Why do you hate Wal-Mart?

Target's the rich man's Wal-Mart and K-Mart is the ghetto Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart is the everyman's Wal-Mart

It is so hard to

But you know you want to.

Just look at their selection. Their low, low, prices. It's convenience. It's sheer awesomeness.

Succumb to the Wal-Mart Phenomenon

They make you think you're getting a deal but not always. They will do whatever it takes to shave pennies off the price and make you notice it and then have a better quality product or similar ones at prices that are more expensive than the competition.

The only good thing Wal-Mart did in the States was not price gouge customers with produce like all the other stores did before they entered the market. Now Wal-Mart is entering the Canadian produce market but produce prices are already low and will only make things more cutthroat.

One Wal-Mart in Canada was close to forming a union so they decided to close the store.

LIES! Wal-Mart always offers the consumers great deals.

See, Wal-Mart is a benevolent force to be reconed with.

I'm going to be serious now and just say this. It's RETAIL. There is practically no skill to be learned in retail. They are meant to be low paying crappy jobs and people move on to a new one a few years later down the road. This is not a factory job. This is not an airline job. This is a real simple and crappy job. End of story.

You know why, labor want's Wal-Mart to unionize? They don't give a crap about the employees. The union movement is severely declining and if you unionize Wal-Mart, the largest employer in America, you basically reinvigorate the entire union movement.
