Do you hate wal-mart?

t-homo · 08-18-2010, 05:39 PM

Why or why not?

Homeslice · 08-18-2010, 05:41 PM

Yes, for 3 reasons:

1) tons of pallets and forklifts in my way all the time
2) stuff is stacked so high that you can't see where each of the different departments is
3) ugly, loud customers

I'm fine with it. When I need household products that's usually where I get em.

I don't care if people don't like walmart. Just don't try and change my shopping habits.

I haven't shopped at Walmart in probably 3-4 months and will get osmething from there if I need it and quality isn't a cocern of mine. I really admire Walmart's system but my biggest beef with Walmart is their eminent domain abuse.

I just can't seem to be able to check out of there. So, I don't go in.

Wal mart basically turned my hometown into a ghost town.

I only go because I can get the shell rotella synthetic oil there and cant find it anywhere else, otherwise I dont have much need to go there vs a target.

People block whole aisles to socialize and it takes forever to check out.

I get the occasional item there but I will shop somewhere more expensive just for a better and faster shopping experience.

Dislike.

I refuse to shop at Wal-Mart. I have two of them really close to my house that would provide very convenient and cheap shopping for me but I don’t agree with their policies and the way they run their business. I am a firm believer that my tax dollars pay for their cheap prices.

Taxpayers foot the bill for Walmart’s failure to provide adequate wages and benefits.

Walmart has thousands of associates who qualify for Medicaid and other publicly subsidized care, leaving taxpayers to foot the bill.

For instance, Walmart has the greatest number of associates and associate dependents on Medicaid in Ohio, costing taxpayers $44.8 million in 2009.

Over 41.4% of Walmart’s total workforce in Massachusetts used publicly subsidized health care, costing taxpayers $15.5 million in 2008.

Public assistance used by Walmart associates cost California an estimated $86 million a year, according to a 2004 study.

In 21 of 23 states where data is available, Walmart forces more employees to rely on taxpayer-funded health care than any other employer.
