Wal-Mart

To say Wal-Mart is not a bully is to say you are blind. Being a bully in big corporations is rule number one. Wal-Mart runs small businesses out of towns, pays its workers corn chips, has no benefits to speak of, the list goes on and on.

Watch the documentary, Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices, this should tune you in to more of the truth of the situation.

Rather off topic, but...
ARE YOU SERIOUS?! How is that a constructive comment? You are just picking on on poor people, your comment is completely off topic. Just because you do not shop there doesn't mean you can't acknowledge it is a super store with a lot of power. Were are the moderators on this?

I also am unsure of the purpose of that comment, as that appears to be a moderator or bot, with an exceptionally trollful comment, which surprised me greatly.

I shop at Walmart, and for the customer, it is usually a good deal and I don't think that can be denied - just from a customer standpoint, overall, Walmart is quite a boon. But I agree on its bad side too, but it's so big, who's going to make changes to it, unless it's the people on the inside anyway.

On the documentary I listed they talk about many towns in the US that fought legally to keep Wal-Mart out of their towns. However, like my home town just because you force them out of your town does not stop them from putting up a store just outside the town line.

Maybe this is why you find many Wal-Marts right off of a major highway. Also in the film they talk about Chinese employees being practically slaves, in almost every sense to the Wal-Mart company.

I'm listening to Fox News: Wal Mart is looking to open up in a part of Chicago that has met some resistance. Apparently, no one is willing to work for Wal Mart for less than US$11 an hour. The people are saying they cannot take care of their family on the minimum wage.
