Benr98 40 Posted April 19, 2008 Walmart has it's pros and cons..........one time my daughter was rudely talked to by an associate on the floor....I contacted the store manager and my daughter received a $20.00 gift card....I was really surprised. Like I said I'm not backing Walmart, I'm just saying SOME people do mean well.........not the store in general. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like I said I'm not backing Walmart, I'm just saying SOME people do mean well.........not the store in general. It's not the employees,or the managers that make Walmart the evil empire that it is...it's what goes on behind the scenes. "Always low prices" yes,but at what cost? The walmart of today is Not Sam Walton's Walmart....and you can blame that on the greed of his children. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benr98 40 Posted April 19, 2008 Oh I believe that John,......like the greed of Exxon and the oil moguls?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted April 19, 2008 exactly. It's never enough,no matter how much you have. No matter who you have to destroy,mistreat,etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firemalt 10 Posted April 19, 2008 The thing I hate about Walmart is they open a store, and move out in five years, and then there's a huge empty building sitting there... so big, that most other companies can't make use of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firemalt 10 Posted April 19, 2008 Correct... suck them dry, and move on to another spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted April 19, 2008 Correct... suck them dry, and move on to another spot. I don't know how old most of you are...but the America I grew up in (late 50's,early 60's) doesn't exist anymore,and Walmart is the biggest reason. If they ever get into the sign business,we'll all be out of work...they will make sure of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benr98 40 Posted April 19, 2008 So many ways of the past are gone, unfortunately. Just think of how many children today will grow up never knowing 'the good ole times' We had this one Walmart pack up build a BRAND NEW building just a block away and move in there, leaving the old one still sitting vacant after 1 year!! It's becoming such an eye sore. Truely sad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's becoming such an eye sore. Truely sad. If I had the money to do it...a building like that would make an excellent bowling alley on one side,skating rink on the other. I don't bowl but my very first job when I was 15 was at a skating rink. Ah,the memories...I can still tell you how many ball bearings each wheel had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Print Star 0 Posted April 19, 2008 So funny you said that John. Just came from dinner with the wife and kiddos and when we were leaving I noticed a banner hanging on the vacant walmart buiding. It has been empty for at least 4-5 years when they built a super walmart a few miles down the road. But the banner said comming soon, Memory Lanes Family Fun Center. Bowling alley, game room, resteraunt, indoor cornhole, and volley ball and more. A rednecks dream!(speaking from experience) Good to see it finally be put to use again! Maybe you need to start looking for investors! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
