Used to work at Wal-Mart in a management position. They are a sinister company portraying themselves as a 'family and community oriented company'.
Let me tell you they are anything but. They destroy families by forcing people to work long hours even on statutory holidays.
They try to get rid of employees who are legitimatly on WSIB. (I've been told by senior management there to try to get rid of so and so and document his every move.)
They pay wages that NO family could possibly live on. (Family and community oriented?)
They destroy companies that do pay a decent wage because they can't compete with 'Slave-Mart'.
If you legally vote in a union they close down the store.
They collect personal information on their employees (who they date, what they're like, etc) to use in case a union does try to get in the store. (Seperate, divide, conquer.)
Their number one logo for employee's : "Respect for the individual." A complete farce, brainwash, propaganda or whatever you want to call it.
Wal-Mart is pure evil.

fucking right. Good to see some people are enlightened enough to know what's up with Walmart.

Unfortunately, they do good enough business to stay operating in Canada and in Europe. I don't mean to offend anyone, but go into a Walmart one time and just LOOK at the people who shop there! Usually uneducated trailer trash or mothers with their ten kids trailing along who don't know the difference between left and right wing politics, let alone the evils of the Walmart corporation.

Let's hear an explanation. I've worked there long enough in a management position to know all the ins and outs.

"Let's get it on".

(edit) Oops, one post too late..

that could be just London's Walmarts though. But seriously, the clientelle at the Walmart in my neighbourhood (a new subdivision but mostly blue collar in the extreme east end) wasn't exactly stellar.

I only ever used to buy DVD's at Walmart since they were, to be honest, a bit cheaper. Not now though...I'll pay the extra dollar at Best Buy.
