Do you shop at Walmart?

[Jarlaxle]

This is the longest pointless argument I ever saw lol.

And yet here you are joining right in. Amazing isn't it?

Actually it isn't pointless because we are at the cusp of what we are going to be as a society. Do we value free enterprise and success and achievement? Or do we want to do away with that in the name of 'fairness' and 'equality' and sameness?

Is Walmart a feature of how our nation is evolving and therefore we should adapt? Or do we roll the clock back to the mom and pop store era as the only way things can be if society is good?

It has been fascinating watching some damn us who remember earlier eras fondly and all they can see is whatever negatives existed in those earlier times. And they can't see any negatives in what they prefer in these modern times. And now the same people want to reverse modern times in commerce and industry as evil and can see only good in the way things used to be.

Maybe it has always been that way?

Hmmm ...

rw's want us to be a bedroom community of China.

Libs, not so much.

Sadly, rw's are winning.

Don't think so?

How many rw's shopped at small businesses on "small business Saturday"? as opposed to going to WallyWorld just to make the point that, by gawd, ain't nobody gonna tell them they kint buy their Made In China Plastic Shit And IN-rich Dem Waltons Whut Live On Walton Muntin.

See what I mean?

I had to work on "small business Saturday"...though on my way home, I did get dinner at a small business.

And now they[union thugs] are targeting retail and Walmart, being the biggest, is the No. 1 target.

yes the union thugs drove 30 million manufacturing jobs offshore, and now they are going after industries that cant escape off shore so easily. They will turn them into zombie industries, like they did the public schools, to serve themselves only.

Only liberals are preventing us from making unions illegal again.

Seeerius comment follows -

We went to a WallyWorld. Looked for a toy. Didn't find it but did talk to a little girl, "asss-oshit", preggers out to there who told us about a bunting, all pink and fluffy, for sale in the baby department.

Then, in a hushed voice, she said, "but its $twenty dollars".

Jeeeezus fucking krist.

We asked if she knew her baby's sex.

She said "gurl".

I slipped a twenty in her pocket and told her go buy the bunting.

She said, "they're watching" and tried to give it back.

I managed to get the money into her pocket but the point is, the "asss-oshits" have to be careful. Saw the same thing on a documentary - that they're watched, every minute. And, they don't dare talk to each other because WallyWorld plants spies.

What a foul and vile world we've made where we once valued freedom.

Are you on LSD?

I think you'd have gotten a better liberal response if the title had been, Do you shoplift at Walmart?

rw's want us to be a bedroom community of China.

and you are socialist commie liberal who wants to dictate where we shop and what we pay throughout the entire economy. The principle is the Nazi one: a few liberals know best and they should dictate to the rest one thing after another because they know best.

 

[thereisnospoon]

They sell Ipads ...and tablets ....they sell everything at K-Mart (that's how is called here) much cheaper than all the other places.... people buy things where its cheaper.... it falls to reason!

That is truly evil...Those bastard consumers.

Why oh why do the ninny rw's refuse to look up the definitions of the really silly nonsense they fling around? Okay, I understand that most are almost graduates of the 7th grade but, hell's bells, they CAN read, can't they?

Eddy, honey, if you have access to this new thing called the INTERWEBS, you can actually type in GOOGLEfuckingDOTcom and EDUCATE yourself.

Best of all, you don't even have to leave your mommy's basement.

Good for you but, as we see here, most rw's want to support big business and foreign business over the US. Shopping at WallyWorld is a way of doing that.

actually big business does not want to do any foreign business at all. A child could understand this. Its a ton of extra effort, but their customers force them to do it because their customers want lower prices. If big business (slaves to customers in a capitalist economy) does not comply the customers drive them into bankrupty and do business with competitors.


You like to blame big business for serving customers because you are a brain washed Marxist without the IQ to have any idea what happend to you or how you're being used.

Wow. Wal mart is the number one killer of small business in America no matter what anyone says. There is no way local small businsess can compete with Wal Marts low prices. We got Wal Mart and within a year main street was 50% vacant. Chineese products killing American small business in the womb. Yet they want us to think it's Obama care. They say that small business needs all the breaks they can get, and the way that the US government backs big business over small business I can agree. Large business, with their bought and paid for politicians, kill off their competition through over regulation every day. Talk about saving American small business than go shop at Wal Mart, it just doesn't sound right. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, our choices our being taken away. No monopolies but how many cable tv options do you have? ever tried to change electric companies?

Do I shop at Wal Mart? yes.
Do I like it? no.
Do I have an economical alternative? no.
When the oportunity arises to shop else where do I take it? absolutely.

Of course small business can compete with a big box store. The small mom and pop junkshop sells exactly the same crap Wal Mart sells, they just charge double the price. That's why they go out of business. The answer isn't to deny the consumer the opportunity to pay a more fair price. Wal Mart like all major stores is an anchor. A dozen or more stores and shops will open next to a Wal Mart. Wal Mart doesn't kill small business, it advances it.

Yes and no, Katzndogs. I don't know if WalMart buys seconds on tools and stuff, but I do know if you purchase fabrics, WalMart seems to have the same fabrics as you get at more expensive stores, but if you hold them up to the light, they're almost transparent, whereas the goods small merchants purchase (from the same company) is opaque. Also, if you weigh 4 yards of what WalMart is selling against 4 yards of the "same" fabric that is more opaque, the WalMart tissue fabric weighs a lot less, is less sturdy, has a lower thread count, etc.

That's because WalMart home office calls the fabric manufacturer with a demands list that includes a reminder that their million yard purchase is more than a mom-and-pop 20-bolt purchase, and they want the following concessions: (1) 50% off what the mom and pop pays (2) Half price on shipping, too (3) Direct phone order line (4) Carte-blanche all-expenses paid invitations to manufacturer shows for Wal-Mart buyers with pre-arranged sight-seeing trips around factory's country including factory review for company participants.

WalMart uses its large purchase power to eliminate mom and pop competitors, Katzndogs. People think they're buying the same quality, but the factory puts out a cheaper product that deceives people. But they're dummies if they don't say "yes" to lucrative offers like that, and in order to make money and meet demands, they have to cheapen the product, which looks like but isn't the same quality as mom and pop fabric companies who'd send it back if it weren't the expected high quality they have always received.

So, it's a box of chocolates, Katz. You may not know what you're getting when you're paying half as much for what appears to be the same but lacks that wonderful quality of traditional cloth manufacture.

You know what I support when I'm shopping, the ONLY thing I'm supporting by shopping? Me getting the things I need at a price I want to pay. Only dumbfucks think shopping is a fucking political statement, or that anyone but them gives a rat's ass about their "statement" anyway.

I agree, but, when I use the men's room there are always handicapped stalls or family bathrooms is that a political statement?

I want a left handed screw driver. I can never find one is that a political statement.

No, handicapped and family bathrooms are a CAPITALISM statement, as in "Handicapped people's money spends, too, and more of them will come spend it here if we accommodate them."

I didn't even know they MADE special screwdrivers for lefthanded people. I just steal my husband's tools when I need them.
