It isn't unionized and therefore doesn't support union officials. It
also provides goods to those who can't afford to buy the same thing at
Macy's for half again as much.

WalMart has the cheapest 40lb bags of black oil sunflower seeds in the

to point out that Wal-Mart's success is due to their years of volume
purchasing and their ability to offer lower prices. Evidently people
want to pay less for the things that they need. That's the whole point
of competition.

I'm not a big fan of a conglomerate like Wal-Mart either, but I'm not
about to cut off my nose to spite my face, and ignore the savings I
get by buying there.

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.

The rationale is that the Wal-Marts owners contribute heavily to
republicans........that is enough to make it 'evil' to moron krause and
company.

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

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.

Chuck, would you buy a Japanese car, or pickup? Seems like a lot of
folks complaining about offshore products drive Toyotas and use
Yamahas.

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...


BJ's at Wal-Mart?

Wow! What will they think of next?

Thanks for the link Chuck. It convinced me to go shopping at Walmart again
this afternoon. 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.

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.

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.
