If you hate Wal-Mart sooooo much, why do you continue to shop there?

As a Wal-Mart employee, I constantly hear people say how much they hate the store and the corporation. Yet, there they are in front of me, making a purchase at said store. I don't quite understand this.

You would think if hate a store, you wouldn't shop there. Maybe that's just me.

yeah, I don't understand it either. They hate it like the guy that calls it "Aggramart" or whatever he said....they hate the people that shop there - I guess he hates himself?
It's just a place they can go to complain about.
My favorite customers are the ones that buy some HUGE item and then they get out to their frickin Honda and expect it to fit! LOL!
Or...how about the ones that ask "Will this curtain fit my window"? ummmmm.....i dunno, it's been a while since you've invited me for dinner!
or....how about "Do you work here"? uhhh no, they were handing out these badges out at the front door - you didn't get one?" LMAO!!!
or...."do you deliver"? WHAT?!?!?!
or oh, the ones that ask for a particular item while standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT! and....what do they ALWAYS SAY? "Oh, if it was a snake it woulda bit me!
see....you gotta love it. Don't let em get to you - they are funny if you can look past their ignorance!

I used to work at Wal-mart also and I got the same complaints. I would tell them how the prices were lower else where and that they should go there and not complain to me. I detest when people used to come to me with 10 grocery shoppers to change the prices (equal the price). But in all, you will always get complaints of all kinds. You can do one of two things. Ignore them or quit.

I dont shop there. I found out the same stuff is sold elsewhere.

shrugs...im a walmart employee too,but im not so easily upset when people say they dont like walmart....shrugs i dont like shopping in my own walmart because its always too busy and never enough cashiers and you cant find many floor associates because they are on the registers trying to help the cashiers, but i have to because 1) the groceries stores and (clears throat) the other dept store i wont name cost too much and i dont have money to waste 2) id waste gas trying to got to military base commisary thats out of my way 3) our Target store nearby doesnt have a groceries dept....id pretty much say that would sum it up for everyone else as...shrugs..let them talk,i just smile sweetly and tell them very nicely to have a nice day...because im always enjoying my day ..i dont let bad customers get to me. ive got other things to worry about . : )

because it's freaken cheap!! and everything is all in one place. instead of having to go to a sporting goods store, and electronic store, clothes store, grocery store, toy store and a pharmacy, they can get all those things in one store. it saves gas money and it's very convenient.

People talk with their mouths but spend with their wallet, wal mart can offer the identical item for cheaper because of its size and economies of scale. Simply that.

they wouldn't shop there if they hated it.they're being stupid.i love walmart

Well first off Sam's vision was to have a big busines for the American people by the American people.

When Wal Mart first opened they only sold items made by Americans. In turn giving all these small mom n pop shops a new place to sell their products. This made Wal Mart into most of what they are today...basic good ole down home morals...take care of your fellow man.

But once Sam died the company turned into a normal corporate giant that is just a greed monger. They no longer allow small people to sell items in their stores. Sure you can bid your item to their sales department along with the other 140,000 products that are bid weekly by major manufacturers from all over the world. Where and how can a small mom n pop get into this? They can't.

So now the mom n pop lost their shop location, their customers and now the last source to sell their products too. They are out of business and now working for Wal Mart most likely making minimum wage and working just under full time hours so as not to be allowed benefits and insurance.

So now the mom n pop that use to have a nice business, a nice home, a nice income, health insurance, etc. Now they work for minimum wage and live in an apartment with no insurance and barely scraping by week to week.

Not to mention the fact that Wal Mart is bringing in items from mainly China. This in turns sends millions and even billions of dollars into their economy instead of ours. Their workers are making the money and their companies are making the money, not ours. Why? Cause that 20 cents off is just that important to Wal Mart.

And past all that....all giants fall. Gold Circle use to be big, they collapsed...Toys R Us was once a giant...they have collapsed to but a single cell organism now.

Now you might think...so what...they collapse. But think of how many jobs they employee. How many factories, dock workers, warehouse workers, semi drivers, etc all over the world that would be out of work over night.

One company that gets this big, this large and has this much power is never good. They start to bend the market and trend in their favor to make even more money. But that money train cannot keep up forever.

The bigger and bigger one gets, the more n more it takes to feed the beast. Sooner or later there is a food shortage for the beast and that is when the collapse starts.

Wal Mart as big as they are, and how they are growing, whey they collapse they have a high high risk of sending most countries into economic hardships. Some predict USA would be hit as hard as the 1920's depression.

To buy from them only supports their growth and collapse in time. For people to slowly stop shopping them now will allow them to restructure into a small more stable business with a less likelyhood of collapse.

Like a race car....it can only go at top speed for so long without breaking down or actually blowing up. Where if you slow it down and take it easy, it can drive on and on and on without much problem.This is why I DontSHOP THERE!

I call the place AGGRAMART...it's so aggravating to shop there... I despise it... sometimes I feel I have to...because AGGRAMART either has the lowest price and the best selection of say TV's and many other items, car batteries , baot accessories etc.... You have to shop AGGRAMART or pay a lot more and have a lot less choice.... I shop anyplace else that I can when I can... I don't let a dollar or two get in the way, but there are such savings that you have to bite the bullet and do it...
I hate it... I hate the people that shop there, they are forever in your way, it doesn't matter what aisle you try to get down, you have to manuever around some idiot...
The lines to check out are usually too long...
There are 30 check out counters with 7 working, as a typical example.... People that act like they are on tranquilizers working as cashiers...
AGGRAMART sux....it makes me think of doing heinious acts on people every time I shop there...
