I couldn't sleep last night and was up late with nothing on the tube. I found Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price OnDemand and decided to watch it. To be honest, I'm half upset I did, as it changed my prospective of the retailer entirely. The movie was extremely interesting and followed the various... read full review »

Working in the retail business often involves hard physical work, irregular hours, and generally low wages. This type of business often experiences high turnover and individuals generally work here only to get some temporary employment and some quick cash. But for others, the retail world is a fact of...

My husband and I watched this film a couple of days ago and it was a real eye-opener. My husband's grandma works at Wal-Mart, so we always kind of new that they don't treat their employees very well, but we didn't know the extent of their unethical practices. We didn't know, for example, that 80% of crimes that happen at Wal-Mart happen in the parking lot and Wal-Mart knows that if they pay someone to patrol the lot they can bring this crime down to 0%. Yet they won't do it because they won't pay out the money. I did not know that the CEO of Wal-Mart makes $120 Million dollars a year (or maybe...

On some days, I love Wal-Mart, and want to go shopping. However, today, it changed my view on them. I was in there buying a camera for a birthday present. I was given the run-around several times. I was getting very heated and upset. It should not take 2 managers to answer my questions. I was asked to go to Customer Service- where they proceeded to tell me the exact same things the managers did. But nonetheless, I bought the camera and went home. I did not want to deal with it anymore. Also, it was the exact same camera I have been looking for with an excellent price.

However, I will not go back...

Although Wal Mart is a popular shopping place, I would really like to find something better. I live in the country, and Wal Mart is the closest store for me. If there were others I would not ever go to Wal Mart again. Wal Mart touts itself as being a place that helps you "live better" and "save money". All of the products that Wal Mart has are available at other stores. Wal Mart is NOT a great way to save money. In fact I have found products from other stores....dollar stores that are much lower in price than Wal Mart. For example I record many things in notebooks. I found a great notebook at the...

I had heard about this in a speech class at college.  Then, a few weeks later we were flipping through the on-demand movies and I saw it listed.  We watched it and WOW! I was sick.  Wal-mart is supposed to be pro American, but they are far from it when you really go look at their items they are selling.

I can remember when Wal-mart had signs in stores about how many jobs for Americans had been created because of Wal-mart and their shoppers.  The signs are gone, the ideals of pro America are gone, and my money will be gone from Wal-mart as well.

 I do still shop there for things I can't find...

Wal Marts are popping up everywhere. Because of this ma and pa shops are being  forced to close their doors. Family owned business can not longer stay open.  Even thought they have some faithful customers it is not enough.

 My biggest complaint about wal mart is the rude check out clerks, and the long long long waiting lines.  They will have two lanes open, and the lines at the check out or so long, that people have actually pushed there cart aside and walked out.

 It is always a good thing to have the wal mart number programed in your cell phone, like I do. So when your sick of waiting in a...

There are so many videos that bring down big companies. This video surely wont bring wal-mart down at all. Some things in the video are true, some are not, and of course many are over exaggerated!! Yes they pay people over seas so assemble items for their company but what people dont understand is that Walmart is HELPING them too. These people are given a much better opportunity in life for working there.

 If you really want to know the truth about this video and Walmart... go to youtube.com and search for "P&T Bullshit Wal-mart". Bullshit is a tv show which looks into all types of things in...

On Friday, November 23rd I got a huge bubble on the outside of my tire.  I went to the Wal Mart Tire Lube and Express to purchase another tire because that is where we have been buying tires for the last 2 years.  They refused to sell me the size tire that was on my truck because the truck specifications called for another size.  And I know that you cannot run on 3 tires of one size and 1 tire of another size.  I drove the truck home -20miles - and was lucky not to have a MAJOR BLOWOUT!Anyway, I went to the used tire shop in my town and found a new tire - my size for $25.00. 

I will NOT Shop...

I just thought this would give both sides to this story.  It was some opinions of disgruntled workers from a place that is one of America's biggest employer.  I am employed at Wal-Mart and while some things might be true they have more than stepped up in the last few years and they really need to do a part two to this story.  You never see any good movies about Wal-Mart.  I hope that people do not watch this story.  Some of the things that people talk about like working off the clock is nothing but their own faults.  They did not have to do it and if they did they should have reported it. ... read full review »
