Re: The end of the Wal-Mart era

I don't go there to buy oil anymore. In the past, the caps have been opened and that aluminum cover or whatever inside has been ripped open.

Only head there when I have to.

Re: The end of the Wal-Mart era

I only go to walmart for oil and thats about it. There are no nearby fleetfarms around me.

Re: The end of the Wal-Mart era

Watch Lou Dobbs at 5pm on CNN. If he isn't talking about the shitty White House administration, illegal aliens & border security (Mexicans), he's talking about unfair trade agreements with China, which is a HUGE supplier of walmart goods.

I once walked around Walmart trying to find something made in the US and about the only thing I could find was a garbage can made by RubberMaid I think it was.

I don't know how there is even any industry left in the US.

I don't believe that at all. I used to work at walmart and they always catch whoever makes the doors ring. Walmart is a shitty place to work. Management are fucking liers. I wanted to transfer to automotives and the manager said ill be there in 2 weeks. Ive been waiting 4 months and my coworker from my department decides to get transfer to a different walmart within 2 weeks. I think they are racist. Walmart has been messed up with employee's not showing up for there shifts. It's a good thing that I quit on the spot while they only have 1 employee for my department. Now I'm off to a better place that pays better and is more easier.

Re: The end of the Wal-Mart era

While I was working at walmart, I had to watch the doors sometimes. This guy comes out with his backpack and the door alarm comes on. I stopped him and asked him if I can look inside his backpack. He said it was private stuff so I told him I have to see what made the door alarm come on. He shows me his backpack and there goes like 10 dvd's of porn. So I'm suprised he brought these porn to store. So I let him off and then my supervisor comes and says "did you catch that guy?" I was telling my supervisor but then he interupt me and says "That guy stole some expensive underwear. Did you catch him?" I told him no and was going to continue my story but he said "next time watch the door more carefully". I was like whatever, I don't care if customers steals stuff. So from then on, I just checked the receipt and told them they're good.

Re: The end of the Wal-Mart era

I hate Wal-Mart, I try to avoid going in as much as possible. It's been about 2-3 weeks since I've been in one and a month or 2 at least since I have bought anything.
