread faster than AIDS or Genital Herpes.
Walmart. The worst place on Earth. [Not considering Disneyland.]

I never shop at walmart for electronics, except for my TV (they had Vizios, my Best Buy did not). They built a walmart in the suburb i work in. Its across the street from where I work. Ever since its been there, all the white trash and rednecks i didnt know existed here have come out of the woodwork.theironbat46 said:
The two biggest problems with every Wal-Mart I've visited is that their employees are generally unsuited to their departments and upper management always seems to have issues. Then again, what do you expect from a store that hires out the juvenile and pays them just above minimum wage? People don't go to Wal-Mart for service, they go there for cheap items and bargain deals.
Though I don't agree that every store has crappy service, that's all based on environment and personalities. If a customer is growling and snapping at an employee, whatever customer that happens by after them is probably going to receive backlash and so on and so forth in a never ending figure eight.
On the flipside, let's talk about the customers of Wal-Mart, or customers in general. Anyone who's worked in the service industry knows there are those bad apples. The people who complain and grouse and think you're incompetent and that they know how to do your job better on any given day. Even without those ones, there are the scammers, the thieves, the punks skateboarding through the isles and knocking crap down.
So if a store is crap, it's not just the employees, it's the customers who shop there that help make it crap.
On a side note: every Wal-mart has a McDonalds because the two franchises have a partnership. Sort of a symbiotic relationship. Wal-Mart gets a set percentage of the money any McDonalds on their property makes on top of the rent McD has to pay for having a restaurant in their store while McD obviously gets to sell to more customers.

I fucking hate wal-mart...
There is something wrong when a store can turn day into night in about 5 minutes...

I live in a gated community, we are surrounded by woods, hunters are everywhere, we had a Lowes next to us so they came and went, then they built a Walmart next to it. People from the ghetto and redneckistan treat that place like holy ground.CORRODED SIN said:
Wal-Mart's Business Strategy:irishdelinquent said:Am I the only one who doesn't understand Wal-Mart hatred? I don't understand why a single store has so much animosity directed towards it. Yes, there is evidence of them mistreating their employees, but that's not what seems to be the issue.
Also, Wal-Mart being out of stock of certain items, especially high-selling ones like Modern Warfare 2, is no reason to hate them...Best Buy was arbuably just as likely to have been sold out of it.
Oh well, I'm a Canadian...anything that gets us out of the frigid cold ca't be too bad
They open in an area near low-income housing. For the first month to a year, they sell things for marginally less i;e a dollar or so for lower priced items, while most things stay the same. While the people that don't know any better, or take the time to figure it out, just take Wal-Marts word that it's cheaper. Wal-Mart also has a history of mistreating employees, hiring illegals, and buying products from Third-World countries and things known to be hazardous. In fact, at the nearby Wal-Mart, they were still selling toys with lead-based paint up until a year ago. As the local business get run or bought out by Wal-Mart, Wal-Mart heightens prices until they're only a few cents off something of a higher quality from any other nearby store. People blame it on the economy and inflation, and eventually the low-income housing areas are bought out, and a second Wal-Mart, or Wal-Mart owned building is put up. Sometimes Wal-Mart will even offer alternative housing, conveniently located near the closest Super Wal-Mart.
Voila, the American Economy at it's best. Doing what it was designed to do, screw over the poor masses, and to get the rich rich enough to start over the old way of American living where one company would rule over an entire industry. Just like the old railroads companies, except for an ignorant majority that have no idea what's going on.

Have you ever BEEN to Disneyland? They have maybe a few things involving Hannah Montana and most of that is in it's bastard offspring child California Adventure. In the actual Disneyland park it's very nice and atmospheric and the food is decently priced and highly edible. The rides are very nice, though definitely nice hardcore and it has that nice quality of actually being a THEME park, as in having a THEME, several in fact. Which all stay in tact. Not like Six Flags which has the theme of "Here are a bunch of roller coasters and shitty overpriced churros have fun". I love Disneyland personally, and I am not ashamed at all to admit it. I have more fun there then anywhere else in the world. The workers, though surely dying inside, give a feeling of some joy no matter how artificial. The costumes are loveable. Really all the unlikeable stuff happens behind the scenes, and what I pretend I don't know can't hurt me. I'm not going to boycott my own happiness because of corrupt business. If I did that I'd be dead by now by never buying a house, a bed, clothes or food, because business is corrupt everywhere you look.theironbat46 said:
Hey!!!!!!!!
I used to work there and let me tell you... is it horrible place, YES! But only becuase of the crap it's employee's must go through. I've seen employees comlpained on by shoppers becuase they were speaking spanish, hours being cut, overtime not being paid, not enough workers... (Ever go into a walmart with 30 registers and only 5 people working them)
But on the plus we used to prank call the intercom, play in the toy isle, throw balls across the store, have food fights, let lobsters out, put up fake signs...in other words
Hate to work there, love to play there (when I was younger) but every now and then I get the urge to let old times come out for a little fun when ever I walk in a walmart.

You know that something is wrong when the furries are the least of the train-wreck that is pictured here. Honestly, I've never been to a Wal-Mart, and some of the I-hate-Wal-Mart sentiments may be over the top, but there has to be some validity to those claims if this is the kind of clientele that the company attracts.
