If you dont like it at walmart- LEAVE!!! Walmart has the best prices

Even you gotta know that this is going to change once there are no
alternatives.
They can treat their employees the way they do because they employ
people with few alternatives.
What do you think is going to happen when the shoppers have no
alternative?

As dynamic as the US economy is, I'm amazed that people think this is
the scenario we face. Most items that are sold at Walmart can be
found at Kmart, Home Depot, Lowes, Costco, Sams Club, local super
market, etc. History has tought that it's more likely a new business
model or competitor will be the undoing of giants like Walmart.
Anyone remember what's happened to companies like IBM and GM?

As for their employees, they are free to find jobs elsewhere. With
unemployment under 5%, jobs are available for those that want them.

I'm a frequent shopper at Walmart and find that they have good products
at favorable prices. All they are doing is competing in today's world
economy, that they don't control.
