Wow... There's a lot more Walmart hate still floating around than I thought. You guys are so 2003. These misconceptions about Walmart are rather stupid. Take it from someone who used to work at there: it sucks, but it's not half as bad as you seem to think it is.1. All Walmart employees make more than minimum wage. That's not "on average"; that's actually every employee taken as an individual, sort of thing. Try saying that about every beloved "mom and pop" store.2. WalMart prices are barely competitive. The *rumor* of low prices (which you morons with your "cheap Chinese crap" diatribes are actually promoting with said diatribe) is more powerful than the actual prices themselves (Gamestop *always* has better prices than WalMart, for example). Your "mom and pop" store isn't going out of business because of WalMart's prices; it's because people don't care about small stores that don't carry everything that they're looking for.3. WalMart gives more to local charities than most of the stores you'd probably think of as alternatives.If you don't like WalMart's position on Unions, or you're still butt hurt about something one store did nearly a decade ago as a result of retarded CSMs, fine. Don't shop there. The rest of us, who mostly only go there for convenience (and because it's the only place to buy a Hard Drive at 3am), will at least save on gas money from not driving all over town, because sometimes you need a plunger, some shampoo, and a usb flash drive, and it's nice to have one place for them all.
