And yet Wal-Mart has never had a problem finding people willing to work for them. :shock: Who's going to be next? Restaurants that expect their employees to live on the tips people leave?
None of your counter addressed the fact that Walmart has and does contribute to the decline of US manufacturing, in spite of the company's propaganda.All hogwash. Wal-Mart acts rationally as a business. The result of Wal-Mart's rational activity is a range of purchase options for usually-undeserved downscale consumers. Self-styled progressives who never shop at Wal-Mart think it is a good thing to deny choices to the poor. Their own self-esteem is more important.:roll:
I would not change a word of your post in support of mine.eace
...... the fact that Walmart has and does contribute to the decline of US manufacturing, in spite of the company's propaganda.

Denial and avoidance mixed with ad hominem, my such declines in the quality of argument.

Any in particular that hit your nail on its head?
No, this is not true, the largest retailer on earth does influence manufacturing substantially as i already documented.Wal-Mart responds to economic and market trends; it does not create them,
That's a hell of a statement right there. What sort of contribution to the decline of US manufacturing does Wal-Mart make? Be specific.

You are absolutely free to return to the posting that lists the multiple ways Walmart has caused declines in manufacturing:That's a hell of a statement right there. What sort of contribution to the decline of US manufacturing does Wal-Mart make? Be specific.

You are not making fact based argument, you are relying still on rhetoric and ad hominem.
Liar.So what we have here is an employee who just flipped the bird to a customer, and was obviously proud about it.
National coverage? If the story is on the net, it is global.
But this sidesteps my question.....if the story is true, how does it NOT reflect badly on Walmart?
If at base Walmart cares for animals, why then would it fire an employee for letting a customer know that leaving their pet in a closed car could be harmful?
Is your argument that how a company acts should be ignored? And besides, if YOU did not want this story to get MORE attention....why bring it up?
Um, no, it is substantiated in fact.What you documented is a claim of such influence. That claim itself is nothing more than an unsubstantiated assertion.
Liar.

Quote it and show how it is inaccurate.....that would be more that what Jack can do.
Your argument is that CBC decided to run the story to cause anger towards Walmart.....and that the employees fired are liars? Anything to back this up?We don't know at this point if this story has any truth to it. Anyone can give any excuse for being fired, and it doesn't have to be the real reason. It serves to make people angry at Wal-Mart, though, which is doubtless why it was chosen.
Let me get this, Walmart is reported on daily, some of it negative.....and this little story was a planned event...by the Canadian Broadcast Company?The topic of this thread is Wal-Mart, which is why I pointed out the coincidence that said story about Wal-Mart hit the news today. It seemed an appropriate choice. BTW, I don't believe in coincidences, nor do I shop at Wal-Mart. I prefer to shop at local businesses that support the sport teams in our town. :thumbs:
I am glad you are so pleased with subsidizing their work force. On average, any county where their is a Wal-Mart; $250,000 in taxes are required to subsidize the existence of their employees. You don't think a person that works 40 hours a week is entitled to a living wage? You support the idea that Billion Dollar corporations should have their labor force subsidized by the tax paying public? Yes I expect ever employer to pay a living wage so we the tax payers don't have to. It's not about the employee. I need my lawn mowed so why don't you pay someone to come and mow it for me since your so in favor of subsidizing other people's wealth.

The link doesn't? Since that is as far as you got, I'm afraid there isn't much I can do for you.That link makes no sense.
Hmm.....articles....Secretary of States.....lots of things confuse you.Kerry quotes?
Just your comment about how towns should stop threatening them.
I said I would not change a word. You identified precisely why Wal-Mart is able to provide unprecedented choices to downscale consumers.eace
No; restaurants doing far fewer covers, and the tips are not only diminishing in percentage as people scrimp on "non essentials" but they're pooled to offset line cooks, dishwashers, bussers, etc, who the restaurateur needs to leverage in getting everyone down to the lower "tipped employee" minimum, not to mention it's the only way to make payroll on the slow steady march toward, "THE SPACE FOR LEASE."
Just another beautiful day in Supply Side lalaland, where letting markets pay squat is nirvana come to earth. Yippee for the righty nincompoops and their economic studies on AM radio!!!
