Wal-Mart Says “No” to Food Banks

This article is a joke.  Whoever is running WMW (Screwed) needs to fire the Research Team that posted this.  Wal-Mart can not donate expired or near expired food because of people like WMWers.  It would be nice if they could donate the food with no liability but that not the world we live in.  Everyone is waiting for a reason to sue giant corporations (especialy Wal-Mart).  What does this article mean by “profit protection”? 
The argument that Wal-Mart puts “local grocers” out of business is getting old.  Its the customers that put them out of business.  If “local grocers” are shutting their doors then it is because their customers would rather shop at Wal-Mart. 
It looks like WMW needs a new Research Team.

i agree big t.anyone else does this crap no one says a darn thing.the other grocers put themselves out of business by refusing to lower their riddiculous prices to attract more shoppers not walmart thats what all these idiots like screwed by,ddrb,and these other clowns are not smart enough to understand because the only education they ever got was third rate pathetic govt and ufcw union propaganda which is never honest.

Actually Matthew I believe that Screwed is a smart guy.  He just doesnt like the big kid on the block.  He know most of what he says is BS.  There is nothing Wal-Mart can do positive in his eyes.  If Target or KMart or anyone esle was as big a success as Wal-Mart then he would be attacking them.  Im not so sure about ddrb.  I actually think she is dumb enough to believe what is posted on this site.  She is a follower.

You guys need to hang out a shingle:

Big T & matthew’s On Line Psychoanalysis

I know Ken V.  I could be wrong.  Maybe Screwed is stupid.  I just dont believe he is.

Big T - that is the most intelligent analysis I have read on WMW in a long time (if ever).

Nothing more needs to be said.

Since when is it Wal-Mart (or any other company) responsibility to supply food banks? I don’t remember that law!

I know they use to supply the shelter and food banks here nicely until they were sued. SO they don’t do it anymore.

Wal-Mart is the new kid on the block for success, they are not any more powerful then Sears was in their day a few short decades ago.

I know everyone bitches that they don’t pay enough. Fine they don’t. Go work somewhere else! Oh wait these people are probably uneducated or unskilled. So they expect executive wages from wal-mart. They talk about their health insurance being so expensive .... $300. Wow I wish mine was that cheap. Double that, twice a month for a family of four.

Remember folks every empire falls; there will be a time when it’s their turn. But until people stop being such cheap assess, looking for the best deal. Places like Wal-mart will be around. Sam Walton had the exact same opportunities as anyone else. You don’t like it build a better mousetrap.

No one forces ANYONE to work or shop there. They all choose to.

BTW .. I’m in a major city and we have no wal-mart.

I don’t know for certain all the details about the food banks, however I will comment as such.

Yes WM could easily donate (give) food that was about to expire, dented cans they throw into the dumpster.  One potato could be bad in a 3 or 5# bag and they all go in the dumpster.  Maybe or orange or apple with a bad spot.

Shucks when we were kids we cut out the bad and the good.
I know many large grocers who do give all of this type of produce and canned goods to food banks.  They are notsued.
Some grocers put out big bags of produce about to go bad for a $1.00 or so.  I have bought and more than got my money’s worth.  Was I supposed to sue for the good deal??

I don’t know the reason of WM’s actions, however one cannot ever convince me that a strong, binding legal instrument could not be written that would protect WM.  Golly gee, they have enough lawyers to write a couple hundred page contract that would protect them.

Actually I believe I could write one in just a page or two.
As much as entities love to sue deep pockets, Wal-Mart, can anyone tell me of one case of WM being sued for donating to a food bank?

This has been a “bone of contention” of mine for years with WM as to why they don’t donate it.  I have personally seen much produce tossed out, that I and many others would have taken home and used.  I even suggested years ago that it be given to farmers or garden centers to work as compost, rather than “into the dumpster, flip, flop it goes, and cuddly squished together”.

I know that when I lived in the Portland area local grocers would donate bread to the DHS offices once a week.  They had it all spread out on a table for the clients to take.  And it was still fresh.  French bread, rolls, bagels, etc.

Hmmm.... Yet they’ve donated something to the affect of $21 million last year by the reclamations to America’s Second Harvest.  That’s a heck of a lot of dented cans and torn boxes on bags of cereal.

Well that is wonderful news.  You can bet a good portion of this food will feed the children of Walmart employees!

WalMart- We are a poverty engine and must preserve the poverty economic ecology we create. We are ‘love of money’ psychopaths that recycle the poor and scam the taxpayer suckers. We profit off impoverished customers and a poverty workforce of economic conscripts as we betray America with Global Labor Arbitrage. We cannot afford to help the poor with ‘living wages’ or real healthcare benefits and we sure as hell aren’t going to donate food to the poor that deprives us of income from the poor. That would put us out of business and defeat the multibillionaire Walton interest.

Hey ‘Sage’, where is the hundred you owe?

Does being a Panamanian swamp weasel also make you a little welsher ‘Sage’?

From Romans 13: 13-14
13Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Let us make provision for getting America loaded with Ron Paul and ‘Sage’. After all it was “Dr.” Timothy Leary as another earlier Libertarian clown.

PAY UP! YOU WEASEL!

Yet they’ve donated something to the affect of $21 million last year...

Is that their cost of the food or what they writing off as a charitible donation?

Wal-Mart has no problem avoiding liability in any other area, why should donating food be any different? I’ll bet if they put thei crack battalion of legal beagles on it they could come up with something better than generating the headline:

WAL-MART SAYS “NO” TO FOOD BANKS

Yes.  It sickens us to toss away 300-600 dollars a day in produce, or 1000 in meat down the compactor.  SOme meat okay if you know what to cut out.  Apples with a bruise.  But the question is at what cost.  Who knows how the fruit was bruised.  Double check with any large supermarket.  It all goes in the trash.

Just Some “Bitch’in” To Get My Day Off to a Good Start!

“Nothing more needs to be said.” ~bbrd

Great!  Then we won’t be hearing from you anymore I take it.

“Wal-Mart is the new kid on the block for success.” ~HW in Utah

Says who?  What is your standard for “success?” Some people might consider Whole Foods, Costco, or possibly even Microsoft as being more successsful than Wal-Mart.

“they are not any more powerful then Sears was in their day a few short decades ago.” ~HW in Utah

I’m wondering where you get your “information?”

“No one forces ANYONE to work or shop there.” ~HW in Utah

The Pro Wal-Mart Trolls have been using that one for years.  Could you be more original?

“But until people stop being such cheap assess, looking for the best deal....” ~HW in Utah

You get BONUS POINTS for that one HW.  You described the “typical” Wal-Mart shopper very well!

“I’m in a major city and we have no wal-mart.” ~HW in Utah

Is shopping at a Wal-Mart against the principles of the Mormon faith, HW?

SanDiegoView,

Wikipedia is only as reliable as the person who wrote the entry.

Anyone remember that kid from Kentucky???

SOme meat okay if you know what to cut out.

Okay, TD, obviously you don’t work for Wal-Mart, since one of the great bones of contention, here is that WM has no meat cutters…

That aside, which store/chain do you work for?

Great!  Then we won’t be hearing from you anymore I take it.

Doubtful, Mr. Screwed - I like hanging-around here for the same reasons you do—to stir-up stuff.

Some people might consider Whole Foods, Costco, or possibly even Microsoft as being more successsful than Wal-Mart.

Mircrosoft, yes.  As for those other two, not yet...maybe in 10 years, but not now.

Could you be more original?

We, collectively, will be “more original” when you begin to do the same, sir.  Your routine is tired and worn-out.

In other words, everyday people could care less about you or your “cause”.

As for the rest of your material, I know it was directed at “HW in Utah”—and I am looking forward to his response.

bbrd-

‘Sage’ was cowardly in not accepting the Wikipedia reference quote. So I gave another quote from ‘another site’ from Ron Paul himself in previous presidential ambitions-

The Case for Drug Legalization

“Urban street crime, which terrorizes millions of Americans, is largely the creation of the U.S. drug laws. That alone is reason enough for legalization.”

‘Sage’ just does not do his homework even on his own presidential wishful thinking.

Sage owes WMW a C Note. Please make the note read; ‘Lost bet to SanDiegoView’ on the check. Thanks!

Actually I do work for wallyworld.  The meat can be given away if you know to cut away the brown spots that show up.  Most people won’t know to do it.

The new package situation sucks.  Meat blooms before the 5 days are up.  It’s walmarts attempt to make people think we still cut meat.

TD,

So, I am to take it Wal-Mart still has in-store meat cutting equipment at some of their stores?

SDV,

Try selling that statement to someone living in the inner city whose 12-year old was killed in a drive-by shooting/botched drug deal.

While I, myself, have not publicly supported Dr. Paul, his internet fund-raising efforts have definitely put him on a lot of radars.

And isn’t it you, yourself that believes everything you see on the internet must be true?

Indeed!  This Is The Question When It Comes to Wal-Mart

“But the question is at what cost.” ~TD in MD

Always Low Prices...Always.  Save Money.  Live Better.

Forget the price.  What’s the cost?

SDV—I have not forgot the “exact” bet I made with you.
You did not accept and please quote and read it exactly as written.  You are the fraud Madam, as you twisteed the original post above.  Read what it was orginally for and then the second part of it.

Yes I read the l988 letter (I have not checked its accuracy as it is 20 yrs old) recent statements are what are important.

However you SDV who is the jerk of jerks (and I hate to name call) and spin everyhting your way, let me state this.
You refused to answer the first part of the bet and never could prove anything I ever wrote was fraudulent.  You ignored this as you usually do.  I then added a second part if you were interested and you never did post back until you finally found something back in 1988 or so.

You love to put people down so you pay the $l00.00 on the first portion that you lost to the charity of my choice, The Galilean’s Childrens Home of Liberty Kentucky and; I will gladly pay the $100.00 to WMW for the second part of the bet that you never accepted.

As most of the readers know on here you are despicable in what you write to put others down, and as a Christian I try to write always in that vein.  You as a phony Christian spin Scripture to fit your agenda.

Perhaps I could be wrong but I would bet most of the intelligent readers of WMW would agree with me, however they don’t post on here because you immediately attempt to put them down with your diatribe,

I have saved many of your false accusations and name calling of various posters with whom you take exception.
I really doubt if anyone has learned anything from you over the last many months other that the 3 or 4 who are of the same ilk.  I do not put Ken V into this category as much as I disagree with him, however I don’t recall him using such venom in name calling of individuals.

...because you immediately attempt to put them down with your diatribe...

SDV (and others) only do that when they feel “threatened”—otherwise, I would say you were right on the money, Sage!

“SDV—I have not forgot the “exact” bet I made with you.”
Sage

An admission of your own acceptance of the bets.

No you didn’t forget. You were reminded and responded repeatedly. You just want to weasel out of your not being honest enough to pay up on losing bets. Trying to alter the known terms of your 2nd bet-

“Another bet if you want to make it—show me one quote of Dr. Ron Paul (running for president) that states what you quoted “Ron Paul wants to legalize currently illegal narcotics to the U.S. population” “

Back up what you post. I will thank you in advance if you will or can.”

Shown and backed up again-

The Case for Drug Legalization
by Ron Paul, MD
www.totse.com/en/drugs/legal_issues_of_drug_use/ron_paul.html

“Urban street crime, which terrorizes millions of Americans, is largely the creation of the U.S. drug laws. That alone is reason enough for legalization.”
Dr. Ron Paul

Your use of the word ‘Another’ shows a seperate and distinct bet and the terms proposed. Then the effort to alter again your own terms from-

“Another bet if you want to make it—show me one quote of Dr. Ron Paul (running for president) that states what you quoted “Ron Paul wants to legalize currently illegal narcotics to the U.S. population”.

to-

“...recent statements are what are important”

Here is a clear indicator you simply don’t know the facts about Ron Paul on drugs and shot yourself in the keyboard with ignorance and it cost you-

“Yes I read the l988 letter (I have not checked its accuracy as it is 20 yrs old)...”

I will repeat that ‘Sage’ just does not do his homework even on his own presidential wishful thinking.

As for the first bet you made on your own character, you lose again. Showing yourself a fraud is the easiest thing you do here. Then there is this admission of loss and guilt-

“...I will gladly pay the $100.00 to WMW for the second part of the bet that you never accepted.”

Obviously is was ‘accepted’ ("SDV—I have not forgot the “exact” bet I made with you."Sage) and proven that you are once again uninformed about Ron Paul and the legalization of illegal narcotics. The second bet on item 2 (Ron Paul) is a loss for you and trying to weasel out is typical of the fraudulent nonsense you portray. Which affirms the first bet of the first subject-

“Now for once please, please explain how I have been foud to be a fraud (even by you). Give me one example. I will make a bet with you, if you can I will donate $100 to WMW...”
Sage

That is now $200 you owe WalMartWatch.

“I will make a bet...”, “Another bet...”
Sage

Yes. You have finally linked the 2 seperate bets together.

Sage owes WMW 2 C Notes. Please make the note read; ‘Lost bets to SanDiegoView’ on the check. Thanks!
