Given Wal-Mart's liberal return policy,
Sorry, but there ain't one darn thing "liberal" about WalMart. http://www.wffhome.com/ Among this redneck, reactionary, group's claims to fame is funding the "Evergreen Freedom Foundation" in my home state. They support some shamefully selfish and destructive philosophies. The current social contribution of WalMart proper is to insist that all of its suppliers manufacture everything offshore. To hell with the long term economic health of the country, as long as the "right" folks can make as much money as possible in the short term. Treason doesn't have to be political, it can be economic as well. Like most urban residents, I take specific pride in *never* purchasing anything from WalMart. I'll pay 20% more to do business with a company that has a conscience. |

Add to that the fact that they are non union and have resisted all attempts by the unions to force them to unionize. |

I'll pay 20% more to do business with a company that has a conscience. On most items I'd care to buy, Wal-Mart's prices are about the same as everyone else's. Couple of weeks ago, I took a flyer of Wal-Mart's to my unionized grocery store, and found, that for the items I was buying at the grocery, Wal-Mart had the same price for most items, was a little higher on some and a little lower on others. These were not food items...I would not buy any food items from a retail operation as dirty and sloppy as Wal-Mart. |

BJ's at Wal-Mart? Wow! What will they think of next? Eisboch |

Bought: 6 Mann's Stretch 25+ lures @ $6.48 ea. (They were $11.95 at the local tackle shop.) I also bought a DVD/VCR 20" combo for $219, a toaster oven for $10, and a microwave for $38. If I were as principledas you, I'd have spent an extra $150 to buy the same exact things elsewhere. Instead, I'm going to spend the $150 to take my wife and her Aunt and Uncle out to dinner this evening. |

With that result alone, it would be worth considering, since Wal-Mart does more damage to the United States than all the Moslem terrorists put together. I just bought my wife a notebook computer from Walmart for $648. For another $40, I got a 3 year extended warranty. It has a1.2 GHz AMD Athlon 4 processor, 256k RAM, DVD/CD/RW, 40 gig HD, and built-in Wi-Fi. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=3202221 She got it primarily to wirelessly surf the web, download music to burn to a CD, and to do light word-processing work. It's a nice little notebook. The only negatives are that the fan seems a bit louder than on my Compaq, and the battery life is about 50% less (I have a Centrino processor). Given Wal-Mart's liberal return policy, and the fact that a 3-year extended warranty is only $40, I figured that I can't go wrong should the thing crap out in a year or two. A no-name's no name? No thanks. Someday, hopefully soon, the Wal-Marts near you will open Wal-Mart dental clinics, with sorta-licensed dentists from, oh, Thailand, who do exactly what you do, but not as well, for one-tenth the price, and toss in a BJ and massage... Not a chance. That's the beauty in belonging to a self-regulated profession. The Dental Board will always see to it that a Florida Dental license is a scarcity. You'd have an easier time unionizing your local Wal-Mart than getting quasi-licensed Thai dentists working at Wal-Marts in Florida. Regardless, I have never had a patient transfer to a clinic-style dental office because of their PPO without switching back to me after one trip to the clinic. I don't belong to any plans, and I don't accept assignment of benefit. I *do* see that every patient is seen within 5 minutes of their scheduled time, and I only use the newest technology, and the highest quality materials and labs. I don't offer a BJ and massage, so I guess that could be one area where I'd be vulnerable. Perhaps if Wal-Mart starts offering those services, then you could get a job there. |

Just last week NOYB was complaining about 'denturists' fitting and making false teeth in Canada. I should seek out some of the local guys and tell them about the opportunities in sunny Florida. I bet a lot of the retirees would love to get a set of chompers at half NOYB's price. |
