It's all image & money like a Hollywood production. These companies are a disaster partly running on State money from the taxpayers that give them an advantage over the others. Townships give them free land, utilities, tax breaks, etc. and when it suits them they close doen and move out. |

| Dr_Kynes User ID: 4209135 11/19/2012 03:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I avoid walmart like the plague. I mean really......the poor dreggs of humanity that shop there because walmarts have taken all the jobs away. But Walmart provides value.......Oh yeah....american stores shut down because walmart comes in......then walmart gives those that go out of business jobs that pay 50% less than what they were making. I don't like walmart. I do shop there maybe 3-4 times a year but only if i can't find anyplace other to shop. But the thing I hate most about it, is no matter what time of day or night it is......they always manage to have long lines. Can't they at least make it easier to get in and out of that place faster ? I mean....2 AM and you still have to wait in line for 25 min because there is only 1 register open. (and you know good well that there are at least 20 other employees in the store....can't they operate a register ?) |

Quoting: Lars 992118 As close a business model as slavery. that's why the major business journals praise them & give them awards. There aren't any here, but this country has accepted the American work model and the workplaces have gone to hell. I call Wal-mart, F-Troop. [link to mnhopkins.blogspot.se] ![]() |

Yeah I've been known to leave my cart sitting and go at grocery stores where there's only one lane open at night and a line has formed. |
