Local Business Good, Wal-Mart Bad

[KingSlimjeezy]

What the fuck is so great about small businesses? Honestly? Why should i support people who get to do what they wanted in life at a higher cost? I work at a target, and the amount of shit we do EVERY SINGLE NIGHT to keep the store running is amazing to me, and there is absolutely no fucking way that a mom and pop store could keep up. Its just too much work for 2, 10, even 20 people.

Whats wrong with a company that uses teamwork, technology and logistics to work more efficiently?

[MUDSWAT]

Fuck the Jobs at Wal-Mart, Fuck the low Pay, Fuck the Crappy products... I'm going to tell you the real reason Wal-Mart is Bad... People get SS (Social Security) take their money and go spend it at Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart sells All Asian Products or at least 80% Asian Products. So everyone is spending their money on Asian products and giving the money to Asia... Ban Wal-mart Buy American ! Save your Country !! This is more important than the Jobs and the Cheap goods !! Your Country is at risk!!

[mtoasty]

If you don't like Walmart, then don't shop there. Very simple! I'm not crazy about shopping there but why would I pay 20% more for the exact same product at Albertsons than I could at Walmart? If makes no sense for my family.

[assassin6637]

@mtoasty its one of the reasons why our economy is so bad.

[lamourlupus]

Follow Dukes V Walmart and Rhoem V Walmart. Costco filed a friend of the court to support Walmart in the US Supreme Court oral hearing to prevent Betty Dukes and others from getting their lawsuit not certified for a civil court trial.

[lamourlupus]

Read the book "Made in America", get a job with them. Observe discretely what they say and do for you to get first hand facts.

[ahasexotikos]

I work for Wal-mart. If you are smart. Don' t shop at Walmart! Trust me!

[vademtiraspol]

It is not Walmarts fault for Hana's debt, that the video tries to imply, it is Hana's fault for choosing to buy more useless shit.

[JaguarCheckCashing]

This is very true.

[masterofall00]

shirt wuz ugly

[randy95023]

Wal-Mart's success speaks for itself. Sam Walton was a good old boy with a brilliant business plan. If you don't like Wal-Mart then don't shop there, but the vast majority of Americans DO shop there.

As for pay and unions; You all gotta remember that life ain't fair and going Socialist might feel good but it won't make life fair either...

[randy95023]

I do have to admit that this was a "feel good" video but go to Wal-Mart and watch people cruising the aisles of their 3 acre store filling their carts to overflow with cheap stuff. You think anyone that you see there is REALLY gonna hop on their bike and ride 3 miles to buy a used shirt? Like I said; "Feel Good Video", but hopelessly out of touch with the American consumer.

[TexasRevolution2010]

@randy95023 Sam Walton's dream has died like 30 years ago when it became a major Corporation taking in crap from china with the people who are payed low cheap labor and expect to save money when the products break? Compare that to local stores that have there stuff made here.

[abodd123456]

it was 7 mins long, left like a whole hour.... but very intresting

[Qsquarded]

Davesevaw I see you can't make a good argument with out resorting to name calling. If I am the idiot, then why do i have a college education and a good paying job and save money by buying stuff from Walmart. Its clear you want this country to fail and support communism.

[caddlemen]

ummmm. How is this communism? Supporting small businesses instead of having one big business control the whole industry? Wal Mart outsources almost all of its industry to China. The biggest communist country. You say this guy has no reference to a source, well your arguments are way more rediculous. He's expressing his opinion. If you don't feel sorry for the employees, look at everything else.

[Qsquarded]

You obviously dont understand what i am saying. And it is not suprising. I never said I was against small business, but alot of you people that "hate" walmart, hate and want to penalize success just like communist do. If you do better than someone else then you have to give the surplus to someone(s) else so its even. Its not walmarts fault they can offer many quality products for low prices that everyone can afford and if you dont understant that then go back to school and take economices 101

[caddlemen]

Where does he or I say that a surplus of money should be given to other people? All he is saying is that the small businesses are usually better overall for the communities, the overall economy, and eventually for the customer. Wal-Mart doesn't provide "quality" products. They're peices of crap made by almost slaves in foreign countries, many of which are communist. He isn't saying that all the money should be split amongst people. You need to be open to his and my opinion.

[davesevaw]

Qsquaurrded your an idiot Its so clear you work for walmart

[Qsquarded]

What type of communist garbage is this, i would love to know where this numbers and stats came from. Am I suppost to feel bad that someone with no education and no job skill only gets paid $8.50/hr. All of these so called "exploted" Wal Mart employees know what they are getting into. I love buying stuff at Wal Mart, its quality merchandice at a decent price. If you dont like it then move to Russia, I hear Communisum is making a comeback there.

[davesevaw]

I've seen allot of stupid thing written on here but you take the cake. It would be easy to call you an idiot but that is apparent in your words

[gooletlovein]

walmart sucks....

[bcmtube]

if you don't like low wages then get a skill above pushing carts.

Walmart is my hero

[kimonui]

don't touch my dog, beyotch!! whaaappp!

[ManeaksInc]

wal-mart is horrible. -.- thanks for posting this video

[hearsay888]

Wal-Mart has been terrible for the US.. They put local businesses out of business. They use and recommend public resources like MEDICAID AND WELFARE to their employees because they don't pay enough and the God_Damn government helps them by building roads for easier access and other reasons...This is Both the Democrats and Repulicans fault...They abuse their emloyees...WAKE UP AMERICA DON'T SHOP AT THIS SHIT HOLE>>>

[Equilibrius82]

although i guess walmart, is not that good for the economy. but nothing is guaranteed anymore. Our dealers in michigan, the trucks are almost 15k less now. The other day i was told, by someone, cant say who, that there eliminating trucks, suvs alltogether and making them smaller. But who knows for sure really, except the big companies.

[bestamerica]

why why use 999999999999999

[seriousRaver]

I love men

[CledusTJuddfan]

wow...this video is soooo stupid.....1. the first part of this video didnt have anything to do with walmart

2. i have friends who work at other stores and they make about the same as i do and i work at walmart

3. kohls and target sell chinese clothes too

4. if you work full time you get health insurance and vacation days

5. target and best buy uses plastic bags

6. its americans fault that they can control their spending and they get in debt

7. good will has a parking lot

ect.

[Jalli52]

You have been WalMart Washed...you do not understand NOW but someday you WILL

[Jalli52]

I too worked at WalMart years ago...BEFORE it was as bad as it is NOW...YES I KNOW IT IS BAD...some friends and family work there....NOW......oh and by the way does your WalMart hire the mentally challenged to do dangerous jobs as does ours here in THE COLONY,TX??????? Have you used a WalMart pharmacy to get more than two prescriptions filled lately??

[CledusTJuddfan]

nope..."retarded" people are the customers up here in WI, and as far as the pharmacy goes...ummm...no

[Jalli52]

Well here in The Colony, TX which is a small community north of Dallas, and west of Frisco, north west of Plano MOST people have many many job options, and do not NEED to work menial jobs, UNLESS that is ALL they are qualified to do. In Wisconsin, it maybe different. Do you work in small town America? That is where WalMart can appear to HELP the community, although there is controversy about that. I agree WalMarts do have MANY RETARDED customers. We have the worst Pharmacy here....!!!!!!!!

[2008HLB]

OMG, there is just so much wrong with this video, i don't even know where to begin. Try reading John Stossels chapter on sweatshops in his most recent book for starters. Also, did anyone catch what was on the gas sign? "all taxes included" Oil companies make like 5 cents per gallon in profit while depending on where you live, you are paying 40 to 60 cents per gallon in TAXES. So who is the villain here again?

[tigersharkmonkey]

When you are stressed, your health suffers. Eggs from/and burn out chickens have much less nutrition. Ignorance is bliss and I can only imagine the waistline of the people eating this crap. Seen the video on McDonald's french fries after months under glass? No change, no mold, nothing. you'd be better to each the box they came in. Once you have diabeties from obese/poor diet, you can't go back. Maybe THEN you'll wake up!!

[JoeAuriun]

This is just propaganda, I don't know where to begin with this comment .. I don't think they allow me to type enough to cover it all. Guess its been covered in previous comments anyways

btw, hannah is fat as shit

[Equilibrius82]

lolllllllllll. funny video. this is bs. my friend works walmart and has health insurance. but i do agree Corporate Walmart needs to burn to the ground. the good ol days need to come back. Drive in theatres, drive up dine in resturants and yes bell bottoms...

[Jalli52]

Thank God your friend can afford it. Many people working at WalMart cannot afford the premiums, and the coverage they offer??????? Compared to other mega businesses like theirs, it is proven the coverage is one of the worst offered

[got2liv4him]

if Tom wants more per hour... go work somewhere else!

[Jalli52]

Many do...although when you give your notice to WalMart as you should they give you a little bit more money IF they want to keep you, and make BIG promises, that are filled with LIES>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

[GeddiGuy]

No Union! Why is there not a union! That's outrageous!

[Jalli52]

Reason??? In the South where they originated unions are practically non existant. I have worked for 37 years here in the South, and NEVER been asked to join a UNION NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!

[CledusTJuddfan]

please enlighten me on the evils of walmart wise one

[Jalli52]

Check the quality...oh DUMB one

[ilikesakura2005]

These people are PETA people!!!!

[Crazyman1212]

what a stupid video, americans have to stop being GREEDY

[bestamerica]

yes right..

people are the world is EVIL GREEEEDY

[ISUSharpie]

Kudos! This is a really cool film

[spiker27a]

Silly video and I agree for the most port anyway. I'm not buying used clothes tough or taking my bake out when it's raining.

[chickens1127]

Completly right, another great video

[Asystolic]

you guys need help... where to start? I really think you have your ideas crossed.

[davidunite]

Purchasing from independent businesses is a great way to invest in your local community!

[FreeAgain2]

7 minutes and 21 seconds - amount of time I wasted watching this.

[DanialWali]

but it's so cheap!

[Jalli52]

Do some comparison.  Buy an expensive shirt from a well known high end store. Hey buy it on clearance! Care for it as described on the label, and do the same thing but purchase from WalMart

[Chinless08]

Awesome film!!!

[tttaylor18]

I like the video ,unfortunately there are still americans that feel that there is nothing wrong or unfair tward the american workers and economy thru Globalization  :-(

[Jalli52]

Wait until their work is taken overseas, and their standard of living is compromised. They will finally wake up, although it maybe too late.

[vmf214nb]

What do you mean (Wait till taken over seas)????? Jaill walmart is opening 5,000 new stores in China this year. Its sick!!!! Then they'll have real slave labor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[juliefanselow]

Buy local - what a great resolution for 2008!

[juliefanselow]

Buying local: a great resolution for 2008!
