JUST FOR FUN: Where are all the Wal-Marts?
Posted: Jun 25 2007 12:48 AM
JUST FOR FUN

An interesting subject arose in another forum today.  I am hoping all of you will help answer a question.  Even if you don't shop at this store, we just want to know if any exist in your community.  Please respond with answers of which imply either they do exist or they don't.

Is there a Wal-Mart in your community?

I have learned that Wal-Mart has gone global.  Do they have them in your country?  Are they a popular store?  How are the prices?  What is the quality like?  What other stores are located inside your Wal-Mart?

This should be interesting.

Well, we have two super Wal-Marts in our community.  They seem to be a more popular store with competitive low prices.  The quality of items ranges from very poor to about the same at other similar stores to acceptible.

We have McDonals, Optometrist, Hair Salon, Nails Etc. and a Family Portrait shop inside ours.

I would say that most of our community shops there for part of their needs, but not exclusively.

Wal-Mart impacted our city by causing a lot of little mom and pop stores to close such as:  clothing, hobbies, groceries, and electronics.  But, the city has seem to have adjusted to them being there.  They do seem to provide a lot of jobs.

Hey Joe

We got a Wal-Mart supercenter.  They closed down our K-mart, for lack of business. 

Wal-mart is a good place to shop at, but only after midnight til about 7am...when most everyone is home where they should be.

We have a Blitz sale every year day after thanksgiving, and the folks go crazy. The customers start getting set up at about 10pm the night before (thanksgiving night), and bring their pillows and blankets. The workers have to run them off the aisles so they can stock the freight.

They sat up at the Electronics dept with their lawn chairs and block the back doors where the freight is coming out on the pallets.  And when the blitz merchandise is coming out, they attack the pallets, and the workers usually don't make it to the floor with a full pallet.  Sometimes the pallet is empty, so they just turn around and take the empty pallet back.  And return with another full pallet till it's empty.

Wonder how I know, I worked their for 6 long grueling years.  I made good money, but it liked to have killed me...I worked every part of that store.  I was one of their flunkies.  From the back room, to stocking to cashier, to CSM (customer service manager).

I will shop there, but would never work there again.  I've seen somethings you wouldn't believe people would do, out in public.  It amazes me how stupid and ignorant people can be.

They leave their frozen pizzas or hamburger meat, they decide they don't want, in the Apparrell (clothes) and when these things start thawing out, it's not good.  Especially when we don't find them right away. (just a few things we found)

They have to lock the fitting rooms at night, because people have used them for bathrooms, right there on the floor....Glad I didn't work maintaince (nice word for clean up crew). 

If you ever want to see a show, try the Blitz sale one night...I'd say take a camera, but Wal-mart doesn't allow camera's inside the store.

Anyway, thought I'd give you my input on Wal-mart.....Great place to shop, a b___h to work for. 

Bj

Hello Joe,

We don't have a Wal-Mart in our community ... its too small.  The city of Kamloops, BC, Canada is about 3/4 of an hr away and they have it. 

It sounds pretty much the same as you the ones you have.  Everything from soup to nuts and everything in between!  Ours has a MacDonald's too.  It doesn't have a Hair Salon, but has all the hair products!

Quality and price depends on what you're in the market for.

Interesting topic to see if they're the same world wide.

Sincerely,

Terry
