Special Walmart Exclusive Product for C50

[drbeachboy]

Say what you will, but Walmart didn't get where they are by just being there. People have to go in those stores and buy. They must be doing something right. Not many rich capitalists shop there to my knowledge. So, who makes this store chain so popular? Us, that's who. The average working class Joe's in the good ol' U.S. of A.

It may be a popular place. But, many people shop there only because Wall Mart eliminated the alternatives. Does, Working Class Joe realize that WM plugged the well of competition? Maybe you don't miss the water now, but you will. In the meantime, enjoy the low prices and drink up! And please, don't feed the employees.

Anybody here see the Walmart shoppers pictures site?   Man, that's funny!

I didn't say I agree with the Walmart philosophy, just that the customers themselves perpetuate the popularity of the company. If people turned away and refused to shop, they would go out of business.

[Aegir]

a lot of people can only afford to shop at walmart. And in the more rural areas of the country walmart is often the only store within driving distance.

Yep, it is called demographics. They know exactly who they are catering to, which is why they remain so successful. Forty years ago or so, Malls and Supermarkets did the same thing to many town shopping districts.

It's not about who they cater to, it's about people being at their mercy at this point. Malls and supermarkets forty years ago was something entirely different.

The Beach Boys imo.

They are not just in small towns and rural areas. I live in a populated area with plenty of choices and Walmart outperforms many of their competitors. People here have choices and they still choose Walmart.

Huh? I know you are weird at times, but honestly I don't get the photo. English works quite well, try it. It works well when communicating.

Critics of wal-mart don't like it for several reasons.

1. they don't have a union.  This really pisses off people who like unions, since Wal Mart represents 2% of the U.S. economy (they're the biggest employer in the u.s.). 

2. they sell things cheap because they beat down their suppliers to the absolute bottom dollar... they'll bring in a company that makes t-shirts, and show them a t-shirt they can buy in korea for half the price, and if they can't match the price, they'll buy the korean one. 

3. their stores and policies are boring, cookie cutter capitalism.

Personally, I have no problem with them because I tend to lean libertarian.  Sure, they make all their goods in sweatshops, but people work in sweatshops because if they don't, they have no job at all.  That doesn't sit well with some people, but it's still a reality. 

I happen to like capitalism.  Wal-Mart has put tons of moms and pops out of business, but it all started with 1 man, Sam Walton.  I don't hate him for kicking ass more than anybody else has.  What wal-mart can dominate with low prices, they can't possibly make up with quality, so if a mom and pop has better service or better quality products they'll still be competitive. 

I'm also against unions, so that doesn't bother me. 

I'm happy to shop at any store, but then again if you can't stand Wal-Mart that's your perogative.  Just don't hold your nose so high that you can't see how their super-cheap prices and convienent locations help millions of American families.  Also don't miss how everytime a Wal-Mart opens it's doors, you have 50 times the applications for jobs as what they can provide.  It takes a lot of work to get hired at Wal-Mart, people are dying for a job there. 

And don't forget that people that get jobs at Walmart can at least afford to eat Dog food, where the ones that don't have to live on the streets. And so what if more and more mom and pop stores go under, at least the Chinese and Koreans will be able to keep making their crap to sell at Walmart; heck, who even cares if all americans lose their jobs, as long as Walmart makes $$ and Ron is happy

I have to hand it to you americans. Your system is rubbish, people live in poverty and can only survive by going to the 1 Big American Patriotic Store - Walmart.

Get yourselves a welfare state. I live in Norway and it is truely the way to go, Northern Europe is all welfare states, and few if any are poor, an everyone is free.

To put it this way, not much 'We are the 99%" protests over here, apart from a very few London hippies.

Anyone have any idea as to which section of this "evil" store will I likely find this item?  In the magazine section or the music section?  I want to get in and out as I'll be on my way to work.    Thanks!

[Ron]

Ron is a capitalist. Those who make more money than us obviously work harder than us. He loves Amurricuh. And he and Bruce Johnston are down at the country club complaining how that socialist Obama wants to tax their capital gains.

/end political rant.

/continue political rant.

Yes, I'm a capitalist.  Yes, those who make more money than us work harder than us (in general).  I love America.  I don't complain about socialist Obama; frankly, I don't care what the f*** the president does, because I kick ass and takes names every fucking day to make my money. 


Then again; you wouldn't know that, since you misunderstand capitalism.  Get a clue.  The person who makes me successful is me.  Not laws.  Not Wal Mart, or the absense of Wal Mart.  Not whatever clown is in the white house.  Me. 

[Aegir]

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ZINEPAK

[Ron]

Sure it does!  It's only at Wal Mart, Wal Mart sucks, the people at Wal Mart all stink. 

[bridencar]

The music section.. I've been with Wal Mart for 20 yrs. And all i can say is i have no problem
working there.. Over the years many of people have lost jobs but mine has always been steady.
If you want to make good money you have to work for it. In that respect this job is no different than
other.If you don't like Wal Mart that's your choice but it pays all my bills.

What a joke. Its not that making money is a bad thing. It's just people like Romney who were born on third and act like they hit a triple. It's a lot easier to be a "successful businessman" when your daddy is a millionaire.

Hey man - Bruce Johnston may be a right-winger, but he is not an arrogant douche.

Ron, you are an impressive man, and an island unto yourself. Keep kicking ass and taking names, buddy, it sounds like you're making tons of money - thanks for letting us know!

Cabinessenceking, will you gay-marry me so I can benefit from Norway's welfare state? I rarely kick ass and take very few names, and as such, I am not half the successful capitalist that Ron is. Hopefully he will use some of his ass kickin' and name takin' fortune to buy me some bootstraps - I could sure use 'em!
