Participant[quote=Trojan4Life]Captcha,
You must really have a hard-on for Walmart or something! The reason Walmart failed in Germany had nothing to do with IT systems, it was that Walmart did not fit culturally within the German society. They didn’t do their homework and it cost them. We have since gotten smarter and are in over 30 countries worldwide, sometimes not using the “Walmart” name.
Haters…so predictable.[/quote]
What is this, a sports msg board? You were doing so well.

Participant[quote=paramount][quote=Trojan4Life]I think if Walmart’s 1.5 million US associates were affected by the 12% unemployment rate, we’d be in even a worse mess. I have 500-600 people apply for every vacant job we post. We are not the problem, Captcha…[/quote]
Not sure I would agree with that – isn’t it true that businesses and communities are really negatively impacted in the area around Wal Mart’s?
Also, $11/hour (or slightly more) is not even a living wage IMO.[/quote]
What about the argument that Walmart employees are by and large retail employees and thus don’t really deserve “living wages”? How many complain about the presumably low pay at a Rite-Aid, CVS or Walgreens? Are those all union shops? I never hear the anti-Walmart stuff leveled at Target. Does Tarjay pay that much better? I’m guessing Target doesn’t have the rep for hammering its suppliers on prices.

ParticipantI more or less loathe shopping at Walmart. No fun for me, except the time I got the last HD-DVD player in a special section of the store when the price was cut to $99. It’s generally really crowded, cluttered and loud. I find the atmosphere at Walmart simply drab; to me, it’s a drag to go there, yet I still do from time to time, and I don’t outright try to forbid my wife from shopping there. Maybe it’s improved over the years, but clothes off the rack, merch on the aisles. They’re generally in massive shopping centers with bottleneck traffic areas.
