There's my criticism of Wal-Mart - that they will never stock "Parental Advisory" albums in favor of the censored "clean" versions. So I don't buy CDs at Wal-Mart. But if I'm on the road and I need cheap paper towels, what am I supposed to do?



Lumpmonger, shut the fuck up. If there was one being that could do with having its hands removed and mouth glued shut, it would be you. I say "being" because I'm not entirely sure that you are human, and you are not exactly ape. Maybe you're Sasquatch.

Watch the damn video. It contains actual facts, not the one-sided propaganda that the guy who made Xanadu tried to shove down your throats.

I refuse to step anywhere near the local Walmart and Sam's Club stores because they are dirty filthy dives with shitty service. It's a great place for a job, if you are an illegal immigrant. I'll stick to my locally owned and run super markets thank you. If I had to choose, Costco is by far a better national chain over Wal Mart.

Gang, we need to chill. This is about Wal-Mart and corp. America, not our personal feelings towards each other. Obviously there will always be conflicting opinions, but lets not get mean about it and assault each other.
My experiences w/ WM are based on what I see, what I have read and my knowledge of retail from a worker's point of view. I also have several cases in CT. against them and their labor practices to draw from. They may be a huge employer and in big cities, they don't really cause an ill, long term effect. In small suburban ares, they stomp the little guy.
I have my right to shop there or not and try not to as often as possible. I think if you are going to be the largest single employer in the world, you should have some sort of social responsibility and donating a mere pittance of your corp. profits is not enough. Taking care of those who help you make that money, is.

After getting laid off from my job of 24 years I had to take an overnight gig at the new Walmart that opened nearby. My unemployment extension was just about up and with at least a hundred applications and no response from anyone I had to grab it. It pays about half of what I was making but it's money.

It sucks. The managers are all self-righteous assholes. I would love to leave but I've never quit a job (unless I've had something else lined up) and I don't intend to start now. My 90 day probation period is not too far away and I'm hoping they let me go. The store is not doing as well as they hoped so it could happen.

Still sending out applications and still no bites. Fuck.

Only if the store manager decides she wants to do an overnighter with us. Then we have to do the cheer and the stretches. Luckily she doesn't do it often.

It's so fucking stupid.

Over the past three years, Chinese authorities have fined Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT +0.94% $9.8 million, sanctioning the retailer for using misleading pricing, selling poor-quality products and even peddling donkey meat that turned out to be fox.

Great news IMO.

Besides being one of China's main buyers of goods , thus enabling the acceleration of China's economic machine and threatening the USD as the ' world ' currency , Sam Walton is spinning in his grave looking at how his company sold it's soul to peddle shitty merchandise to gullible populations around the world.

Unfortunately , this corporate giant does provide people with a living. Not a very good one but it might beat the alternative.

Three Florida Walmart employees who detained man shoplifting DVDs charged with manslaughter after he dies

Three employees at a Florida Walmart have been arrested in connection with the death of a shoplifter.

Nathan Higgins, 35, Crucelis Nunez, 23, and Randall Tomko, 58, were each charged with manslaughter in the death of Kenneth Wisham, 64, after he tried to leave the store with a shopping cart filled with nearly $400 worth of DVDs, police said.

"If you are shoplifting there is a result that you have to pay, it should not result in losing your life," police spokesman Sgt. Gary Gross told ABC station WFTS-TV.

On Feb. 7, employees attempted to stop Wisham from exiting the Lakeland store after he tripped the security alarm, according to the police report.

When employees asked to see his receipt, Wisham patted his pants pretending to look for one. After Wisham could not produce a receipt, he left the shopping cart and fled outside.

Tomko and Nunez chased Wisham until he fell to the ground, the report said. Tomko told police he never touched Wisham and that after he fell, he noticed he'd stopped breathing and had another employee call 911.

But Nunez said Tomko and Higgins jumped on top of Wisham after she "slightly pushed" him, the report said. Tomko lunged on top of his upper body while Higgins restrained his legs.

Wisham struggled underneath the two employees and yelled, "Get off of me. I didn't do anything."

When police arrived, the employee who called 911 was performing chest compressions on Wisham.

Wisham died from suffocation after he was forced into a position where he could not breathe, Bay News 9 reported.

An autopsy revealed he had 15 broken ribs.

Police probably would have done the same thing. If he left the cart, then why were Wal-Mart employees even chasing him? They should have been putting those dvds back on the shelf. They may have lost a sale over that.

"Everything dies baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back"

I wonder whether the chest compressions resulted in any of the 15 broken ribs.

Either way, the store employees would be in trouble. Store policy is to not have employees chase after thieves. The store would discipline them for that.

Walmart is selling deep-fried Twinkies



Forget the county fair: Walmart is now selling deep-fried Twinkies.

Walmart started selling the prepackaged, frozen Hostess products on Thursday at some of its stores, and it plans to roll them out nationwide by Aug. 16, according to a Walmart spokesman.

The deep-fried Twinkies come in two flavors: original golden and chocolate. There are seven deep-fried cakes in a box.

John Pearson, senior buyer for frozen foods for Walmart U.S., wrote in a corporate blog how his company had co-designed the deep fried Twinkies with Hostess and that they "are so good they're worth the calories."

Twinkies are perhaps the best known product from Hostess, which also makes Zingers and CupCakes.

This isn't the first time the company has tweaked its Twinkies. Last month, the company launched Key Slime Twinkies in conjunction with the new "Ghostbusters" movie. The cream filling was the same green hue as the ectoplasm-spewing ghost Slimer

Hostess was founded in 1919 and started making Twinkies in 1930. The company recently went through some corporate upheaval that brought Twinkies perilously close to extinction.

There was a halt to Twinkie production in 2012, when the Bakery Workers union went on strike and Hostess filed for bankruptcy. But Twinkies were back on the shelves in 2013, after Hostess was bought for $410 million by private equity groups Apollo Global Management (APO) and Metropoulos & Co.

While Apollo and Metropoulos still own part of Hostess, the private equity firm Gores Group purchased a majority share last month for $725 million. Gores Group plans to take Hostess public, expecting the IPO will value the company at $2.3 billion.
