Re: Solid Snake Hates: Walmart

I agree with S10 if your man reason for not wanting Wal Mart is because smaller stores will go out of business then you are in the wrong. Those mom and pops can survive they just need to ensure they are priced right and they up their level of service. The mom and pops have the advantage of really giving A plus service where Wal Mart falls short simply becasue of the volume of folks going through that place.

NOW, if you don't want Wal Mart because of the let-knee of other evils they conjure up I can live with that. They are horrible employers and run over seas sweat shops.

I personally don't shop there.

BTW- This subject matter on here has become kind of a beaten dead horse.

It's a little of both. I hate walmart #1 because of how they treat workers and all that crap, but i kind of overlooked it because it didnt affect anyone that i know.

#2 I want to see the mom and pop stores survive but you know they wont. That's personal to me. Walmart will drive them out, that's been their MO since day 1.

F walmart. I'd like a moderator to change the thread title.

But then I might have to merge it with this thread

http://www.thewarpath.net/parking-lo...al-mart-2.html

and that's too much work for voluntary mod camps. Until I get a new contract, I'm slackin' it!

MattyK is on vacation, all we gotta do is throw a molatov under Smootsmack's a** and this dang path is ours!

Whose with me?


Anyone




Anyone?

The proper thread title etiquette for this would have been "F...Walmart"

Do you mean White Snake?


White Snake brings the Heavy Metal.

Solid Snake brings the Metal Gear.



Easy to confuse I guess.

I know who White Snake is I just saw Solid Snake and it sounded like another rock band name. I don't think I'd call White Snakes music heavy metal. Now my neighbors band is Heavy Metal or Speed Metal

I agree they are not really heavy metal but I was trying to tie in the metal gear.

You better off trying to start a 3/50 Project in your community rather than fight Walmart.

Re: Solid Snake Hates: Walmart

This is probably one of the slowest offseasons in recent memory. Something is wrong when the hottest topic on the Warpath is about Wal -Marts impact on rural America and small business.

I suppose next week we can float some witches and have an old fashioned book burning followed by a protest of the Devil's music commonly referred to as Rock and Roll.

Re: Solid Snake Hates: Walmart

like the argument with the chicken and the egg. is it better to have NO job, or work at Walmart, with crappy benefits and small pay?

Re: Solid Snake Hates: Walmart

Walmart's slogan is Save Money, Live Better. While some see a Walmart moving into their town as a intrusion others view it as a life line. Poorer people cant shop at Mom and Pop stores because they cost too much and because taking a bus to multiple stores around town and walking miles to get everything they need will erode their weekends. Walmart also provides tons of jobs for people who would otherwise struggle to find continues work. It may not be someplace where you may be willing to work but it’s a opportunity for a less fortunate person.

People shop at Walmart for its convince, but also to save money and in turn increase their quality of life. Why shouldn’t poor people be able to afford nice things too?
