re: People "collecting" money outside of Wal-Mart

That wasn't my point. I just refuse to shop there. There are many other options besides Walmart at almost the same prices or better. But, you seem like one to bitch about something instead of doing something about it. So, by all means, keep bitching.
There is always some Walmart junkie who will come to its defense and they always use the "privilege to pay higher prices" argument. How about "I'll pay a little more to not stand in line for ten minutes?" Or "I don't want to wear the same blouse as some 300 pound trailer park behemoth?" Or "I support small and/or local businesses."

That isn't wal-marts fault, that is a federal government issue. If you run a buisness you take every possible advantage you can to make the bottom line as big as you can.
Now I am totally with you about the federal government should not be subsidizing billion dollar companies but in my opinion wal mart is a well oiled machine in our capitolist economy.
You are right, it is not Walmart's fault. It is the fault of those who give their money to Walmart. I have a farm, and one of the little town's near my farm has a locally owned grocery store that may go out of business (they are trying to hang on) because one of the little Walmart's came in.
Of course, once the competition leaves, then there will be no store with sackers who carry your groceries out. The money will all flow to the Mart in Arkansas.
I get so pissed when I see local people shopping at that store - you really don't realize what is happening?

Hahaha I'm no junkie bro just find it funny your against capitalism. Hey that's the beauty of it. If you aren't into waiting for cheaper products you have the ability to go elsewhere. I wouldn't expect you to know what running a buisness is like if you haven't before.
But hey call me a junkie because you can't win an argument against me.

I owned a store that I sold because of walmart moving close. I am against the federal government who allowed them to have an unfair playing field. I'm not upset with walmart, bc I know if I was giving the option I would take every advantage I could.

Yes, in Fannin County northeast of Dallas.

You want to know how unfair of a playing field it was? I would go in walmart and find the exact products I sold. They would sell them retail cheaper than I could buy them wholesale.

That's due to their size and buying power, as I am sure you know. That is not an unfair advantage. They earned that advantage fair and square by growing to their current size. It's smart business to provide bulk discounts to large customers as Wal-Mart's vendors do. Cannot fault the vendors or Wal-Mart for that.

It's HORRIBLE at the Burbank Wal Mart. My go to line used to be "sorry no cash," but those little frickers last time were like "oh that's ok we take credit cards."
BTW Wal Mart is awesome frick you commies.

You are right. It is that in part but go do some research it is much more than that. Go look into exactly how much money the federal government subsidizes to them and the breaks they get.
Posted on 10/18/15 at 6:58 pm to LeonPhelps
I don't fault wal mart at all. Go look at my previous posts in this thread. I blame the government for the tax breaks, subsidies, ect ect.

I do not even acknowledge their existence. I ignore their begging for money completely. I sometimes even make deliberate eye contact but make zero response when they ask for money and keep walking without breaking stride.

And walking through the lots before the game selling all manner of crap...

If I had my way (which will never happen), Walmart would be dismantled. I would settle for being banned from opening the small stores, should be antitrust.
Costco, on the other hand, should be exalted. It pays good wages, far above what Walmart pays.

They are probably Walmart employees begging for enough money to live on.
