It's like a disease

@reeltrouble Exactly. Pathetic.

They build in Triads, Supercenter or converted Supercenter and two Markets, they blanket populated areas even at the cost of taking business away from one another.
There is a Walmart 10 minutes away, you can find a Walmart in any location without knowing where their located, it's really brillant marketing, but at the cost of the smaller retailers.
100 years ago every town had a General Store, hardline, food, clothes, etc. Walmart is the new General Store of the world. Low prices, low wages.

Walmart is a cancer this country and want to destroy the American Dream by taking out all competition. They move into small towns and suck them dry and then move out. Walmart is parasite that must end for the sake of our country. They are ran by racist and only want to hire out to illegals.

How many did they build near their existing store and then shut down/abandon the old location? That local governments can't stop that pisses me off.

Nothing but a pile of trash with a price tag! Almost everything I buy there breaks within the first couple of days or couple of months. They barely pay their employees minimum wage and then throw them away like a peice of trash when they don't perform. They have cameras to protect their stuff but when something is stolen out from your car they don't stinking care. The prices aren't lower. Flimsy, lead filled, poisionous, preserva Let's give ourselves a Christmas present and not shop there!

Wal-Mart sells a high quality dog food & a high quality dog teeth cleaning treat that are made in America - That's about the only quality USA made pet products in Wal-Mart . Electronics & hard goods merchandise are made in Asia.
Wal-Mart's Midwest USA competitor Meijer does a much better job identifying country of origin for grocery products. I don't trust the grocery products at Wal-Mart. The cashiers at Meijer seem to like their job. The happy Wal-Mart cashier is a rarity.

I know what I'm talking about because I am a FORMER Walmart employee. You obviously never have and therefore, not affected by Walmart.
