Dollars are votes and the American people have elected W-M. Maybe we should just cast out their votes and make the people shop at govt. owned and operated stores. Higher prices, even worse service and the requisite, eventual shortages. Yeah, that's the American way!

Immediate Satisfaction from low Prices doe's not provide Long Term Fiscal responsibility........Why should we pay and live with sub-standard Chinese Junk, so a Corporation can make more Profit......Short Sighted Mentality only Feeds the Problem and sends more Jobs overseas....My $.02

[/ QUOTE ]True, as a whole, but the other side of the coin are the folks that can't afford to shop elsewhere, and that' number is growing every DAY...figure in fuel/drive time and the fact that Wal-Mart normally does undersell any other competitor...ask most folks in that situation, and they don't call it "immediate satisfaction" they call it "survival".

In case you don't know, the area where Wal-Mart has it's roots (northern Arkansas/southern Missouri) ain't exactly the most economically *blessed* part of the country...

[/ QUOTE ] Its really simple, anyone that feels walmart is not a place for them to shop should buy thier next Samsung plasma TV from Mom and Pops for 500.00 more than walmart and feel like they really "stuck it to the man".

Speaking from a Manufacturing standpoint, the two worst business decisions you can make are:

1. Do business with Wal-Mart.
2. Don't do business with Wal-Mart.

Very difficult and demanding customer.

True. But what does that have to do with WM and the fact that they are the people's choice? Do you want to take away yet another choice in America?

I love the hypocrisy of humans. Show me one person who says, "I think I'll go pay the highest price in town for a new car'. Happens every day in the land of denial.
