They should have done this a long time ago. Crap family the Waltons. that store is like the night of the living dead - that´s why it had to close in Germany where employees are used to being treated like adults.

You mean we´re going to have to walk through a crowd of ignorant and thoughtless employees at the entrance to the store who are standing there, blocking your way, smoking their foul smelling cigarettes and talking trash about white people in what sounds like English but isn´t really English, only to get inside the store and find the aisles littered with pallets and no one around who can help or will help?
So what? That´s what´s there now!

Buy up WalMart stock.
Oh. Don´t want to be "that involved" with the company? Want to have influence on the basis of pressure alone?
Whatever happened to that "skin in the game" stuff?

I can understand why someone doesn´t want to get up from the dinner table and go to work but people need to realize the world we live in today and if you´re in retail,you can´t afford to let the competition out hustle you.
Personally,I think it´s moronic to storm these stores when you have another whole month to shop but this is a fad that isn´t going away anytime soon. What kills me is a lot of these people are looking to buy stuff for themselves,not other people.This self gifting crap is as loony as the stampedes.

Gee #13...you love being a rumor monger eh?
Yes They gave to Obama but they gave more to Romney. They are considered a conservative company. Just playing both sides of the street which could be a good business interest. I´ve seen several of the big businesses doing the same thing. So please can the rumor mongering. OK?
Hope you don´t drink coffee at Starbucks. That would give you a tag you wouldn´t want.
To the story, most people have no clue about businesses. They think just because a business shows X dollars as profit that they are rich. If anyone believes that they are really stupid. Profits is what goes back into the business to help keep it going and make improvements. Hey if you build a business from one store to a mega enterprise why should you make a large salary? Stop complaining. You only complain because you haven´t got the courage to build your own mega enterprise. Hey if Dave Thomas and Al Copeland, both high school dropouts, or a country bunpkin could build a business (Wendy´s and Popeye´s Chicken, Ky Fried Chicken) and yu can´t do it then shut up and go to work. Just remember, with 23 million people out of work you CAN be replaced.

One more thing. If your Wal-Mart is crappy looking then why don´t you report the Manager to Corporate? It´s the Manager´s responsibility to have a clean efficient store. If you don´t complain to the proper people instead of just running your mouth then hush up and lump it. We have a superstore in this small town. The cleaners are in there every night cleaning up and the stock folks are stocking shelves. Obviously we have good Managers here.

Ozero´s "base" (Democratic Socialists of America/Socialist International) has been attacking Walmart for decades. They do not like anything that makes people satisfied/happy (as Walmart´s fair prices do) since Marxist "community organizing"/spreading dissatisfaction is their game... in the push to UN world government/enslavement of the free world by greedy, corrupt, anti-democracy subhumans. Fire the "liberal" protesters and hire conservatives.

Another example of our modern "entitled" class in the work place. My daughter´s small company just hired a recent college grad. She is appalled that she´s being asked to pitch in and help pull product -- she´d rather "do something productive which will grow the company." Evidentially, quickly filling orders for an on-line company is not growing the company. AND she asked about ObamaCare for her 5-month old baby and her unemployed husband. PHOOEY! Fire every one of ´em.

If you ever get hurt in a Walmart---say an item falls off a shelf and hits you, then you will find out what a crummy company they are. Me? I avoid then on Black Friday because I don´t want to get trampled to death. Wallyworld used to be a good company when Sam ran it. But now, they force manufacturers to move to China or Mexico. Let them go out of business as far as I am concerned.
I know of a marine sgt that had a lawn mower fall on him in Florida. After using tricks and lies to delay a trial, after slandering him and accusing him of doing it on purpose, it came to court. He was a retired master sgt and showed up in his dress blues the day of the trial. Wallyworld settled out of court

This should be interesting. After reading, prior to the election, that the owners of walmart were ONLY supporting obama and dem politicians who, walmart owners claimed, were more in tune with their thoughts and ideals, I understood why there was a different feel to shopping in walmart. Bloggers across the country that had shopped in the stores for years, were starting to describe unpleasant experiences, hostile workers, etc. Now we will see liberals fighting their workers and see what happens.

While we shop Wal-Marts mainly in the SW Missouri 4-state area, I getting sick of the bashing. I really wonder how many of you who make these claims actually shop at Wal-Mart. And if the condition of your stores is sooo bad, complain there not here. Maybe you´re getting the attitude from employees you project. Go ahead bash me, but sometimes I´m really disappointed in L-dotters, especially when I see similar responses anytime the Catholic Church is mentioned.

#23. Your disbelief doesn´t negate that it happened. And in the same area, a woman had a case of Christmas lights fall on her. Wallyworld lied and said it was a single box, edited bar code records, moved managers so they wouldn´t testify, etc.
Dem is the facts. Wallyworld is now a scummy company.

#30, I once worked at Walmart too and heartily concur! As for the several Walmarts in metro Charleston (SC), I find them clean and well-lighted, with friendly and helpful staff. Their shelves are well-stocked and the stores are neat and tidy (except sometimes in the toy department where parents have permitted children to leave toys on the floor).
If your Walmart isn´t like ours, absolutely report the management staff. You can either call 1-800-WALMART (925-6278) or e-mail a complaint to:
https://corporate.walmart.com/contact-us/store-corporate-feedback
And let me underscore what others have said about contributions to Democrats. Seems the the grandson of Sam Walton donated $300,000 to Obama. "The Sept. 10 gift stands in contrast to several other 2012 donations from Walton clan members, who have spent big in favor of conservative and Republican causes for years. An uncle and two aunts, for example, gave five- and six-figure donations to super PACs backing Republican nominee Mitt Romney and one of his GOP challengers, Jon Hunstman Jr." Also mentioned, an aunt who donated over $2m to Bush.

Wal mart is a crummy place to work. My daughter had the highest customer happiness rating in the store (being 6 ft 2 and a blonde bombshell didn´t hurt) but as she approached the years as an employee where they would have to extend benefits they kept cutting back her hours to the point where she had to quit and get another job. A few years later that manager was fired and she was offered her job back, but the damage was done.

I like Wal-Mart. Great place to get everyday stuff at decent prices.
No I wouldn´t shop there for a nice suit or a really good camera. I would pay more for quality and knowledgable customer service.
But for everyday stuff -- groceries, toiletries, school supplies, everyday clothes, etc, you just can´t beat them.
And I hope they fire every one of these strikers. In this economy, with real unemployment in the 20%+ range, it won´t take Wal-Mart more than a day to replace every one of them.
And since these idiots walked off the job, they will be denied unemployment.
Useful idiots for the unions, who aren´t going to do anything to help them once they are unemployed.

Two teachers are today unmasked as key architects of the vile Thatcher ‘death parties’. One is employed at Labour leader Ed Miliband’s old school and has worked with the youngest and most impressionable pupils there, while the other teaches troubled and vulnerable children.[Snip] Craig Parr, a teacher at Haverstock School in north London--nicknamed ‘Labour’s Eton’--was pictured parading with a sick placard which read: ‘Rejoice. Thatcher is dead.’ The 27-year-old special needs teacher and union activist led chants of ‘Maggie, Maggie, Maggie, dead, dead, dead’ at a death party he organised in Brixton, south London, on Monday night which ended in

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes.

The most successful politicians write their own obituaries. I have read a number of Baroness Thatcher´s today and wondered whether the writers would be surprised if they were told she would probably agree with most of what was written, even in the Left-of-centre outlets. This is because successful politicians so dominate the debate on the issues they care about--which were many, in Thatcher´s case--that they determine the course of the argument including the response from opponents. They do this by defining themselves in the public imagination by what they are against rather than what they are for, and leaving only

The chef, who is also the president’s senior nutrition policy adviser, is one of nearly 500 White House employees who are expected to receive furlough notices because of the so-called sequester.

In Brixton, south London, riot police were deployed as the crowds, which had been drinking since 5pm, started to become more aggressive smashing shop fronts and throwing paint bomb. In Liverpool, flares and fireworks were set off outside Lime Street Station by revellers, while in Bristol, seven police officers were injured--one seriously--as violence

Cometh the hour cometh the man. (Or woman). Except it´s not always true, is it? In 1940 we had Winston Churchill. In 1979 we had Margaret Thatcher. But I´m not sure even the most generous apologists for our current Prime Minister would bracket David Cameron in quite the same category. [Snip] One of the key differences between the two lies in their attitude to personal popularity. To the politician it matters greatly, for the primary aim of the politician is to gain and maintain power at regardless of what cost to his principles.

By Sanford’s math and reading of Obama administration stimulus allocation figures, the Wind Turbine Drivetrain Testing Facility received $43 million and “created or saved” an estimated 134 jobs. When divided, the numbers calculate to more than $320,000 per job, Sanford said. Sanford’s comments came during a visit to a Mount Pleasant branch of Lyerly’s Cleaners, where he carried in a load

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius conceded Monday that implementing the Affordable Care Act has been more complicated and frustrating than the Obama administration expected, largely due to Republicans who have opposed the law´s state-based exchanges and Medicaid expansion. "The politics has been relentless and that continues," Sebelius said. "There was some hope that once the Supreme Court ruled in July, and then once an election occurred there would be a sense that, ´This is the law of the land, let´s get on board, let´s make this work.´"

In a stunning end to one of the most aggressively unsuccessful tenures in retail history, JCPenney (JCP) last night announced that CEO Ron Johnson would be leaving effective immediately.

In January 2012, Ullman was unceremoniously removed from the board. Gone with Ullman was any control the Board of Directors had over Ron Johnson and his control of JCPenney resources.

The state of California is reportedly considering legislation that would force group insurance policies to provide infertility treatment for gay and lesbian couples. Two men who have sex with each other for a year and do not produce a baby would be considered “infertile” under the proposed legislation. So would two women having sex. Since biology does not allow those without a uterus to conceive or those without a penis to impregnate, every year-long gay couple in California would potentially be covered by this new provision of California law.
