2006/10/13 Wal-Mart; The High Cost of Low Price Watched the movie today and I really that it's message is right on the money. More info about it here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473107/
I really can not overstress the point that, in my opinion, Wal-Mart is much too big and influential and it does more harm than good. If you care about your family, relatives, friends, neighbors, community, country and world you should avoid shopping at Wal-Mart.
Whatever your industry or personal endevour, don't complain about your job or situation to me if you patronize Wal-Mart. The retail giant is now much too powerful and they are affecting working conditions, wages and benefits in sectors beyond retailing.
Take a look at the big picture and make the right decision, it's best to shop somewhere else. Choose a responsible retailer that cares about what really matters. Life is about more than squeezing every penny out of everything and everyone and maximizing your share price.
Why do I dislike Wal-Mart?
In addition to the reasons pointed out so well in the movie, there are several reasons I dislike the enormous retail chain. They:
* = My suburban town's landscape and the environment of the smaller towns near mine have been hugely reshaped and damaged by hungry and uncaring growth monsters. There is much, much more to life than one's share price. ** = I personally have never worked for Wal-Mart (and would starve first before I did) but I know people who had well-paying jobs in unionized stores before Wal-Mart came to town and now they have jobs that don't pay as well and they have a hard time providing for their families. I prefer to pay a little more and get good service from people that I know and who really care about their jobs and who use the money that I spend to take proper care of their family. *** = My suburban town now has a Target and Wal-Mart side-by-side. I took my Mother (who formally patronized Wal-Mart) into the Target and she thought it was such a much more pleasant experience and there is virtually no price difference between the two.
