Lotsa luck surrounding yourself with happy little elves and fairies. When I shop, I want to get in and out as quickly as possible. I don't go shopping in the hopes of making a new BFF in the employee lounge. It never occurred to me to consider going to Wal-Mart a social adventure.

Hilarious that someone who thinks green beans at Wal-Mart are dirty but will buy off Craig's List. How weird is that?


Gotta repeat this. It's too good to miss:
Stop being a fool. I live on planet earth, that's why. I walk in with others, that's why. It's like the f____g monster that has destroyed little businesses and practically the only f_____g store left in this f______g cowboy town, that's why. But oh yeah, you love that kind of thing. I forgot.

LOL! Well, maybe. You get the message - I hate Walmart and I sure hate illiterate, ignorant Republican towns.

What does Walmart have to do with right or left wing? Either shop there or somewhere else, depending on your preference.

Dude, go to your fridge and pull out that six-pack of Bud, it might help you deal with this better. You sure aren't dealing well with it right now.
what i hear is "i will fight the system whenever its fashionable to do so"

Well, you only hate them until you don't. Right? Or you shop there when you have to, but still hate them? Does that mean you really hate them, or only hate them sometimes?

Liberal logic sure is confusing.......

Around here, the typical walmart employee is exactly what you paid for...arguably the bottom of the barrell.

They can't help you, can't answer questions....the place is really my choice of last resort.

Costco on the other hand is a gem. They pay well though and it shows in the quality of their workers.

However, it looks like some of the problems being noted are more in line with staffing etc.

It's a company that squeezes every possible nickle out of their employees, their suppliers, the community....I wouldn't want to work for them in ANY capacity....I've heard bad things about thier corporate operations too.

Agreed.

I don't like the place but they are an inviting political target because they are a big corporation with lots of low paid employees. They'd get hit harder but the Clintons have ties to them and so they can't line em up in the cross-hairs like say Koch bros.

Nope. I already said it. I fight them where I can, and where I can't, I screw them some other way. However, you don't like me saying that. You'd prefer to find fault. So now it's your turn. Spew whatever you will, and I'll come back to correct you as always.
