Walmart is already banned from opening stores in places like NY and LA precisely because they pay crap and end up sucking more money out of local areas then they add. They even got their start by investing in a computer and data ba
se that told them exactly which naive small towns they could suck the most money out of at any given time and, of course, they always tried to finagle special tax dispensations and whatnot from the local governments.
They're parasites by any definition of the word and when I load "percentage of walmart employees" into Google search it offers me a choice between "..on medicaid, on welfare, and on food stamps." Walmart advertises low prices without bothering to tell people it is all subsidized by the tax payer in the first place.Like (5)

Mgmt. hardly knows your name, let alone acknowledge you. Yes, we do work like slaves. In 2012 customers have become more rude and destructive to merchandise and the store. All combined, I am leaving to enjoy rest of my life. Next will be open on Christmas for the dollar. No way! I am a Christian and celebrate the Lord's birth. These corporations will reap what they sow.

donate to non profit organizations and get a break on taxes. Most of walmart employees are flat out rude so I don't sympathize with them very much. I know that they have no benefits or something of the sort, but I can purchases their products for pretty cheap and they at least give people jobs. If they hate it so much, they can work somewhere else is the way I figure it. oh, and I've seen employees from all sorts of work place treated like ****. It's just not walmart.
Wah wah, they treat me like ****. Then quit and go work somewhere else.Like (2)

It is because of Walmart and like stores that many people lost their jobs and had to apply there. Many small businesses have lost customers because of Walmart. What's more, it is not only the employees themselves that suffer, but their families.Like (1)

Walmart has found a better way to compete through improvement of their logistics and supply chain management. It's no different than when Ford came up with his assembly line really - it's just the evolution of retailing. Costco took Walmarts idea and took it a bit upscale and Target is going something similar. To hate Walmart is like a candlemaker cussing the light bulb.
Walmart pays their retail sales floor people more than fast food people pay their folks for what is very similar work - if unions weren't trying to get their talons into Walmart you'd never hear about their business practices. (Just about any story at any ***** mall has very similar salary structures to Walmart for their front line employees. It's an entry level job - it wasn't meant to be a career.)
As for the subject of using social betterment projects as a marketing tool by feeding the hungry instead of buying yet another ad on some mind-numbing situation comedy, I think that's great personally. Maybe some kids get to eat better tonight and the guy who plays the nerd on "Big Bang Theory" will have to get by with one less sports car.Like (1)

Big corparations and the like are typically hypocrites and bullsh*tters. They're probably only doing the 'help the hungry' thing because it will make the community like them and buy more of their stuff. It's profit driven. Don't believe they are actually being charitable for a second.
