Playing Loose With The Truth

Let me see if I understand this correctly.  Sometime prior to
11/9/03 Walmart and Proctor Gamble was running some type of test, presumably to check theft by either its employees or customers.

Then on April 30, 2004, Walmart released a statement that they were using product code tags.  Simetime prior to 10/14/05 Walmart said there were no product code tag readers on the sales floor.

Now to clear this all up we are to go to a web site which explains someone’s position on this issue.

First of all, where is the lie?  Next.  Who cares? Walmart is trying to control theft.  I personally resent having to pay higher prices because someone else is stealing.  Let them put electronic product control tags on everything.  I have nothing to hide.

Maybe you’d care more if you wore lipstick.  Pucker-up sweetie!

Everyone loves technology when they think it’s going to improve or save lives (ie. stemcell research).  But when technology takes one tiny step into encrouching on your privacy - even though you have a choice to tear off the tag or not buy from Walmart - THEN it’s not so hot.  Make up your mind!!

Personally, shopping at walmart has not been bad experience until moved to Harrison....both my brothers have earned a great living but have adopted the attitude that only those that have money are the “chosen ones”....not a good sign for those in management @ walmart because it gives the impression that their philanthropic “donations” are just a charade for their advertising campaign.  I am very dis appointed in the customer service locally and no one seems to really enjoy what they are doing.  I think that Sam Walton truely cared about the “little people” and did not feel that he was any more priviledged than the greeter at the door...he believed in customer service.....not lining pockets

Charlene.  Exactly what is the problem with the Walmart at Harrison?  I pass through Harrison on occasion and stop at the Walmart.  I have had no problems there whatsoever, or any other Walmart for that matter.

Hold up David, where did you see that this tech was just going to be used to control theft?  What I read is that the tech is going to be used to enhance a (just in time) type inventory from the supplier down to the local store.

“Walmart is trying to control theft.”

I’ll tell you this - as a Walmart employee.

Employees don’t steal - the few that do are gone directly.

The people who steal are illegals - with anchor babies.

Welfare, 4500 dollar tax checks at the end of the year - and free donuts at walmart.

Simply - the truth.

Then again - maybe I’m just a working taxpaying citizen hungry for a donut.

Oh yeah - RFID - radio frequency id tags.

Walmart should put them in donuts and pocketbooks.

Maybe even at the door and in trucks.

With onstar.

Tag people like cattle - tag merchandise like merchandise and tag people like people.

Stupid is stupid does.

Bet that’s the topic of interpretation and logistics as Harvard.

:).

Tag me.

Racist.

Or american citizen.

hrmphh.

You’ve won me over.

You have (you Walmart bastard).

Through intelligence (I’m not talking about Nick - I’m talking about corporate and what they have done).  I see it.

Call it the three-year employee retention and elimination plan - and the survivorship rate at that point.

Then again I’m in grocery.

Here’s another free gift for corporate - which I didn’t plan and came up with - well - just now.

Walmart’s objective as a corporation is to get the greatest quality goods to the greatest number of people - while trying to satisfy three groups of people - management - employees, customers (one in the same) - and shareholders.

What is within Walmarts’ realm as a retailer and supplier, Walmart will control to the BEST of it’s ability.

What is within the governments’ realm as a government and supplier, government should control within it’s ability.

5 groups of people.

And suppliers.

With a conscience.

You can read more into this (don’t).  I thought about all of it; but if I post it; it would be more than five posts.

P.S.  Laurie looks better with make-up, and better without.

I’ve concluded the Waltons’ are human.

One pant leg at a time; dui’s and car accidents and plane accident’s aside.

I wonder if Walton’s concluded that their employees are also human.

I’m ok with my job.

I’ve concluded - I’m human.

Oops - that’s 6 posts.

Seven posts.

Oops.

Are you laughing yet?
