Walmart sides with Bloomberg.

Re Walmart, there ids one factor that drives their actions or antics, that is PROFIT, end of story. Most any decision taken, that they come to feel will or might hurt their sacred BOTTOM LINE is, I suspect, subject to change.

Are you claiming this is a bad thing?

I'm sorry, but thats the last reason I would not shop at walmart. You are not entitled to a wage large enough to support a family simply because you work. If you want a job that makes enough money to support a family on that single income then learn some skills, better yourself, and get a better job. You sound just like the Democrats that want to raise minimum wage in IL to 10 dollars an hour. That entire wage increase will be eaten up by retailers raising thier prices to cover the costs. You may make more money but you dollar will be worth less. Thats a net loss in income in many cases.

It is not just about poor wages, it is about how they treat their people overall. They act like slave driers for the few that actually work, and then turn a blind eye to the rest of the lazy employees. When I worked their my tittle was cashier(and I was good at it), but I ended up pulling up the carts in the lot because the guy the hired to do it was mentally challenged and could not figure it out. Did they move him elsewise? Fire him? No, he did nothing while I did his job. The same with the people unloading the trucks, and the people who were supposed to do stock, and the people who put the shelves up. Plus they hire a lot of undocumented workers just because they are cheap. Then there was one guy I worked with that they "forgot" to pay him for 6 months. So yeah...

When Target first came to our town about 15 years ago, they sold ammo, it was odd because it was only Winchester brand and it was regular boxes, but inside blister packs that hung on the rack and you just took them to the front and checked out with all your other merchandise. That was for about 3-4 months after they opened and then it was gone, and I later learned the whole chain had stopped selling ammo.

I can't speak for how your store was run but I can say that what you describe is nothing like the stores in my area and would simply be impossible at the one I'm most familiar with. What makes you think that if you chose 1000 non-Walmart stores around the country you would't see the same issues at some of them?

As far as I can tell, Walmart is one of the few places left where you can start off at the bottom and work your way into a decent middle class career without a degree (and much higher if you do get a degree).

Just to keep this on topic, I notice that they have a pretty good price on the evil 25 round 10/22 (Butler Creek steel lips @ $25) magazines.

uhm, moderators? Have you gone completely to sleep? A Wal-Mart bashing thread accomplishes exactly what to "The High Road" ?

Love'em or hate'em, too many shop at em to bash em.

Perhaps you consider utilizing the report function that notifies the moderators instead of complaining about the staff not psychically realizing this thread offended your sensibilities.

We do have lives and don't monitor every thread on the forum, but if you report the thread, we certainly will make every effort to evaluate your complaint and act in a timely manner.

That said, it seems this thread has outlived its usefulness and has wandered far beyond the scope of firearms discussion.
