I shop at Wal-Mart.
I live in an apartment and it’s very sparse. I don’t buy much so it’s unlikely Wal-Mart makes a lot of profit from me. They may even lose money on me.
I’m sorry but when it comes to money directly out of my pocket, then I’m going to go with the best or equal quality at the cheapest price.
Remember that at any level of income, Americans are much better-off than workers around the world. If we can lift workers around the world out of poverty, then it’s good for humanity.
For example, think about the rise of China. We consume their products and in the process we have lifted millions out of poverty. I think that’s a very good thing that Capitalism achieved.

October 27, 2009 at 9:34 AM #474135briansd1GuestThere’s also a cultural element to shopping at Wal_Mart.
For better or for worse, Wal-Mart is an American cultural icon just like Coca-Cola, Levis, Disneyland, etc…
If anything, Wal-Mart, as the largest company in America, is an icon of capitalism itself. And America is the country which represents Capitalism.
When you go to Mexico, you want to try Sanborn’s Cafe. When you visit Turkey, you want to shop at the local bazaar. In Japan, you want to visit the fish market where the fresh sushi is traded.
When you visit a new place, you want to see where the local people do their shopping. In America, Wal-Mart it is. Inside Wal-Mart, there’s a nail salon. There’s a fast food outlet. There’s an optical shop, a garden center and a tire shop. You see all kinds of people come through.
Decades ago, Sears were that shopping icon. Now, it’s Wal-Mart. When you shop at Wal-Mart you get a sense of the country.
I have fun looking at the products and the people when I shop at Wal-Mart.

Not sure how illegal immigration affects Walmart, you’re wrong if you’re ascerting Walmart hires illegal immigrants. Walmart requires all associates to provide required I-9 documents proving they have a legal right to work in the US within 72 of being hired or else they are terminated. Walmart associates are also eligible for benefits after a period of time as well, and like most of us they have to pay into that program in order to get them. There are some terrifically affordable plans out there now for Walmart associates.
I know, I work for Walmart…and the Oceanside Supercenter is the future of Walmart in California. Whether you shop there or not, whether you like Walmart or not, you save money because of Walmart’s enormous impact on the retail competitive market.[/quote]
Trojan,
I am sure the corporate attorneys would be able to defend the corporation in the court of law. Tyson Foods attorneys did and Walmart for sure can purchase better protection than Tyson Foods.
Walmart is just one of the beneficiaries of the culture in which big businesses are being subsidized big. I am not interested in talking points explaining how ‘by the people, for the people’ equals unhealthy food and poisonous plastic for some, $8/h for others and campaign contributions and billions in profit for others.
