...... yet the people flock there..... I used to work there ! ... and now won't even shop there, that place is so shifty, before I left I was so disgruntled I took revenge.

Understood! However, there are people, such as myself & 75yr old mother, who are on a limited income. I would LOVE to buy nothing but American - I can not afford to. I hate that everything in Walmart has 'made in China' on it. But what can I do????? I must go where I can afford to shop. That is Walmart or Kmart. I buy some things - on sale - at local grocery store. But most of the items I need are less $$ at Walmart....

So ironic as they built their business in the eighties with the "Made in the USA" mantra.

I really wish more people would have Intastellaburst's view on it. Wal-mart does hurt America. We pay now or we pay later. The drug issue is a clear example of this.

The bill is currently due for twenty-five years of a cheap consumer society. Cheap products. Cheap Credit. Expensive consequences.

I understand how some people Need, to save as much money as they can. Thats one of the reasons Sam Walton built it. To save americans as much as possible by buying in bulk..... now the company has become something else entirely, .... the biggest company in the world, ... they can make or break manufacturer's. .... unfortunately right now their only breaking american one's.

..... oh, and I can never commit my deeds into writing. I heard they got close to discovering me, I wouldnt want to be on their bad side, .... they would press charges for lifting a pack of cigarettes.

I will definately have to watch this as I get some of my meds from Wal-mart, it maybe fortunate none of them are on the $4 list.
