also, to respond to some of the comments above, i agree that some people only deserve to make minimum wage, but walmart is one of the ****ing richest companies around and they have been accused numerous times over about deliberatley trying to **** thier employess out of thier wages, as well as benefits.

i understand that businesses are all about making the most money and blah blah blah, but a businesses has a requirment to serve the community of which they are a part of. it is business ethics atthe simplest level. without the public for which to serve you would have nothing. therefore you dont **** the community, and i think that your employess represent that same group

Two things anger me about Wal-mart. One, I have heard some stories about employees of theirs being on a lot of government aid. Two, the move into small towns and put a lot of mom and pop business in the gutter.

i watched a documentary on how walmart ****s us all up the ass.
That was an episode of the PBS series "Frontline". I think it was on last year. And you're right, they screw their employees, vendors, communities, and everyone in between.

i have customers that regular sell to walmart... we also do some logistics distributions to walmart on behalf of customers...

that said, nothing beats walmart for 5 qt bottles of Mobile 1 / Shell Rotella 15w40 dino oil (for the sv650 bike) even tho i hate the walton family more than anything else on this planet...

Well, something had to replace Iraq. So now it's Iran, North Korea, and Wallmart.
