[QUOTE="Mammabrown, post: 848494, member: 35536"] Being an ex employee of Wal Mart I know for a fact that Mr. Sam would not only be "displeased", but more likely is rolling over and over in his grave about today's Wal Mart. I worked for Wal Mart back in the mid 80's and was actually afforded (as was the rest of the store) the opportunity to sit down and eat a meal and attend a party in which Sam Walton danced in a tu tu on the registers for the fund raising results our store accomplished during an Easter Seals campaign. He was a pleasant down to earth man, that spoke of the need to buy American made products and to treat employees with dignity and respect. I know that having a conversation with a man doesn't mean that I knew him on a personal level and knew his heart but in those days that was the way WM did business and therefore I have no reason to doubt his intentions or beliefs. WalMart has severely declined in the years since his death but they will only get away with what we allow them to. If the public would ban together and make WM aware of their displeasure, hit them where they feel it (in their pocket) then perhaps some good would come of all the talk but unless "the people" are willing to do so it's all just blowing smoke aka venting and that doesn't help anyone.
