I'm anti wal-mart and I'm against what these people are saying. It's wrong to pick on the workers, they are doing what they need to make and honest living. It's the corporation itself they should be against. Honestly I feel sorry for the workers there because most of the time they don't have many other options, if they even have options.

And to make fun of the people who shop there is also wrong. A lot of them either don't know how bad walmart is, or they don't have alternative place to shop.

i dont understand what walmart did to you people?

[lilbeaveymac]

Fuck you, where else am I supposed to get a vacuum cleaner and a video game at 3 AM?

Yeah walmart is taking over small town businesses, yes they under pay their workers, etc but these two (like the video says) "fucktards" are crossing a line when they target the employees. four of my best friends (one being my boyfriend) work at walmart. they aren't monkeys! My god, they do the work so they can pay for: school, their own place to live, food etc. not because they're scum. Talking about those workers like that is wrong. You don't know their life, all you do is make t-shirts.

yay f***tards!

I prefer Costco, they treat their employee well and more often than not beat Walmart prices. Walmart has a simply philosophy: pay their employees as little as possible without actually killing them. They give lessons on how employees can get government handouts. You are paying for Walmart whether you shop there or not.

@Mezey5 It's bad for the corporations that AREN'T million dollar organizations and, hence, can't compete for business. "Normal" shops just can't bring prices down in the same way because they're not in charge of the markets the way bigger companies are. You could argue that it's a trait of capitalism, not directly wal-mart, but frankly, I'm against it either way.

These people are still fucktards, though. See SanMonoke13's top comment.

Do you not understand how evil it is for a corporation to provide goods at cheaper prices, all those consumers are being taken advantage by all that increased purchasing power.

@xblackiris10x I don't have too many complaints about Wal-Mart, but one thing that's really disgusting that they do is taking out insurance policies on their employs that they know are incredibly ill and are going to die. So when that person dies they make hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, but never pass any of that cash on to the family of the deceased employees. That's pretty disgusting. Other Corporations do this as well though.
