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.......

As long as Wal Mart is running, so will McDonalds....most Wal Marts have a McDonalds attached to them!!

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.

And what does this got to do with "Custom Creations"???

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!
