I hate the company, can’t stand the people that work there, and worse can’t stand some (not all, some) of the shoppers that fit the stereotypes about walmart shoppers there. Glut glut glut of purchases of useless crap.
That said, I rarely step foot in a Walmart in principle. On the other hand, it seems like a lot of people are willing to put up with Walmart for the low prices. So I doubt this will affect anything.
If it really bothers people, they wouldn’t shop there. In practice, faced with prices/cheap stuff, some people don’t put there money where their mouth is.

August 5, 2008 at 10:15 PM #253080RaybyrnesParticipantI don’t shop ar Wall Mart because it is out of my way but I think that Wal mart benefits me jsut the same because it forces price competition and forces companies to be creative aas a way of attracting my dollar. this is usually in the form of better service or selection. Without Wal Mart many of these companies might be the very ones we are complaining about.

August 5, 2008 at 11:43 PM #253180anParticipantI love Walmart just as much as I love Costco. When I used to live in Oceanside, I’d go to Walmart all the time for stuff that I do not need to buy in bulk at Costco, because there were 4 Walmart w/in 5-10 minutes drive. Maybe it’s the cheapskate trait in my Asian blood, but Walmart really make my $ go much further. I don’t see it as putting up with anything but rather, supporting the companies that embody capitalism at its best.
Walmart does bring a lot of jobs to the area. They also employ some people who wouldn’t be able to get a job other wise. Such as those old people who work as greeters. Not to mention, they allow people with limited means to stretch their $ much further. Especially with the current economic environment with high inflation, job losses, wage stagnation in real term, etc. I see Walmart as a way for many families to stretch there $ further.
