[QUOTE="hopalong, post: 847463, member: 3320"] Yes I do remember life with out Walmart. I also recall SEARS & ROEBUCK, MONTGOMERY WARDS. STUDEBAKER, NASH, KAISER AND OTHERS. Recall working for less than a buck an hour with no insurance, no benefits, no protection, no 401k plan no 1 1/2 for overtime just take the money and don't complain because there were 3 more guys out there wanting your job. .10 gas Less if they got into a price war. Before McDonald's put the little restaurant on the corner out of business because they had fries and a burger for .39 cents. before Walgreen's basically sent Rexall down. Before Krogers put the mom and pop grocery out of business with bigger and better selection and prices because of the ability to manage better. Before Home Depot put the corner lumber yard hardware store out of business. by better management. Before K mart put the five and dime outta business. Where was the outrage when that was happening? Yet when Sam took the the lead in GOOD sound business practices and built a major corp. out of a corner store, did people get excited. That corp manages better than any other company because they do use good practices including making a profit for the people that invest in them. Some one brought up the point that if they didn't make any money the would just move on! That is true!!! Same as any other business, You do not pour money down a hole in hopes of filling it up. As far as a lot of Walmart's products coming from out of county suppliers, How many parts on that new car are actually made in the U.S.? Hope much of Sears products are made in the U.S. Target????? Napa???? Heck most of Mcd's hamburger comes from out of the country. I do agree Walmarts meat is terrible, in fact I buy very little from Walmart as far as food goes. But I am not about to spend $1.00 when i can walk across the street and get the same product for .39, [/QUOTE]
