I believe it was a documentary.

Was the video unbiased or trying to back up someone's point?? There was also a video posted here if I recall. Was it an unbiased video or did it show exactly what was wanted to be shown on a particular topic.

I am sure there are many things that employees would like to change and some rightly so. Does that make wal-mart any worse than say Target or K-Mart?
You may think having to pay a high price for something is good for the economy.maybe so. But is not so great for mine. I am thankful to wal-mart that I can now get my prescription for 4.00 per month rather than the 24.00 I was paying.

Wal-Mart carries a brand of clothing for women,one that used to be carried by Macy's. Maybe you and others here could afford Macy's I could not. Macy's quit carrying it as they did not want to compete with wal-mart. Tough cookies, that is business.  If you do not want to spend your life working in a store that pays the wages wal-mart does, there is a way to solve that. GET AN EDUCATION.
MacDonald's pays a comparable wage and employs many student's ,mothers working their way around day care.It is a job that fits around their schedule and training and education
Come to think of it, my granddaughter works in a upscale clothing store. No accommodations made for different shifts,insurance that is not the greatest, and 1.00 over and above similar positions at wal-mart.  Maybe she is really working at a Nazi concentration camp and doesn't know it.

Best part about all this,this clothing store does not get it's merchandise in the US . Guess where it comes from.

Wal-mart and similar places are not viewed as a career but as parttime job or one that matches their talents and training thru education

I strongly disagree with this statement.  However, I am not going to argue with you about it.

Wal Mart doesn't do anything different than other companies do.

Grandma,

Tell Cindy that we thank her for the heads up (my, we would have missed that one, right Bob?) and we will not make the same mistake, but in fact we intend to bring a misuse of process claim to "clean up". And, I would suspect that some of the witnesses,  and maybe even co-defendants, would be "counselors". Got plenty of time and we don't have to be out of Iraq by 2011. 2015 is the more logical timeframe for us to be finished, depending how many more we can draw into the fight. After all, if we are conducting an unholy war, might as well bring the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth out so we can convince even the BLIND that there is llight in our facts and the physical evidence supports our claims. Might just prove to be financially rewarding as well!!! But JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL.

Tell Cindy her use of pseudonyms (that NY pseudonym to avoid imaginary service was just delightfully hilarious) and surrogates is preposterous. If she has something to say, stand up like the anti-church WOMAN ( I dare not call her a lawyer)  she is and speak her mind. The constitution guarantee's her the right. And she can publicly conduct her own crusade rather than use CHRISTIAN SURROGATES, an oxymoron at best.

That is the view from the bunker today, Grandma.

Edit Notice regarding restoration of the original post prior to it being edited:

After looking over the Forum Rules of Advent Talk in relation to using names of real persons, as long as the real name used doesn't identify a user's username of Advent Talk, the use of that name is permissible per our present Forum Rules.  In this case, as the name Cindy wasn't associated with any known user of Advent Talk, it doesn't violate any of the Forum Rules of Advent Talk, and has consequently been restored with names and the pseudonym of "NY" which also doesn't connect with any username of Advent Talk.

If anybody has any concern about this, they will need to communicate it to me in writing by email or by PM, as I will no longer be discussing such concerns over the phone for the reason that I need a paper trail of these concerns.  I will only look at this again, if it can be shown that the name in this post would identify a user of Advent Talk.

This decision was reached by overwhelming consensus of the Administration of Advent Talk.

And besides our own prejudicially predicitive PMA drummer Bonnie, who else has stated that allegations against Walmart are "outrageous"?

I am not your anything. Please keep that in mind

Of course, those blind to the constant allegations relating to miscue's by Walmart would argue all is just fine. The neat thing about American Society is that you can protest against a company or company management's  conduct in mutliple ways and still enjoy the fruit of the underlying corporate philosophy.

Can you find where I said everything is just fine concerning wal-mart or is that another statement that is not quite factual.  

Frankly, the institution called Walmart is a mixed bag, at best, frequently running amis of the law in their efforts to sustain rock bottom pricing and even rockier business relationships. They are an 1800 pound bull in a China Closet economy and don't much care how much china gets broken as long as they get to feed at the profits trough. But, then, what is new in the US Corporate arena? Or the World Arena as far as that goes.

Most are, so please tell me why the nasty attacks on one corperation.Capitalism never promised to be spread out equally, it only promises the opportunity for a person to pursue an education and to work hard.

They may be the 1800 pound bull in the china shop,but beats the heck out of the dainty little  shop that fleeces me quietly.
Tell me why I should hate wal-mart. My husband is on lovastatin. When I went to pick up the prescription our prescription coverage had not been finalized I thought how expensive can one prescription be.
Soon found out. They wanted 326.00 for 90 days. I said flat out no,we will wait for the insurance. This dear lady said,"well, we will give it to you at our cost till you have the coverage. Imagine my surprise when she quoted me
150.00. This dainty little number hit a lot harder financially than the 1800 pound bull. Now I suppose I could camp in their parking lot and try to damage them as much as I could,or take my business elsewhere, as in Wal-mart.
I don't mind businesses making a profit. But 50% is a bit much for my pocket.
I have a right within the constitution to take my business elsewhere.

I strongly disagree with this statement.  However, I am not going to argue with you about it.

Wal Mart doesn't do anything different than other companies do.

K-Mart,Target are all the samr. Wal-mart happens to be the most sucessful at it. Because of them I could now go to Target or K-mart and get my presciption at the same price.
Paying a salary for unskilled labor in either of the three stores here are about the same.
Wal-Mart has a better track record for hiring the handicapped.

And let us not forget the upscale shop my granddaughter works in. I.00 an hour more and no convenient scheduling to work around school.
Yup,got to hate that wal-mart, all others are above reproach

[Gailon Arthur Joy]

And the First Amendment gives you that right, but that is a two way street.

And I strongly support that statement and am willing to prove it with copies of Charge after charge. In fact. just try it on PACER. The name WALMART will give you a page full or two. And that is just the Federal system.

Fun sparring with you anyway.

In terms of reading pacer,couldn't give a hoot less as far as wal-mart goes. I accept the fact there are issues with wal-mart, also many others have same issues.
You make satements like this And the First Amendment gives you that right, but that is a two way street.
and tried to tell you you didn't have that right or that it wasn't a two way street.

We have a right in this country to be as obnoxious,rude, overbrearing, hypocritical,and even telling lies if we choose.
A long with that right is consequences at times.  That even may be someone suing you.
But that is not a problem for those that enjoy the fight and the limelight

[GrandmaNettie]

invoking a woman's prerogative...

[bonnie]

Your saber waggling is impotent; your bunker is full of holes and about to crumble...

  The one thing I learned during my son's ordeal was that it was unquestioned we were right  Even tho my son was told from day one,it will be  a long road but we will prevail,he was confident,no saber rattling. No bragging,no obnoxious statements,no exaggerations. If you are in the right you don't feel driven to make so much noise to bolster your courage.

As for Donna,

Donna,
You are trying to explain and defend something that you are totally ignorant of. Excuses and reasons can be given you,but it is a far cry from knowing what you are talking about. You are off your turf on this one and accepting anything that is said by the one you and others seem to think is annointed by God

The main point is that none of this has any bearing on anything that is in the court. People can come up with their lies and others come and rebut with explanations of truth and still it does not change anything. I feel sorry for the day you and others find out that you have been in error.

Given that I do not have anything to lose it doesn't matter that much to me. But it is interesting to have both sides after my hair for defending or accusing the other one. Odd place to be

 The error part might play both ways and I suspect strongly that it does.

Lol! At least no one will accuse you of being a clone or a lemming.

The last couple of weeks I have been all but those two.

I've noticed. You have your principles and are hanging on to them.

Shhhhsh Bonnie. Don't want to know that's happening 'up there'! 

I've handled petitions 'down under' to stop Supermarkets dispensing pharmaceutical medications.

While there's  nothing more that I like much besides cheaper medications, I do have very STRONG OBJECTIONS to them being dispensed by people who wouldn't know Tenormin from Temazapam. Too much room for error.

More than enough errors made by 'qualified people' so we don't want/need the 'medically unqualified' being let loose with medication dispensing!
