Who are you to decide if they pay enough?  They pay all of their employees above minimum wage.  My brother works for Food Lion, he doesn't get health benefits.  Why don't you attack Food Lion?

Dont like the salaries and benefits at wal-mart. DONT WORK THERE!!!

Dont like imigrants stealing your jobs because they work harder than you and for less money.  Tough crap.  Maybe youre the one who doesnt deserve to live in america.

The point is that wal-mart is for students and teens and if you want a real job you probably should of gotten an education.

Wal-Mart is a corperation. So is Disney. They both employ sweat shops, unnecessary bulk layoffs, and other immoral practices to maximise profit. Corperations are immoral by design. That's capitalism, if you don't like it, try voting in a president that doesn't **** the lower class over. You can't hate corporations, but then not support government funded health care, raising minimum wage, and more obtainable education. They're the same evils.

I won't even walk into Wal-Mart, I've boycotted them. I'm willing to pay higher prices to support my morals. I go to stores that have some form of union.

No, they don't.  They pay EVERYONE the same starting wage.  $5.40 an hour is what I would get.  After 6 months they gave me a raise of $.40.  The only times after that when you can get a raise is if you're extremely good at your job and your manager decides to give you one.  I've never seen that happen to anyone.  And the other time is every year on your hiring date you get another $.40 raise.

My aunt has worked at the Wal-Mart in my town since it first opened.  16 years ago.  She started out as minimum wage, which was a lot less back then.  Got less of a raise when they gave them out.  And Wal-Mart doesn't make up those lost wages that people would've gotten back then.  So even the people who have worked at Wal-Mart the longest are getting crap wages.

And you know how it's so bad?  The pay is far too little for what you have to deal with.  The customers, the associates, the work...  Horrible!

Hi, I'm an assistant manager, I make $7.50/hour. I have a friend who works at Walmart, she is a cashier and she makes $8.25/hour

I live in Michigan.

You suck.

Life is all about money, how much you can get and what can you spend it on, why should the Walmart corporation give free handouts? They put in their time.

Also these fish are known for there abilitie to "fight" and breath air.

Yeah and thats why I hate wal-mart. Also heres another thing. I once bought an aquarium there and let it filter out for 1 week so then I come back to go get the fish now heres the bad part. The aquarium is suppose to hold 2-3 fish but then when I went there they said only 1! So I returned the fish tank for my money back. My betta fish only lived for 2 months because it was old and sick.
Next time im going to a real pet shop.

Wal-Mart is decent for finding DVDs and games. While their selection isn't fantastic, I can usually find something there for a very decent price compared to other stores. Everything else in Wal-Mart sucks.

I'm starting to buy pretty much online anymore. You can still get ripped off online if you're dumb, but so many stores are at your fingertips. Everything online is usually cheaper as well.

Wal Mart is a good all around store I think, its like Hannaford and K-Mart all together. Wal Mart used to just be a department store but figured they were good enough to grow to groceries too.

Walmart is okay for basic items...
Like spices are like 50% cheaper than my chain food store (Pick 'n' save) for the same brand. I would never by walmart brand items for certain things (like oil filters) or short-life food (meat, eggs, milk, etc). I saw some wal-mart brand cheesecake and it was infested with bugs.

I've hated walmart since I was like 9. I don't really know why I did back then...
But walmart is so dirty... most stores have mice in them. I've heard them chewing on crap in the food department...

I would never buy clothes from there... or electronics... or anything I actually care about. TP that you'll just wipe your ass with and throw away? Sure.

More often than not, I'll avoid walmart. And I'll rather pay an extra $5 to buy a game from Best Buy than walmart.

Plus... you should never buy cds from there. They are edited and now... they hardly even show it on the cds anymore. The text used to be a big sticker, now it's some little words off to the side. Hardly even noticable.
