Hey steak... I will be honest...... your Wal-Mart post sort of blew my mind. The shear mindlessness and redneck nature of it. So..... I got in a hurry and overlooked the 2011 date in your other post. Based on the two books you mentioned and the time frame..... gives some possible reason to your claim. Hope it is near true, for your sake.

Not like Wallmart does the right thing. They pay their cashiers minimum wage and they work like robots. Funny thing is that those ppl who work in the customer service, don't even bother asking why you are returning it....they just process the return as long as you bring your receipt. THey don't ask for any id like the other poster mentioned....only name, address and phone number and signature.....and you can put whatever you want in those fields and scribble a signature. I used to go on fishing trips, campings with all nice brand new gears...then return
and recycle. You would be amazed how much you will save! I don't do it anymore but if i go back to being poor, i will definitely do it...and i have nothing against poor ppl taking advantage of the evil corporation. If prices go up, then the small business can re-open and compete with them.If you really hate Wal-Mart (I rarely even go or even think about Wal-Mart till I read this thread) then why even go there......As far as returning things on them it is too petty to make an impact on the company that big and if you really hate Wal-Mart as much as you say then you would use more advanced tactics against them.
They call it "hustling" and that is how they rationalize it.........Just like in downtown when you meet someone the first time you will hear all sorts of made-up stories from people (I've heard them all) just so they can use the money to buy alcohol or drugs..........Some will offer to wash windshield or tires or car or tell you the complete truth while saying GOD Bless even when you don't help them although that isn't the norm.
I don't appreciate wally world putting all the mom & pop stores out of business but the bigger fish always eats the smaller.......its a shame but that's the world we live in.
Stay away from their meat products, nasty!
Potatoes chips, popcorn, pretzels, wally world is the place to go.......I live like 1/4 mile away from it & they're building a brand new mall that supposed to be finished next summer right next to it.
I've heard that wally is trying to capture the organic crowd & they will start selling organic foods......

How about Walmart buying life insurance policies on their own workers, talk about creepy!
Now I know why they employ so many senior citizens.........

This thread does bring up a point since we are talking about Wal-Mart which is why does Wal-Mart even exist in rural areas of the United States or even suburban areas of the United States? These are supposed to be heavy Republican areas that claim to be all about America, America, and more America first ......Seems like a contradiction as they say one thing while walking down the Wal-Mart aisle in a rural or suburban area.
