Walmart, An industry in shame.
Remember when Walmart first started? It was headlined as the next big thing,and it worked. You could fined almost anything you needed,and at really resonable prices.So , What happened? They are still as big as ever , they have even expanded to the degree of Grocery's hair salons and the latest, Banking. So in a nut shell it's almost one stop shopping,and don't forget ,you can fill the tank as you are leaving.So if this is al so convenient, why the negative approach? Why are so many people starting to get fed up?
It's actually rather simple,you see as Walmart grew and brought in mega star " Sams Club" as a partner,they stop looking at other things. Things like respectability,integrety,and the most important of all, Quality. It used to be that if you got it at Walmart you need not worry,it was almost like shopping at Sears except with a lot more respectful prices and a warm feeling of appreciation for you the customer. Now days it's a train wreck happening over and over everyday. Like a New York Subway with out the trains.
Walmart use to be something special, a place you could rest assured would have what-ever it was you needed,good quality items at resonable prices.So What's happened?
People, yes people. Today so many people run to Walmart because the prices are so good that they never pay attention to the quality of the items they buy, and why should they? the price was so good if it does break they can just replace it.I personally purchased a new car stereo at Walmarts recently,and it was a pure delight when I finally got it installed and working,I say delight because it took three trips to the store and three diffrent stereo's before I was able to aquire one that actually worked as expected. But I can't stop there because it also cost me two hours on the internet attempting to aquire instalations directions, that never were aquired. I was fortunate enough to have a knowledge of installing systems that I was able to get the job done.
When I first descovered no instructions I called the 800 number on the package the system came in only to be told I'd have to go on line to get the directions,that by the way were not available. Every other system except the one I had purchased,Figure the odds.
So what about those people that don't have computers or the internet or aren't even computer savy, What do they do? It's not like they can go down the street to Dave's music shop and get it installed, most stereo shops only install there own brand equipment or the highest dollar stuff,that made those people go to Walmarts in the first place.
Walmart, a person would almost need to be off the wall to shop there,and yet we do it almost daily,weekly for sure. I heard of people going out of there way to get to Walmart because of the money you save. Hey Idiot, how much gas did you waste on that adventure? We made this monster,so now lets tame the beast,if that can be done?
I believe that shopping at Walmart has caused us to become walnuts.
Wake up people, stop and smell the flowers,if they have no aroma,then they are probable cheap imitations. Is that all your hard earned money is worth?
It's your Dollar,spend it wisely
