people of walmart - Page 3

risingstar · 08-30-2009, 05:47 PM

When I worked for the Department of Youth Protection (way back when), I came across a number of people who "looked" like some of the people we see in those WalMart pictures. While some were certainly in need to be put down (just imagine the reasons - you'd probably be right), there were also quite a few that were among the sweetest people I ever met.

All this to say, clothes and fashion sense certainly don't make the person. I've definitely met more than my fair share of a-holes with money, an education, and style.

I've seen this one - and it is disturbing. My local Wal-Mart attracts a certain population that I don't see in my everyday life - and I'm not trying to be rude - but when you see a 300+ pound woman in a half shirt next to a 400+ man in a riding cart filled with food towing another cart filled with food - all of it frozen dinners - you just know they are living a life you can't even begin to imagine...

I knew someone who was fired from Wal-Mart because she wished another cashier a Happy Birthday over the PA - and the reason? They said it was because she used the person's name rather than the ID number that Wal-Mart assigned them...

Wal-Mart and Target. Two completely different worlds!

Well said, risingstar.

Hey Ratchet, did the lil Hulk arrive in the mail yet? Man, I hope it isn't lost! But if so, I'll find you another one.

Trust me, living on a budget and therefore needing Walmart to survive is a lie. I can definitely attest to this. I would wager the little I have that no one on this forum is in the financial disaster situation that we are and yet, we have made it without shopping at Walmart.

This is the exact video that made me avoid Sprawlmart like the plague. I challenge any of you to watch it & still shop there.

This site covers some of Walmart's douchebaggery, but the video does a better job. Savings? You'd be surprised how much you, the taxpayer, gives Walmart every year. Not to mention what it does to your community as a whole.
