This was on my mind today, due to another thread called "walmart hates me" Well this is not funny, I really hate Walmart.
I'm a capitalist, not a snob, but I hate going there, it represents much of what is wrong with America. How does a bunch
of junk become better just because there's alot of it. I mean I won't buy socks there, as all the clothes are pretty much disposable.
The food is of questionable origen and freshness. The "value packs" are of quantities that only an overeater could love and
a stroll or should I say , trying to sqeeze through the aisles is dangerous as whole overfed foodstamp families may crush you.
On top of that they never have enough registers open and the few harried employees are unble to help. It is a giant stuffmart
made to satisfy a compulsion to have, more, more, more. And it all ends up in the trash. Anyone here love Walmart?
Then there is the fact that all the good local shops can't compeat and are gone. And the bathrooms are gross.

Can't argue with any of that. My friend calls it the evil empire.

My best friend is a VP of a company in Chicago. One of his workers worked for Walmart a few years ago.He told my buddy they import in the neighborhood of 800,000 shipping containers yearly from China. It was near $50 billion.Sickening when you think of all the lost jobs and money involved with that if those numbers are true.

And we lose the jobs, go on welfare, and can no longer afford to shop anywhere but Walmart. And it is garbage.

I one time though that I had been told that Walmart started as a Christian company and only sold American made products but after looking on the web I can not find any mention of these so called facts maybe they were bogus.

Been there, done that. On the plus side, that place is always cool in the Summer, and they put on a terrific light show every night.

No bahm, when they first opened one here by me in the early to mid 80s, most everything was made in America, all the advertising in the front windows said made in Americal with that usual blue union looking label you will find on union made, American products.....don't know when that all changed....but you would spend a day looking for anything made here in their stores now. ...i never shopped walmart, never will either.....i would skin and eat the neighbors first

the last ones tasted OK
