It's not just their employees they bully.
Suppliers don't get treated much better.
"If you want us to buy from you, you'd better not sell this same product to any other supplier in our market area."
There are a handfull of items we buy from them, and they are not available anywhere else, within a 50 mile radius at least. Half gallon coffee creamer is one example. Can buy the same brand, in smaller containers, in a dozen places, but not the half gallon (economy) size.
They created a new way of retailing, and I'd say they paid big bucks to high priced lawyers, to be sure their toes were on the line of legality, but not over the line.
They push smaller, good businesses under.
The big box mentality, a natural growth of capitalism, which leads to consumerism.
Some good, some bad.
Don't expect any technical advise from the clerks. They don't understand the question, but they'll give you an answer.
Their mentality pushed many of our manufacturing jobs overseas.
We've got lots of families that used to feed their families on sewing factory jobs, now it's Food Stamps, thanks to walfart.
We've got lots of families that used to have a little health insurance BEFORE Walfart, now they're on medical assistance.
Walfart is a prime example of corporate welfare.
Benefits stink, but not to worry, the government will suppliment.
Probably 10% of my social service caseload works at walfart.
If you like wafart, you'd better like wefare, they go hand in hand.
If a single parent family (have children) has income from only walfart, excellent chance they are on welfare (food stamps and medical assistance). I've even got some families where both parents work there, still get food stamps.
Corporate welfare.
