What’s with all the shoplifting stories at Wal-Mart?

there is more shoplifting at ufcw union grocery stores,k-mart,costco,target,expensive shopping malls and etc.why dont any of you raise hell about that?

Hmm… I don’t know.  Could it be because this site is called WAL-MART Watch, not TARGET, COSTCO, ETC. Watch?  I think that is most likely the reason.  I think this site is going after Wal-Mart because they are the worst of the chains.

So quit complaining that no one talks or complains about the other Big Box chains.  If you want to talk about them all, start your own site focusing on all of the chains.

Fox,

“I think this site is going after Wal-Mart because they are the worst of the chains.”

Think again, they are going after those 1.5 million potential DUES payers!!  Just think, if they were to get even $10.00/mo., that would equal $15 million/mo. or $180 million/yr.!!  Do you think $180 million/yr. is worth going after?  Don’t kid yourself, it’s all about the ‘big bucks’!!

And, all Matt needs to do is wait, if the union gets Wal-Mart, soon after this site would become TargetWatch!!

Of course you’re right Fox. Walmart is the worst and unionization would help many many people. Sometimes you just have to put up with the stink think of those like RDS who are so greedy they can never have interest in the other person to do well with better wages or benefits. Walmart destroyed good paying jobs in retail and unions will help bring back decent wages to workers and their families.

Many other retailers are union and it works very well until Walmart disrupts and distorts the economy with poverty wages and welfare abuse. Train people to go to perceived low prices and put their neighbor out of work and this is the wrecked economy you get with low wage part time jobs that workers and their families cannot afford. The Waltons made their money by wrecking the lives of millions of Americans.

Unions made America strong and then the greedy came along!

Unions and workers built the nation, then came the Waltons, Reagan, the Bushes, Madoff, Ken Lay and damnation!

True to his usual form, there’s RDS with more of his alarmist rhetoric.  Don’t you
think Target, Kohls, and others are “going to school” on the mistakes
WalMart is making?  They will make the right decisions to avoid being in
the situation WalMart finds itself today.  Besides, you can’t compare the
WalMart corporate culture and business model with any other retailer.

Your cockeyed notion that Target would be the next “victim” of the UFCW,
sounds a bit like the paranoia of the Cold War era… If Vietnam falls,
they will all fall like dominoes.

shut up fox you spoiled hypocrite bitch and moan about walmart shioplifting but you have no problem and never bitch and moan about all the higher levels of shoplifting calls at your favorite costco,k-mart,target and ufcw union grocers and expensive shopping malls you are madly in love with proving what arrogant asses you wm haters are.funny you are always silent on and ok with your favorite places crime levels huh?

i disagree david.look at the ufcw union david and how many people are able to get full time work and living wages in that union sir.i am an ex ufcw union memeber so i know what im taLKING ABOUT.THE UNIONS ONLY WANT DUES MONEY AND COULD CARE LESS ABOUT ANYONE AT THE BOTTOM ENDS situation.please inform us mr david what other retailers are union because i dont see any being union.how do you know wm pays poverty wages david?walmart david pays better thanyour favorite k-mart and target stores buddy.i suggest pal you get your head out of your rear end and stop believing everything you read and hear on this site and the internet about wm because 99% of it is ufcw union b.s.hey moron davisd how does wm put the neighbor out of work?please explain that one because you are full of crap.hey screwed by if target and others are so much better then how come walmart is always kicking their ass in sales then?why are more shoppers not flocking to target?

I know why MATT is no longer in retail or the UFCW.

They require a third grade eductation.  It is called punctuation Matt.  Try it, it makes it easier to get across your aurgument.

For those of you who don’t know, Matt’s argument is that he worked reatil and you didn’t, he worked UFCW and you didn’t.  The mentally handicapped at those jobs are still there and he isn’t.  Matt isn’t as competent as the mentally handicapped.

Matt, we don’t work retail, or are members of the UFCW because we have options.  Stop being mad at the world for your inability to keep a job that any high school kid can get.  Move on, take Remedial English courses, so prospective employers don’t laugh at your resume, and move on.

NO THE UFCW WILL NOT HELP EVERYONE.  But it will help many more people than it will hurt.  Targetwatch.com I am all for it, and every other company who becomes the world largest abuser of workplace rights.

David,

“Walmart destroyed good paying jobs in retail”

When did RETAIL ever have ‘good paying jobs’?

Screwedby,

“True to his usual form, there’s RDS with more of his alarmist rhetoric.”

Seems to me, that it is YOU who is spreading ‘alamist rhetoric’, spouting that the country is DOOMED because of Wal-Mart!!

“Don’t you think Target, Kohls, and others are “going to school” on the mistakes WalMart is making?”

Are those the SAME ‘mistakes’ that KEEP Wal-Mart #1?  Looks more like they are being ‘taken to school’!!

“They will make the right decisions to avoid being in
the situation WalMart finds itself today.”

Do you mean the situations that KEEP Wal-Mart #1!!  Where do you see Wal-Mart declining?

“Besides, you can’t compare the WalMart corporate culture and business model with any other retailer.”

I thought many here, said that the others were FOLLOWING Wal-Mart’s lead!!

“Your cockeyed notion that Target would be the next “victim” of the UFCW, sounds a bit like the paranoia”

So, you think that even though Target pays ‘lower wages’ and has worse ‘benefits’ than Wal-Mart, the union won’t go after them NEXT if they get Wal-Mart, right?  You are starting to get as delusional as SDV!!

Don’t you think Target, Kohls, and others are “going to school” on the mistakes WalMart is making?

RDS - this reminds me of a conversation a departed poster had with you concerning Tyson Foods.

To take a page from old “what’s her name’s” playbook—it’s funny Screwed 2.0 mentions Kohl’s, which happens to be headquartered in his hometown.

Could it be the man who spends his spare time roaming WM parking lots has more than a casual interest in Kohl’s?

Could it be....(?)

Is that helicopters I hear? Black helicopters?

What’s good for Wal-Mart is BAD for America!

Is that helicopters I hear? Black helicopters?

Always the one to derail the conversation with mindless BS, huh, Kenny?

Back to you, RDS…

bbrd, er, Someone

You two remind me of a high school kid trying to protect his girlfreind.lol

Do the two of you (you and RDS) go teabagging together by any chance?

Big D I think you are even more disgusting in your language than Ken.  Did your mother and father not each you any morals and respect?  I sure hope you stay away from the kids of our world.  What a vile example you display.

bbrd,

“it’s funny Screwed 2.0 mentions Kohl’s, which happens to be headquartered in his hometown.”

Yup, it’s really funny that someone would crititize a company in another town, but, finds NO fault with one in his town!!

Mark,

“Did your mother and father not each you any morals and respect?”

These people think that ‘morals’ and ‘respect’ are oldfashioned out-dated concepts, just like ‘personal responsibility’!!  The only ‘morals’ they believe in, are the ‘corporate morals’, that they try to impose!!

I apologise, bbrd, for my attempt to “derail the conversation”. It’s just you sound like one of those paranoid conspiracy theorists.

Behind a fence topped with razor wire just off U.S. Highway 71 is a bunker of a building that Wal-Mart considers so secret that it won’t even let the county assessor inside without a nondisclosure agreement.

Ken V,

“It’s just you sound like one of those paranoid conspiracy theorists.”

You mean like ddrb sounded?

Ken V,

“Behind a fence topped with razor wire just off U.S. Highway 71 is a bunker of a building that Wal-Mart considers so secret that it won’t even let the county assessor inside without a nondisclosure agreement.”

That statement sounds a little paranoid itself!!

That statement sounds a little paranoid itself!!

You are one (((quick))) fellow, RDS. Not much gets past you.

Burt Flickinger III, managing director of Strategic Resource Group, a retail consulting firm, said Wal-Mart initiated its ($4 drug) program as a “loss leader” to draw traffic to its stores and increase its business, but added it has not had as much of an impact as the giant retailer had hoped because of the quick response by competitors and because of the company’s broader marketing problems.

But oh what it did to help the american consumer save money.  Now I see local merchants offer FREE antibiotics to just get in you in the store.  Bottom line, the consumer WINS and all thanks to Walmart AGAIN.

JOe,

The 2 things these idiots miss, is first, they think employees are more IMPORTANT than customers (they forget that the customer is KING, while ‘unskilled workers’ are a dime a dozen) and second, they forget what Ben Franklin said, “A penny saved, is a penny EARNED”!!  They look at it as, ‘If you give me MORE money, I will be willing to pay MORE’, all that does, is make money worth LESS!!  They choose to ignore the ramifications of ‘higher prices’ and ‘higher incomes’, on things like higher taxes, higher interest payments and higher overheads (utilities, rents, etc.)!!

Don’t you just love my poverty philosophy!! Everybody should be poor!! What is wrong with that?!! Forget that employees are customers or people are people, just remember that Walmart employees are only non customers when they must spend their ‘bonus’ pay at Walmart to actually get their bonus!! Ha Ha you suckers!!

...they forget that the customer is KING...

Hey, RDS, I dare to try that line out on this board:

http://www.customerssuck.com/board/

The thread entitled Sucky Customers has nearly 200,000 posts.

Ken V,

“The thread entitled Sucky Customers has nearly 200,000 posts.”

They are probably former Sucky Employees!!

But, it doesn’t matter, the customer is the one with the CASH that pays the employee’s wages!!

...it doesn’t matter...

I’ll take that as a refusal to honor my dare. Too bad. You might have made some new friends.

There is scarcely anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse, and sell a little more cheaply. The person who buys on price alone is this man’s lawful prey. ~ John Ruskin

Ken V,

“I’ll take that as a refusal to honor my dare.”

I don’t have the time to deal with another bunch of CRYBABIES!!
