Wal-Mart is an evil conglomerate 'big box' corporation bent on world accessorization of cheap and easily-breakable doodads.
I am far too lazy to go into major detail about this total corporation.
I can tell you that our local 'Superstore' gives 200 people a job 24 hours a day
''(With minimum benefits, minimum pay, having to work off of the clock, and at ridiculous hours where they cannot see their family. Most of those employees are single welfare mothers who are forced to put up with these situations out of desperation.)''

It is impossible to cross the bridge that leads from the Wal-Mart parking lot back into the main street of my town...
Luckily there is a freeway separating it from town.
Going to Wal-Mart in the daylight is like getting strep throat, its highly congested and kind of painful... with enough loud metal tho, you can scream it out and make the experience painful but enjoyable

My friend made about 2000 dollars a month working in the back of Wal-mart unloading trucks and stocking shelves in the middle of the night.
''(As opposed to the children that make their products for .12 cents an hour)''
I shop at Wal-Mart constantly. I love the lowest price ever on many items that middle men have been capitalizing on for a long long time... It reminds me of buying drugs: Do you want to talk to your drug dealer? or the drug GROWER???
''(The prices are low because they are a superpower corporation that can afford to undercut the competition in order to monopolize the market; ie.- ALL markets.. considering Wal-Mart superstores sell everything from oil changes to dental floss. Their distributors are companies with very low safety standards both for the products and the workers who make them..)''
I do not like how easily all the furniture seems to break. Many items in Wal-Mart are NOT good and you must use it only for what it is good for:
Convenience. Everything is still even cheaper online
EXCEPT maybe FOOD which is cheap and well cared for at all times [pastries made fresh every morning @5 a.m.]
Eye Exams and Contact lenses [maybe not true... but very quick]
''(Well cared for? I can guarantee you Wal-Mart goes to great lengths to deregulate their distributors in order to provide you that convenience and everyday low prices.)''
i might go in there to find people
''(that are overweight, on welfare, miserable, disconnected, half-asleep, depressed, angry, fighting and killing each other over "everyday low prices" on dvd players and an xbox.)''
Areas in CA are mving to prevent the building of giants that include by default SUperCenterz... ha ha hAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
