What Would Sam Say?

Why not take some of CEO Lee Scotts millions and help this poor woman who Wal-Mart has victimized!

Sounds like Lee Scott needs to be taken behind the wood shed and given a lesson in HUMANITY!

Sam Walton has probably done a 360 in his grave on this one!

Wal_Mart SUCKS!

Where is the humanity? There is always an exception to any rule, a loophole that this huge corporation could find to help this poor woman. First she lost her normal life, now she has lost her son to the war and Wal-mart took back the pittance it was forced to dole out to her. Sam would have taken up a collection or paid it out of a charitable fund.

"“Don’t compromise your reputation. It’s a precious commodity. Don’t compromise your integrity - have a good name......”

I would say the Walmart reputations is already compromised.
This just reinforces it. Truely Walmart is a poor excuse for a company.

Sam’s dead.  Why can’t Alice take a break from buying paintings and help this poor woman out?

When Sam died, Wal-Mart’s reputation, integrity, and
humanity went with him. 

There’s nothing left.

Here’s another more “Samism”: “As long as we’re managing our company well, as long as we take care of our people and our customers, keep our eyes on those fundamentals, we are going to be successful. Of course, it takes an observing, discerning person to judge those fundamentals for himself.” - Sam Walton

ddrb,

Here’s some more “Samisms”:

As Sam Walton explained in his 1992 autobiography, Made in America, he didn’t believe in giving “any undeserving stranger a free ride.” Nor did he believe in being generous with company profits. “We feel very strongly,” he wrote, “that Wal-Mart really is not, and should not be, in the charity business.” Money that Wal-Mart donated to charity, he reasoned, would only come out of the pockets of “either our shareholders or our customers.”

As for politics, Sam couldn’t stand the stuff. At a 1988 Mother’s Day “toast and roast” honoring Helen Walton, then-Senator Dale Bumpers of Arkansas quipped that waiting for big campaign contributions from the Waltons was like “leaving landing lights on for Amelia Earhart.”

All that has changed. Since Sam died in 1992, both the Bentonville, Arkansas-based company and the family have dramatically escalated their charitable giving, becoming far more influential in the worlds of philanthropy and politics.
