Jerry Barnes said:I'm not one of those folks who hate Walmart, but I'm not a big fan either, and this is one reason. I dislike the strongarm tactics they use on their suppliers. It's not just materials that get short shrift, either -- it's the workers too.
I buy as little as possible at Walmart, knowing they really pressure the companies for low prices you know they are cutting out everything they can..
I had a good dump this morning, it was free too.
Ray Dunakin said:Wal Mart used to be a great store when Sam Walton was alive. They used to encourage US production and went as far as financing US production facilities. Now they are just another example of a company driven by short term profits and lacking long term perspective. I do my best to avoid spending money at Wal Mart.

And some of those “factories” 2 and 4 people in their home making one part of the greater end product! As for me, I have not been in WalMart for more than a year and plan on making maney more years! No, I don’t hate WalMart just don’t like the way they do things. They have put way too maney family businesses out of business!
