That is the only complaint that you have heard about walmart? Now, I
gotta issue a horse pucky alert!

Check out some of these non-union issues:

Trust me, in the 22 states with right-to-work laws, walmart sucks
just
as bad as they do elsewhere.



Oh my gosh! A purely non biased organization whose sole function is
to
keep an eye on Wal Mart? Wow, I wonder who funds it.


The exact same information has also been in the newspaper your wife
reads,
and then places under your easy chair to catch the mess.


Now why would you resort to personal attacks?

Probably for the same reason you do. When the soap opera pauses for a
commercial, think about it.


I suppose if I felt backed into a corner I may do the same.


Your refusal to take any conversation seriously is insulting, and
therefore,
a personal attack on anyone else in a discussion.


I gave your comments the attention they deserved.


.....which earned you the response you WANTED.

You're correct. Even Harry sometimes gets one right.

That's everything to someone like Herring. He's one of five remaining
voters who still supports Bush's war against Iraq.


Harrie, you are just too cool for words.

Thanks again for your contribution.

You people are pointing your fingers at the wrong culprit. Wal-Mart is
popular and successful because they carry what people want at prices that
people want to pay.

So, who's at fault?


Excellent point and a related argument.

People favoring walmart do so only with a selfish respect for their
own pocketbook.... never considering what is best for the American
Worker, the American Consumer, and the American Economy.


Gene,

Most economist would tell you that the selfish respect for their own
pocketbook is actually the best thing for the American Worker, the
American Consumer and the American Economy.

More proof that liberals hate the poor.


I have to disagree with you on this matter, Gene is recommending what he
believes to be the best thing for the poor and our economy, it just
doesn't match up with most economist would tell you.

GALLUP NEWS SERVICE

PRINCETON, NJ -- The latest Gallup panel survey finds the public bracing
for continued rising gas prices this summer. A majority of poll
respondents expect gas prices to reach the $4.00 per gallon level in their
local area this summer, though only a small minority expects it to reach
the $5.00 mark.



The *opinion* of those poll respondents on future gasoline prices is
absolutely meaningless.

Would you agree that the 3 entities below have created public
impressions that are hard to change?

1) Wal Mart
2) Used car dealers
3) Law firms

Wal Mart has more customers than any business in the world.

Used car dealers don't make any money unless they attract customers
either.

Lawyers are the primary contributors to Democrats.


You're not much of a dancer.

No, I demonstrated that you have contempt for success and
supplication
for the John Edwardses of the world.

You demonstrated that once again, you've danced around someone's
question because to answer it honestly, you'd step in quicksand.

Your question was an AVOIDANCE NON-ANSWER TO TO QUESTIONS I POSED.


No it was not. The point was that every business creates its image, or as
Harry pointed out, earns it, for better or worse. The 3 in the list are
perfect examples. Wal Mart's got a miserable reputation with as many
people
as those who love the place. Used car dealers are seen as snakes, much
the
same as lawyers. You are fully aware of all this.

The major oil companies are no different. They offer us bull****
explanations for the price swings. If you kids gave you similar answers,
there would be consequences, assuming you were a competent parent.



Horse pucky. Wal Mart has been a target of the liberals, like Harry and
the
major media, because it won't unionize.


I don't give a damn about their union situation. I'm talking about the
customer experience, and the fact they they lie about their prices, and
that "made in America" charade.



I have never had a problem with their pricing and purchase from them quite
regularly.

I never have a problem with wal-mart, either. I simply never shop there,
and I hold my nose when I drive by a stooperstore of theirs in another
county...all those badly handled perishable groceries and the crappy
fast food they fry permeates the local atmosphere there.

Ours does not sell perishable groceries and we purchase all of ours through
a locally owned grocery store or neighborhood stands (veggies) during the
summer. No fast food at ours either. The employees are not in handcuffs
at their workstations and are normally cordial and happy.

If you never shop at your local Wal-Mart how do you know the perishables are
'poor handled' and that the fast food is 'crappy'?

I am not trying to start an argument with you but you are obviously against
them because the employees who work at their stores do not want to unionize.

BTW: My son is a union employee working part time at the local grocery
store we shop at. ;-)
