| Banned From Wal-Mart... too good!! | | 2008-08-26 10:41:54 | | Tooooooooooo good guys…I cud not stop laughing… This is why women should not take men shopping against their will. *************************************************** After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Wal-mart. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunately, my wife is like most women - - she loved to browse. Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Wal-Mart. ************************************************************ Dear Mrs. Samsel, Over the past six months, your husband has been causing quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against Mr. Samsel are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras. 1.

| | I Just Received Nine Mortgage Calls from Wal-Mart | | 2008-07-07 01:16:00 | | Three or four times a year I pull the following little origination tip out of my bag and go for it. You will too when you realize how really simple this idea is, how inexpensive it is to implement, and how phenomenal the results can be for you.The idea is a simple one...create a knockout mortgage flier...make lots of copies...and then place them on car windshields at your local Wal-Mart, Public, Winn-Dixie, or home improvement store, or whatever. Although this idea definitely falls into the super low-budget category, don't underestimate its potential.Here's how you would put the plan into action...Pick a morning and either do this yourself, or put your kids to work, or even hire a neighbor kid to help (with parent's approval of course), and head to your chosen store. Pick the busiest time of the week and or day to do this. I usually pick my local Wal-Mart because of the huge amount of traffic they generate on weekends, especially Saturdays. Place your black and white mortgage fliers on... | | By: Blog Inspiration | | |

| Toddler Left at Wal-Mart | | 2008-06-19 21:16:43 | | I was just watching TV when I caught a CNN Headline at Nancy Grace that a 2 1/2 year old toddler was left at Wal-Mart in Indiana! What are people thinking today? Why are they having children and abandoning them. These are the kind of parents that make my blood boil!And my insensitive father commented that the child must be naughty or something that's why the mother left the toddler at Wal-Mart.

| | Wal-Mart Thinks Wii Game is Perfect 'Fit' for Mother's Day | | 2008-05-03 11:37:00 | | This Mother's Day, Wal-Mart is advising consumers to forgo flowers and candy and buy Mom the new "Wii Fit" game, due for release this month. The game is an exercise program controlled by a pressure-sensing board.The gift would be a pre-order, though -- while Mother's Day is May 11, the game doesn't hit the shelves until May 19. Pre-ordering customers who pay $89.74 for the game will get a free $10 online gift card for Walmart.com.Wal-Mart said it is pleased with a strong initial response to its marketing move, coming in the context of the economic downturn in which consumers are avoiding discretionary expenditures.

| | Bloomberg, Wal-Mart and You | | 2008-04-15 21:00:00 | | New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s latest volley in his war on gun ownership is convincing Wal-Mart that they need to film every firearm purchase. The goal, according to the mayor, is to reduce crime. But we know gun control doesn't equal crime control. And this reeks of a public relations stunt instead of a crime-fighting measure. Gun owners who buy a firearm at Wal-Mart, or any other gun store for that matter, already go through a background check before the purchase can be made.

The cancellation of the verbal agreement caused Flagler to lay off most of its employees.Now, Flagler is offering three decades worth of Wal-Mart meetings for sale on video, featuring everything from tough talk bashing unions to Wal-Mart executives dressed up as women.Perhaps ironically, Wal-Mart is defending itself in a lawsuit that alleges that Wal-Mart discriminated against women in its management promotion policies.

| | Wal-Mart to Buy Iraq? | | 2007-12-25 17:41:00 | | CWT - Bentonville, AR. Confidential Cats with Thumbs sources close to Wal-Mart corporation senior management report that the retailing giant has tendered a multi-billion dollar offer for the country of Iraq; negotiations are said to be " in the final stages," and could be completed as early as January, 2008. Wal-Mart has expanded it's global reach at a record pace over the past decade, opening hundreds of outlets in Mexico, South America, China, and Japan. Tillman Bond, CWT's financial analyst, believes "owning a country outright is the next logical step for Wal-Mart. The initial capital expenditure will be huge, but given the tremendous savings they will see in reduced labor costs, regulatory compliance, and taxes, the country ownership model could show a profit in as little as three to five years." Other financial professionals, speaking off the record, were unsure if Wal-Mart could finalize the deal; " who are they going to buy it from?, " a Goldman Sachs broker asked, " it's no... | | By: Cats With Thumbs | | |
| | Wal-Mart Profit Up 8 Percent | | 2007-11-13 07:34:00 | | LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- Wal-Mart Stores Inc. posted third-quarter earnings Tuesday of $2.86 billion, an 8 percent rise that beat Wall Street expectations as the world's largest retailer heads into the holiday shopping season.The company earned 70 cents per share, up from 62 cents per share in the same period a year ago. The 70 cents includes an after-tax gain equal to 1 cent per share. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial had forecast earnings of 67 cents per share on revenue of $91.67 billionWal-Mart had revenue of $91.95 billion in the period ending Oct. 31, up 8.8 percent from $84.47 billion a year ago.Wal-Mart expects earnings for its fourth quarter to be between 99 cents per share and $1.03 per share. Earnings for the full year should be between $3.13 and $3.17, including a $40 million restructuring charge, the company said. Analysts project quarterly earnings per share of $1.02 and full-year profit of $3.09 per share.Wal-Mart President and Chief Executive Officer Lee Scott said it has been a tough year for consumers, but that the company's new focus on pricing is paying off.''We believe we are well positioned to win in this environment,'' Scott said in a recorded call.Scott said the company is showing improving trends in sales of home and apparel, an area in which Wal-Mart unsuccessfully sought to market to higher-income shoppers. Wal-Mart has switched back to its emphasis on price.''During the Christmas and holiday season, our price leadership position will benefit both our customers and the company. We have set the stage for a successful fourth quarter,'' Scott said.Wal-Mart has already begun advertising selected discounts to draw in holiday shoppers, equating its markdowns as comparable to what shoppers will find on the day after Thanksgiving, when retailers have doorbuster sales.Third-quarter sales at stores open at least a year, not counting fuel, were up 1.5 percent in the company's U.S. stores, same as a year ago.

| | A Health Plan for Wal-Mart: Less Stinginess | | 2007-11-13 07:25:00 | | For much of the last decade, the retailing behemoth Wal-Mart Stores has been associated with stingy health care as much as low prAcross the country, politicians and labor groups derided the company’s health plans for their high expense and bare-bones coverage. Two states, California and Maryland, even passed laws demanding, in effect, that the company spend more on employee health benefits.“We want this giant to behave itself,” one Maryland legislator, Anne Healey, said at the time.The giant, it turns out, was listening. All the criticism was hurting its reputation and its ability to expand. So now, after spending two years seeking advice from everyone from Bill Clinton to executives at Starbucks, Wal-Mart is overhauling its health plans.The company, according to data available for the first time, is offering better coverage to a greater number of workers. Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest private employer, provides insurance to 100,000 more workers than it did just three years ago — and it is now easier for many to sign up for health care at Wal-Mart than at its rival, Target, whose reputation glows in comparison.Wal-Mart has hardly become a standard-bearer for corporate America: it still insures fewer than half its 1.4 million employees in the United States.But the changes in its policies have accomplished what once seemed impossible. Many of its most ardent critics have put down their pitchforks. Andrew L. Stern, whose Service Employees International Union set up an advocacy group to attack Wal-Mart three years ago, now concedes that “there is clearly a focus on covering more people.”Given Wal-Mart’s unparalleled track record of sharply cutting prices and wringing out inefficiencies, its focus on providing more affordable health care also holds significant promise in taming what has become a runaway expense for the nation.In one sign of its success so far, the company has pushed down the price of 2,400 generic prescription drugs to $4 a month for emp... | | By: online business | | |
| | Young Girl with Serious Health Problems from Drinking Milk From Wal-Mart-Unproven! | | 2007-11-09 06:03:00 | | Summary of the eRumor: The story of an 11-year-old girl who has had menstrual bleeding since she was 8 and has also started lactating. The eRumor says it is because she's been drinking milk injected with rBST, a hormone given to cows to increase their milk production. The eRumor focuses on Wal-Mart Great Value milk as a source of the rBST and recommends against feeding it to your family. The Truth: There is controversy over rBST, which stands for recombinant bovine somatotropin. It is an artificial growth hormone used in cows. We've not found the family of Marissa, the 11-year old girl referenced in the eRumor. If she is real her family's suspicions are worthy of consideration but do not constitute proof that what they describe has been caused by ingesting milk from Wal-Mart. There are other conditions that can cause early menstruation such as hypothyroidism. Also, although there are fears there is not scientific agreement about whether rBST is harmful to humans. RBST is a synthetic version of bST or BGH, a natural growth hormone in cows which, among other things, affects the amount of milk produced by a dairy cow. Use of bST to increase milk production has been around since the 1930's then along then the synthetic version came into popularity. Critics of the use of rBST say that it is banned for use in cattle in virtually every major country in the world except the United States. They point out that there is an increase in health problems in cattle that produce the most milk so the use of rBST should be avoided on that ground. Supporters say rBST helps dairy farmers with better milk yield and that there has not been any proof that the hormone causes problems in humans. It is approved for use by the U.S. Food ... | | By: Geeks Undercover | | |

After reading her post, People Can Be Foul, I knew Crissy Kight of DearCrissy.com had a blog I needed to investigate further. Lo and behold- she once worked at Wally World. How did you survive, girl? I know the Wal-Mart here is full of inbreds who can’t count to 10, much less help someone when they need it- and you certainly don’t appear to be an inbred. For starters, you have a blog and, well, it’s a well-known fact inbreds can’t type. Plus you went to college. Inbreds can’t spell college. No, no, I’m not making fun of her- I seriously don’t know how someone could work there and survive. Then, after reading her “about” section- I knew why.

| | Wal*Mart | | 2007-06-18 06:02:00 | | People who have known me for a while know I don't have a great opinion of Wal*Mart. I grew up in a small town. We had a flourishing downtown area with multiple Mom and Pop stores situated around the courthouse. There were several clothing stores, a paint store where you could also register your china pattern, a music store that sold the latest records AND instruments, pool halls, dime stores, drug stores, and hardware stores, all ran by people who knew exactly where every small part was and could tell you how to use it. Now there are streets lined with nothing but empty storefronts and lawyer's offices. Even the lawyers have to go out to the interstate exit to eat lunch. You can't buy corduroy anywhere. I worked for Wal*Mart in Missouri... decades ago, back when it was a small chain nobody had heard of outside the Midwest. Sam Walton would drop by occasionally. I married a Wal*Mart manager. Things have certainly changed since then! And I'm sure you've noticed. A lot of fol... | | By: Miss Cellania | | |

| | 5 Reasons to Avoid Food From Wal-Mart | | 2007-05-31 12:17:00 | | China has morphed—seemingly overnight—into a dangerous juggernaut run amok into kitchens across America. They’ve jumped onboard the organic food train, and are seizing the opportunity to expand their already massive exports market by adding fresh produce. The real price for cheap strawberries year-round, however, may end up being your health.Just consider this: in the first three months of this year, imports of fresh fruit from China grew by 279 percent and fresh vegetables by 66 percent. This kind of explosive growth of imported fresh produce from, literally, the other end of the earth, has the potential for some pretty dire health ramifications.Wal-Mart is the nation’s largest food retailer. They are also China’s eighth-largest trading partner. Unfortunately, Wal-Mart does not appear to have your best interest at heart, as they spearhead the campaign against stricter food regulations, port inspections and country of origin labeling.China is now almost as known for its toxic... | | By: Full Time Income From Home | | |

| | Wal-Mart Gets a Hybrid Fleet | | 2007-05-17 17:00:50 | | Wal-Mart has decided to purchase this protoype hybrid truck that is supposed to be 7% more efficient than the typical transporter. This Peterbilt Model 386 Hybrid was designed and built by the Pete Store.
The Pete Store writes
“The heavy duty hybrid electric Model 386, configured for on-highway use, is being developed in conjunction with Eaton and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. It is currently in the testing and evaluation phase and is expected to be available in 2010. Wal-Mart, which operates the nation’s second largest private fleet, is supporting development by helping validate the concept and refine the final design.”
“The implementation of Hybrid trucks is an encouraging step towards environmental sustainability and the reduction of emissions throughout the industry,” John Arscott, President of The Pete Store, Inc. said to Business Wire “Wal-Mart is proving to be a leader in this arena, and The Pete Store is pleased to play a part in such a landmark event within the tra... | | By: Zedomax | | |
