wal-mart

I found the below link interesting, I already hate and refuse to shop there, but now I have a whole new list of reasons, as well as verification for the ones I had before.

I don't have a problem with Wally-World. Anybody can make a biased presentation about anything.

I didn't read anything on people being chained to these jobs. If the conditions are that bad, QUIT! If more people felt this way and WalMart really had a hard time finding people to hire, then just maybe they would change. Guess it's just my capitalistic point of view. We all have our faults. :wink: :roll: :lol:

I'm biased against them mainley because I worked for a soda company for a number of years (I wont mention names) and seen from the inside how they alainate their workers and vendors, and if you complain they call your corprate office and tell them if you go back into their store they will pull all your product off the shelf.if you do anything they dont like they will refuse your delivery's and screw you out of money, and then blame it on and punish you when there is no product on the shelf. I've seen employes give 2 week notice and they walk them out of the store right there and fire them, and say dont bother with notice, short term employees are a theft risk. and the list goes on for days

my customer service experiences at WalMart have always been terrible. I tried shopping at King Soopers but my grocery bill went up too much, so I'm back at walmart

I used to shop at Cub foods and I was very happy there but they closed all the Colorado stores.

I have to agree with that completely. I still work for a soda company and they still do that stuff. Also they now give you a window to deliver in. If you miss your window you don't get to deliver. They expect companies to paln their whole business around them. It's impossible, and expensive to try. It can't be done on a consistant basis, and if you do it like they ask, they still mess with you in other ways.

It's a company that is on a power trip, with managers on power trips. I wonder if that's what Sam Walton imagined. But unfortunately their food prices are cheaper so I do shop there from time to time.
