Walmart closes store cause it can't win

In 2 years we have not(and will not) buy from walmart.

I'm with ya Chris............

Wally world is bad for people and bad for business.

Target gets 98% of my business now but for reasons we've discussed here before. I've, never been pro union anyway.

Marshall,
Fun Fact: Target is by far the leading seller of Toro handhandled, electrical products.(trimmers,snowblowers, etc.)
Toro uses them as thier primary retail outlet because of the large female demographic.
You wouldnt happen too do 98% of your shopping there simply too pick up women in the ope department?
("Hi...My name is Marshall, would you like too come over too my place and see my big red Toro.")
Man...whatever happened too the bar scene?

Hahahahahaha.

Matter of fact I was there after work yesterday buying a few things, bread, milk, etc. And now that you mention it, it seemed there was a remarkable amount of attractive specimens from the opposite sex walking around playing bumper carts.

I made a great post about walmart at WTB some time ago, and hearing you bring more information about walmart is music to my ears. I really don't like them nor do I like there stupid clan ritual they every dam morning. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. And Marshall, you are so right, Target much better store and doing well.

Termy, what have you been doing, you haven't been hanging around all the time lately? Are you working, are you in school?

I have been buisy. Thats why I have not post allot in here lately like before. I have been repairing small engines and have been writting reviews, and at the same time have been working on my website. Soon, I will be doing my lawncare service too and probably my website will be put on hold for a while.

Good for you, an idle mind....and all that. I thought you repaired computers?

I do Marshall, but right now I am trying to sell the computers I have, and have not gotten any computer calls from cliants. My guess the calls will pick up more once summer comes around. Thats when peoples kids stay home for vecation and seriously screw up computers lol.

Dual Bomb Threats Shut Down Wal-Mart Stores In Gatineau; go to Google news for details

Unions are good for low wage earners like reatail employees. Having worked retail for 10 years as a part timer and manager in non union shops and as a manager and area manager in union shops, I must say the union shops provided people with raises, good benefits and some protection from abuses. The non-union shop stunk!!! People were fired at the drop of a hat and no matter how well a part timer performed they were not getting a raise. Period.

Now unions in other industries are another matter....but when Wal-Mart comes to a small town and shuts the ma and pa small business's down and only hires part time with out much in the way of decent benifits...unions are good.

I'm a card carrying Republican....but with my expieriences in Retail and what we all know about  Wal-Mart tells me that their employees need to organize!!! God Bless them and good luck !!!
