PATRIOTIC SEARS

[Porkie]

Okay, I stand corrected about Target. I have been sent LOTS of things on email that looked official that stated that Target was French owned and very anti U.S. Military. Knowing France, I believed it.

I'm a Veteran and my Dad was a veteran and was shot and stabbed in France when He parachuted into Cherbourge, with the 101st Screaming Eagles.

I don't retract a thing I said about Walmart and please don't act like Walmart is so great to employees because you know a greeter---big deal. My sister-in-law worked for them in California for 15 years and my Neice worked for them for 7 years and in fact, married the Walmart store manager in Cedar City, Utah, that had been there forever.

I have heard horror stories for years abot WM. I work about 1/4 mile away from a super walmart, so I talk to lots of their current and past employees. They still suck.

If being the largest retailer in the world with the most employees of any retailer, making the most profit doesn't qualify as a monopolistic enterprize, I don't know what does.

I also stick by the "flea market" mentality statement. Most of their customers sound like young birds: Cheap-cheap-cheap!

It's still about choice Porkie. People have it, either in shopping there or being employed there.

No offense, but being large and being profitable doesn't make Walmart a monopoly. Walmart faces competition from grocery stores, drugstores, department stores, etc.

It seems condescending to me to refer to their customers in that fashion. They are making their choices based on their preferences and incomes.

I guess if I owned a Radio Shack franchise, I' be jealous of Walmart, too.:laughing: If they were all that bad, wonder why your relatives worked there so long. As I've said, there are lots of things I don't like about Walmart, but exaggerating their faults doesn't accomplish anything. There are lots of things I don't like about some other companies, too, but that doesn't mean those companies are all bad. And of course any company that gets large and successful can expect some people to try their best to bring them down.

Was gonna try my first harbor freight store this trip down south (need a 3/4" socket set) but might have to spend the extra $$ and give it to sears.

I guess it's just to bad that WM doesn't sell the latest chongwongshebarudingdong chinese tractor line or a LOT of you would just go ga-ga and rush to that classy shopping place, Walmart and just put it on your DEBIT CARD !!!!!

This isn't about jealousy BIRDMAN but what I perceive as right and wrong in the work place, having talked to a few more of their employees, besides ol' Cleetus, the night greeter.

Anyway, I do like Sears.

Bird, remind me never to play poker with you. You have a gift for seeing right through BS.

In my limited experience, 99 times out of 100 I see the anti-WM talk is REALLY about bringing something down that is not union...

This started out as just a little fun and humor. All of us have heard and read the jokes about the "WM mentality" of the trailer park crowd type shopper. (Oh my Martha, there he goes again!)

What WM has done to small towns is legendary, as it's predatory marketing policies have ruined local economies wherever they plant another store. Some more enlightened citizens and their representatives have been successful in keeping WM out of their areas. Many small towns have been gutted and shuttered when WM moves in. It's not BS, it's a fact.

Now hurry on down to your holy of holies, cause they is runnin' outa yer tatter tot-sausage and gravy special for 29 cents! (illegal alien farm workers only--all others pay 39 cents. Your debit card accepted. Just make sure you deposit enough to cover the 29 to 39 cents!)

HUMOR---get it ???????

Sorry, Sam. I don't get it, and here's why.

First, the tone of your previous posting doesn't convey humor. You come across as dead serious. Granted, tone can be difficult to convey with the written word, so I'll give you a pass on that one.

Second, you are obviously very contemptuous of your fellow man. Apparently, you find fault in those that aren't smart enough to shop at places you approve of. And while it is perfectly acceptable for you to quote your "sources" working for Wal-Mart, you dismiss the same source from other posters. I could be wrong, however, not being one of your "enlightened citizens".

Finally, much of your "humor" is based on unsubstantiated claims and "official looking" emails. (FYI, please don't send any money to someone from Nigeria that sends you an "official looking" email).

And did you say "tater tots"?!? Mmmm, tater tots. Now where's my debit card...
