I can create an amazon listing in under 10 minutes, looks like I need to go shopping! They will obviously be aware of the PS4 now but I think I can get away with some other stuff.

True, but so is the internet and every other nation retail store.

True, but somebody has to hire these idiots or they'll be living off our tax dollars.

If you don't want to shop there that's great, support your local business. Wal-Mart is not a terrible company though.

Yeah, who needs mom & pop grocery stores when there can just be 50 wal mart neighborhood markets in Baton Rouge. Lets just let them build one across from every Matherne's, Rouses, Hi Nabor, Carters, etc - they're such an honorable company that they're not trying to put the independent grocers out of business so that they can work two jobs as part time assistant managers for a step above minimum wage with no benefits. Nah, Wal Mart is great.

They price match prices from retailers on Amazon.. Not 3rd party accounts selling stuff for cheap. But I see how easy it would be to trick a clueless wal mart chaser into thinking the 3rd party seller was amazon itself.

So people should not shop at a place that gives them better prices that fit within their limited budgets so "mom and pop" can more lucratively sell apples out of a repurposed wooden crate?

I'm not saying local businesses are not a great thing, but don't act like Wal-Mart is the only company that hurts local business. If you're going to knock wal-mart knock every other national retail company.

The super nice walmarks in North Scottsdale is almost entirely staffed by black Ethiopians, its weird because they have like 100 working there but I have never seen them anywhere else in Phoenix. Its like the entire community works there but they are AMAZING employees which is why I think they are at the nicest Wal-Mart ever, it has wood floors and the parking lot is mostly German cars.

Anyways, they are so overly polite and friendly that I could never see them arguing, its a lock!

how so?

I was talking to a worker yesterday. She had gotten a raise, but then corporate told her the amount was too much, and the retroactively dropped her pay by $0.10 an hour, and then went back six months on that.

Said she can't quit because she only ever worked retail. (Like a 45 year old hispanic woman)'
' On the other side of the coin, I knew someone whose parent's worked and retired from walmart (door greeter and cashier) and sent their kids to private school.
(of course that was in the Sam days)

Why even make the effort to list an item on the site? If Walmart only requires a printout, you can photoshop whatever you want. Or even easier, edit the site's source code in a notepad, save as .html file, open in browser and print.

Albertson's isn't the ones specifically targeting a few of the AG stores right now. WM is specifically targeting properties near Leblanc's and Carter's for development of the neighborhood markets - they're doing it in Dehnam, Prairieville, Gonzales, and likely to a couple of the stores in Tangi & St. Tammany.

frick Wal Mart.

I mean, technically they didn't do anything wrong. They didn't force Wal Mart to sell them the item at that price. The employee clearly did not follow proper procedure.
