WALLY WORLD Employment Application

[Caduceus]

There was a MSN special on WalMart a few weeks ago which was interesting. WM (amongst other vendors, pharmaceutical companies, etc) rake in the dough. When Sam Walton was still alive, many of the products were made in the US. Since his departure (and death) they have started stocking "cheaper" imported goods. This of course is good for the bottom line and in fact they are expanding into different countries at an alarming rate. I don't know where I'm going with this message aside from the fact that consumers in the US like being able to stop one place, getting a DVD, buying dinner and getting detergent. I'm not sure what can be done to reverse the invasion of WalMart into small-town economies nationwide. Even in the small town in which we live, we have a WalMart. County population in 30 000. City population, 3000.

I also watched the Frontline episode, which the MSN special based its report on, "Is Wal-Mart Bad For America" and I would have to say yes yes it is.

Vermont, if memory serves, has been able to hold wal amrt largely at bay by requiring it to only open new stores in existings buildings to "Preserve Historical Integrity".

Then in parts of northern california, people have been voting down wal mart supercenters for years despite the company's best efforts.

I know where I live, walMart is buy up swaths of land in walking distance from my house is preparation to build a supercenter and then a distribution facility nearby.

What bugs me a lot about Wal Mart is the number of people that complain about it..then continue to shop there.

Hello? Have some @%! principles, please? Its not that much more expensive elsewhere.

Well you cannot always shop where you want. In my case WalMart had what I needed and none of the other stores did. I will complain about what ever I want, and still shop there because if I do not shop there, then I will have nothing to complain about..... Speaking of complaining, any one here own a Ford?

lmfao... did you write that up yourself or get it somewhere?
Any objections to me sending it to friends and wal-mart employees the world over?

[Atrocities]

I borrowed it from the Red Neck Drivers License one and added a few things to it. Send it along to anyone you want. Besure to let them know that WalMart is not the end of their lives, its the beginning of new slave wage lives.

I dont shop there because they carried censored albums, they dont carry certain computer games, and its grungy
