Wal*Mart
I despise walmart. Its like taxes, you hate it, but it seems to be necesarry. I was in there this morning when they did their little motivational morning talk....
Never has a company done so much research into keeping their employees happy and then fucked them up and driven them into the ground. they were one of the first companies to refer to their employees (yes EMPLOYEES!) as associates. They arent your friends, they work for you. They are employed by you, not associated with you. Assholes. And hooray for the door greeters. Nothing like an akward moment of being stared down by an old person who doesnt want to say hi, then watching their eyes dart away when you look back at them. Some are nice, and i get a kick out of it when they give Lily a sticker (she goes nuts), but most of the time, it makes things uncomfortable the second you walk in. Bree worked for walmart for a year. One of the "special needs" people they employed as a cart fetcher took a liking to her, and every visit after that we were accosted by him coming over and shouting "HI BREE! HOW ARE YOU! ARE YOU STILL WORKING AT WAL MART!" No offense but jesus christ.... "They have LCD TVs for HALF the other places!" Do they have sony, panasonic or any other brands that get great reviews? No, just some not quite off brand? Damn. They are also magnets for white trash. Almost as bad as a dollar store, its not like they are packed wall to wall with the cream of the crop of the human race. Fat bitchy women, skinny bitchy women, screaming kids. And lets not forget the one one town over from me where there are greasy looking middle aged men who stare at little girls like they are strippers.... God i hate walmart... |
Don't shop there.
I haven't been in one for at least 5 years (actually I think it was 7 years ago?) |
I honestly dont know how i managed to get roped into shopping there, i have always hated it.

somehow i read this as ferret catcher i was thinking - what the fuck does walmart need with a ferret catcher - and why the hell would they give that job to a special needs person.. personally i like walmart for DVDs - and thats about it. I go there maybe once every couple of months. i like being the only person in a crowd not wearing sweatpants. |
I hear anti-Walmart rants all the time and when the real information wains, it often comes out to yelling at the poor for being poor. Yeah, Walmart sucks, but so too does our economy, so too does our job market and so too does our ability to take care of other human beings. So, until America actually gives a shit about its lower middle and lower class, Walmart will be the only place a lot of people can shop. Not their fault. Not their fault for being poor. Maybe their fault for being greasy and weird, but it's not their fault for being poor or freaks. If you can afford not to shop with freaks, I recommend it. If you can't, don't scorn them for their poverty.

Unfortunately we can't really avoid Wal-Mart....its pretty much the only place here. Wait, there is a BiLo.....which is ridiculously overpriced, and also doesn't have everything we need. Every other place is either too small, and again doesn't have what we need....OR we have to drive an hour to get there. So the trip to Wal-Mart is inevitable.
But they have some really good deals on DVDs. :) And really, its not as bad as all that here as long as you avoid going on the weekends, then its a bit like being sucked into hell. |

Their anti-competitive tactics are legendary.
As someone who supports free enterprise, I will never go there. |
