JoshK Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 The funny thing is the dumb wal-mart shopping white-trashians don't realize that you can get cheap ass DVD players anywhere now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And where else can I stuff McDumbalds fries into my kids face to shut them up while I get my cheap tuppers, pray tell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Did you see the article on the paper about how the cost cutters at WalMart are putting so much pressure on their contract manufacturers to cut costs that they can't compete any more in such "high cost" places as Honduras and Bangladesh? All the business is now going to Viet Nam and China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willstrickland Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Wal Mart is a plague on society. Their staff is underpaid with terrible benefits, all so we can save $0.49 on a $20 item, then go buy a venti half-caff skinny low foam latte for $4. They have a vicious union busting crew, and have closed a least one store where it looked like their union busting wasn't going to work and the workers would organize. Why should we care? Because while you save $0.49, and the Walton family gets rich, the under-compensated Wallyworld work force is sucking the public tit for health and social services that YOU are paying for. Save a dollar while shopping, cough up two in taxes. The only winners are the WalMart stakeholders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you shop at stores like that you continualy have to replace items. wich forces people to continue to shop for crappy horrible produts. It is a viscios cycle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthumbs Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Yeah, I finally had a bellyfull of WalMart's shit when I realized that their CD's are edited for content. As far as Strickland's feel good thoughts go, personally I could give a shit who gets rich or who stands in the soup line. It's all about ME.
