Every man for themselves!

If the prices go up and business goes down, people will cry that they are out of a job if/when walmart closes. What's that old saying? "be careful what you wish for, you just might get it."

 

I know some one wished he had a son after having 4 daughters.
So his wife said ok for another shot. (no puns intended)

She got home from the ultrasound and said I have good news and some bad news.

Whats the good news? he asked. Wife said "Yes you are having a son"

After a few minutes of cheering he finally asked, "whats the bad news?"
"You have 2 more daughters!" replied his wife.

 

I'd jump off a cliff

 

i know some people who do work at walmart and i bet if you asked them they would give you great service

also i would say that many walmart employees do work their way up the corp ladder - which is something that many companies do not offer anymore

so i am for walmart and against walmart at the same time

i too love low prices BUT i know walmart has the power to demand it from the suppliers which in turn move jobs overseas

walmart used to be all about Made In America - not anymore

they have an excellent supply chain that is unmatched by any company

but they put the mom & pop stores out of business

but as jeff said every man for himself - heck i recall when sears was the walmart - it all cycles and i suspect we will see another company take over as top retailer someday

heck i used to be a republican too

 

Every Wal-mart employee probably gets a coupon for 10% off thier next Wal-Mart purchase.

 

Steve, do you have any figures on what percentage of their items for sale are from over seas?

 

i would assume it's in excess of 95% but let me see what i can dig up

 

I have no idea either, but I am betting that it isn't as bad as you think.

 

and it's not just walmart as i bet target is the same as is all others

BUT we really don't manufacture much in the USA anymore

 

we should do a walmart shopping meet

walk around and just check items
