I HATE Walmart!! They come into a town and destroy every mom & pop business in the area! The workers in other countries if their lucky, make around $3 a day! What you buy in a Walmart store for $15.00, costs Walmart 18 cents to produce!

I watched a tv program all about Walmart on the Current channel 2 times in the past few days. And yes, Walmart does own their own factories in several countries!

you realize that walmart isn't the only store that jacks there prices like that correct? Everything we purchase is a product of money greeding bussiness people. The only time you get the close to actual price is from the producer not a retailer who has to make there money as well. Why do you think they say cut out the middle man and things will change

I agree, it made me sick as well. It also talked about how they encourage their employees to get on welfare! Sick!
