This guy is upset because Walmart provides jobs for 2 million people and is very popular with lower income consumers? Why didn't he do something about it when he was in the Cabinet?
Watched local News going by and interviewig the people waiting . Most were young people and seemed to be having a good time ;like a campout. They even said that the store( wal-mart) had brought out food from deli for thewm to eat. I saw young people haivng a good time ;really.I wouldn't do it myself at my age but it looked like they were enjoying it.I suspect ifg there are problems it will be in the same old places as always.
Our local Wal Mart had some big crowds Thursady night.. All the shopping carts were in use, the parking lot was almost completely full except down by the garden center and TLE.
I've seen bigger crowds on Black Friday mornings so I'm not sure if they got extra business or just bled off sales they would have gotten from Black Friday. Friday morning it was steady business but not a mad house. I would definitely say that today will be a reasonably quiet day by Black Friday standards.
People were buying the cheap TVs, the computers, the gadgets.
Good article
Sadly nobody cares except the stock holders and the bottom 48 percent
Yes, this is very sad.... if the largest US employer's average wage for their associates is about $9/hr this has serious implications for us all. I truly believe that you build a strong economy through a strong middle-class. I've never thought about the concept that Walmart's cheap prices are really being extracted from the middle class in the form of low wages and lack of benefits.
He makes good points, but Walmart wouldn't have been open last night if hordes of people weren't lining up to shop there.
