Hmmmm....suggest it to Grado and you may get a (very small) cut of the profit. Think of it....a Target exclusive! You'd have your photo up along that of Michael Graves or Thomas O'Brien. The Target babes will be all over you!!

LOL, how true this is... Here in Reno practically NOONE speaks English at WalMart. Sounds horrible I know, but that's how it is.

They have killer prices on groceries though...

...And Target gets my business for most everything else.

Call me stupid, but what is "MILF"?

They all have the choice to get a job somewhere else. I don't understand why everyone hates Wal*Mart so much? Ok their store is nasty and the people who work and shop there are equally nasty, but why hate the place. I don't like the store, so I never shop there, but I am not going out of my way to bring them down. Think about it this way, the thousands of people employed by Wal*Mart would be out of a job and without income if the company no longer existed. I think they would prefer to have their job.

If you don't like the place, don't shop there. I don't.

WalMart has almost single-handedly forced American buisness to seek offshore production. they are "distributors" but they are the ones that decide manufacting prices. decide for yourself man

In either store the best hiding place is in the middle of the circular clothing racks.

Can't say I'll be shopping at Walmart that much anymore. Not that I have a problem with homosexuals, but IMO Walmart is in the business of selling products, not politics.

As I said before, if you don't like them, then don't shop there. I don't give them business.

EDIT: I have to admit that after reading those two things I have the urge, to tell others not to shop there. Good thing I never do.

Walmart has almost 2 million employees, how many of them do you think have medical/dental insurance?

As a former employee I'm going to say very very few. Everyone starts off as part time at Walmart and they'll work you up to 34.99 hours if they have to, but they'll do everything they can to make sure you don't get 35+, even in the peak holiday season. If I remember corectly, you're supposed to be elgible for a full time position after a year of service. Usually, however, they wouldn't offer you a full time position, you'd pretty much have to fight for it. Even after that, you'd still have to fight for your benefits, which could take several more months.

All that piled onto the fact that wages are dismal to begin with, and it's really not worth your time unless you don't even have a high school education.
