Wal-Mart Should Audit Its Own Buildings

I say the hell with all of this.  I work at a store where we sweat our asses off because the company is cheap and don’t want to provide a confortable environment for it’s employees.  They have taken down ceiling fans that were about to fall and never replaced them and have denied us fans along the registers to help.  In the meantime we, the employees(not ‘associates), have sweat dripping off of us and they won’t respond to the complaints from the workers and customers.  The hell with ‘going green’ and turn up the a/c.  It feels like 80 degrees in my store most of the time.  This ‘going green’ crap is nothing more than a customer relations ploy by the company to make them seem like they are saving the damn planet.  Oh yeah, they also seel bags for you to reuse - nice little touch there ain’t it? Save the planet, spend money on stupid bags.  A PLOY.  PERIOD.

You are right peon. It is just pr. I find it interesting also that this company likes to snuggle up to the Salvation Army during Christmas. Walmart in my opinion is directly and indirectly part of the blame for much of the working poor in society today. Once again, just playing the pr card.

You must care somewhat since you take the time and energy to reply.

ps. We also know from past posts you know how to use proper capital letters, punctuation and spacing. I guess if you don’t have anything real to say you have to look for a gimick.

It would be interesting for a sociologist or a like minded person to determine how many of these states are combined reporting and what the political contributions have been from WalMart to each of these states for say the past decade or so. Surely there are state tax credits for dooing this,or carbon credits...although if it really is effective, I could see the merit.

Enviro. Team, huh?

WMW has enough ‘teams’ to form a league!

Said one insider, who asked not to be identified by name: “Wal-Mart claims that these ($7.95 jeans) are not loss leaders. Well, if that’s true, imagine the costs of the denim, the zippers, the buttons, the shipping costs, the store overhead, and there certainly isn’t much room left over to pay for the costs of labor. I love free trade, but this makes even me uncomfortable.”
