Would you agree that the 3 entities below have created public
impressions that are hard to change?

1) Wal Mart
2) Used car dealers
3) Law firms
Wal Mart has more customers than any business in the world.

Used car dealers don't make any money unless they attract
customers
either.

Lawyers are the primary contributors to Democrats.
You're not much of a dancer.
No, I demonstrated that you have contempt for success and
supplication
for the John Edwardses of the world.
You demonstrated that once again, you've danced around someone's
question because to answer it honestly, you'd step in quicksand.
Your question was an AVOIDANCE NON-ANSWER TO TO QUESTIONS I POSED.
No it was not. The point was that every business creates its image, or
as
Harry pointed out, earns it, for better or worse. The 3 in the list
are
perfect examples. Wal Mart's got a miserable reputation with as many
people
as those who love the place. Used car dealers are seen as snakes, much
the
same as lawyers. You are fully aware of all this.

The major oil companies are no different. They offer us bull****
explanations for the price swings. If you kids gave you similar
answers,
there would be consequences, assuming you were a competent parent.

Horse pucky. Wal Mart has been a target of the liberals, like Harry and
the
major media, because it won't unionize.
I don't give a damn about their union situation. I'm talking about the
customer experience, and the fact they they lie about their prices, and
that "made in America" charade.

I have never had a problem with their pricing and purchase from them
quite regularly.

I never have a problem with wal-mart, either. I simply never shop there,
and I hold my nose when I drive by a stooperstore of theirs in another
county...all those badly handled perishable groceries and the crappy fast
food they fry permeates the local atmosphere there.


Ours does not sell perishable groceries and we purchase all of ours through
a locally owned grocery store or neighborhood stands (veggies) during the
summer. No fast food at ours either. The employees are not in handcuffs
at their workstations and are normally cordial and happy.

If you never shop at your local Wal-Mart how do you know the perishables are
'poor handled' and that the fast food is 'crappy'?

I am not trying to start an argument with you but you are obviously against
them because the employees who work at their stores do not want to unionize.

BTW: My son is a union employee working part time at the local grocery
store we shop at. ;-)



Because Wal-Mart fresh food operations (meat, poultry, produce, fish -at
the stoooperstores) are frequently cited for sanitary and safety
violations.

The fast food? I can sometimes smell it as I drive by. It's mostly fried
garbage.

My issues with Wal-Mart go far beyond its so far successful attempts to
keep its employees from unionizing. Hell, I was a small part of the
successful effort around here to keep out a Wal-Mart stooperstore.

We have three large supermarket chain stores in the area, plus at least
three indys. The chain stores are competitive and don't have the ongoing
sanitation problems. The indys cater to the carriage trade and charge
higher prices. One of them has absolutely the best dairy-based clam
chowder I have ever had. I asked the fish guy there about it, and he
says it is prepared fresh daily by his cousin, who does not work for the
store.

There's nothing I want to buy that Wal-Mart sells that I can't buy
somewhere else at a competitive price.
