I dont know if you guys know what all goes into putting a Wal-Mart up but my goodness theres always a fight in every city to keep it out of their city.


Do you guys have any problems with Wal-Mart?


go to Walmart facts\

they have such a bad rap but i personally see nothing wrong with the company. They are an excellent company for wifes or family members of those who live on military bases. Gives people a chance to work.

for me I try to avoid shopping at wal-mart if I can, because like what has already been said, when they move into small communities they devistate the economy... Wal-Mart opens up in town, pop. 5,000. Undercuts competition so eveybody shops there, in turn driving the smaller competitors out of business. Their old employees now are foreced to find new jobs, most likely at wal-mart, making 6 dollars an hour... now lots of the people in the economy have no $ to spend, and the cycle continues...

If you people think Wal-Mart is bad, then you don't understand economics at all. The most competitive companies survive. If you don't like their products or how much they pay, then quit shopping or working there. It's your choice. Wal-Mart was good for my small town because the local businesses didn't have any competition and were charging too much. It hasn't put a lot of companies out of business either. It has however made things more competitive and employeed more people. The town I live in now has a mall, a Meijers, a K-Mart, Best-Buy, Circuit City, Dicks Sporting Goods, Krogers, and a Wal-Mart all within less than a mile, and they have no problem sharing their business.
