You're Fired: 3 Reasons the Walmart Empire Is Collapsing
Like every empire to come before it, Walmart (WMT) is beginning to rot from the inside out. It may appear to be rolling but under the surface the Walmart empire is in rapid decline.

Here are three of the dozens of headwinds the company is facing:

This is what happens when a privately held company goes corporate. Wal-Mart was doing well until Sam Walton died. Then his money grubbing family from Bentonville, Arkansas took over & screwed the pooch. SAMs Club & Wal-Mart is total bullshit.

I hope they crash hard. Totally overblown company. Their products are cheap bullshit. They lost the principles upon which they were built. I'd much rather spend a few extra bucks & either shop at a local place, the farmer's market or even Whole Foods.

No you wouldn't- you're lying... That's why WalMart works.. You will still "Creep" in there because you can't stand not going there. Whole foods my ass- we know where you'll be spending that dollar- you just won't admit it!!!

I said it about McDonalds and WalMart both. I don't go to either. We buy most of our groceries from a local-ish store. They have 30 or so stores but all in this area. We buy veggies/produce from a couple farmers that live a couple miles down the road.

We still eat shit food from time to time, but haven't been to a mcdonalds in over a year. Some people do stick to it when they boycott a company. Not all I know...but some do.

Oh please, get real, your taste buds aren't that refined and you probably don't know anyone that works at a McDonalds on a first name basis so how would you even know if they were "shit" or not?

You can speak for yourself. You can't speak for me. I'm a grown adult & have no need to lie. I do shop at Whole Foods ~ I prefer buying my meats, fruits, vegetables & a few other items there.

IF I needed to go buy some cheap shit I'd go to Target maybe. Not Wal-Mart. I was involved with a business that did business for SAMs Club awhile back ~ like 9 years ago & got a good inside view as to how their business practices are. They are not worth a shit.

I vote with my $$ ~ and spend it carefully. That doesn't mean I would compromise my values to save a buck.

Who is "we" btw? Have some sort of mental issues?

I remember back when Sal Walton was running things they had a generic brand of peanut butter cups that was really good.

It does stink there, 300 lb women with body cheese. and men with alcohol breath and a host of other bodily odors..

I have to shop at a new Safeway or Sprouts to get that image out of my head.

Why arent these people smarter?

I went to Safeway to stock up for a trip, they had sale prices cheaper than wallyworld.

"“Wal-Mart should settle some of the social issues they have to deal with first before they come to our city and throw money around like sewer covers,” Menino told the Herald yesterday. “Wal-Mart has not approached me about making a donation. Boston’s business community has stepped up to provide summer jobs for our youth.”

Re: You're Fired: 3 Reasons the Walmart Empire Is Collapsing
I avoid WalMart too, and give my business to the Fred Meyer right next door. It's the same type of store but much higher class.
None of "those types" of people there.

freaks

But Fred Meyer closes at 10pm; the WalMart is 24hrs.
So I've been to WalMart a few times and saw all the circus freaks, homeless bums, and meth-heads. And you know what? The prices are roughly the same.
So those who shop at WalMart for low prices are kidding themselves.

We have reduced our monthly Walmart purchases from about $400.00 down to about $120.00

Other stores can have the lions share of my grocery and clothing money.

Walmart rotting?

Give me a break.

.Gov and Walmart are joined at the hip. In the event of a national emergency, Walmarts across the nation will be the defacto distribution point.

Walmart is a cog in the control mechanism.

You know what is going to bring Wal-Mart down? Their trailer park trash, obese, smelly, minimum wage employees.

I swear the requirements for working there must be:

1) Live in a trailer park
2) 100 pounds over weight
3) Severe allergic reaction to soap and water
