When more American's realize that low price isn't everything and that buying low price only has a direct effect on their jobs things will start to change. One thing is for sure... many Americans are finally starting to get angry and I see that as a very good sign. |

Like to see many more Americans completely reject the Walmart way of doing business. Looks like the anger is building against Walmart and I hope it continues. How many people will shop at walmart just to SPITE the unionists? I did. On Black Friday, even. In at 6:30am, out at 6:42am. I was the only person in line at checkstand 2. Yeah, I walked 1/4 mile to get milk that morning. It's all the way in, on the back wall of the SuperWalmart. If they don't shop at Wal-mart, they will have to shop at other non-union stores so what's the difference? Sadly, I believe that most other markets -are- union shops. They'd have to shop a Mom and Pop (now pakiMom and pakiPop) shop to get non-union. Almost-On-Topic subject switch: (sorry) I did some metalworking today. I replaced a lockset which had self-destructed after just 35 years without lube. You shoulda heard that latch mechanism creak: straight metal-on-metal! -- All of us want to do well. But if we do not do good, too, then doing well will never be enough. -- Anna Quindlen |
