Default Wal-Mart

What if there was no Walmart? Would the world be a better or worse place?

dont know about wal-mart but here in the uk our dominant store is tesco and i think it has advantages for the consumer but is supposed to be giveing staff and farmers a bad deal, we also have wal-mart here in the form of ASDA but i dont shop there so cant comment but tesco is also world wide into places like china so there just as bad.

with or without wal-mart someone else would just do the same things under a different name

haha, I love tesco. Wal-mart is very helpful to the needy families and not as fortunate. Their prices are always lower. I don't think it would be a huge impact on society if they go out of buisness. McDonalds on the other hand.......

Ah, McDonalds. Its ironic how they give all this money to help children worldwide and yet their food contributes to heart attacks, cancer, and hot-dog fingers. Just thinking about it makes my veins clog.

Rent or buy a copy of the DVD, "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price"

Walmart is the epitome of a visious corporation feeding off their exploited personnel and the communities in which they locate stores.

I have over 30 years in Corporate Management (Controller/Treasurer) and know of few of my peers who admire Walmart. Quite the contrary, they are a blight on the corporate community.

I thought "What if" was the alternative to Off Topic. But if it's just for aviation imagination; then my bad. But think about it. I'm sure that most custom models have some of there parts coming from Walmart so I guess that this could still qualify as an appropriate topic. Truth be told I was just displaying this in a general sense.

Thanks to WalMart choosing to stay open for 24 hours during the month of December, the retailer I work for decided they too should be open 24 hours to compete with them ... thankfully only from Dec. 19th-24th. It created some really long/late/weird and exhausting work shifts. The only "good" part was a half decent paycheque.

I 100% disagree with any store needing to be open 24 hours any time of year! Give us f'ing retail employees a break, eh? Sheesh!
