Wal-Mart Monopoly

You know why people shop at Walmart and not small businesses? Because they CAN'T afford to pay more from a small business for the same goods.

Someone tried to run a CD store here. Yes, they carried uncensored CDs and stuff Walmart didn't, but at $20 per CD they went out of business.

Target won't even open a store in my area, so they have no right to whine that I'm not going to make an hour's drive to the nearest Target store. Not liek their prices are really much better.

If they would simply expand their toy department, restock more often and get more exclusive lines, they could easily crush Toys R Us, a store that already charges higher prices.

Walmart opposes capitalism? Walmart is the very product of capitalism. But this happens every time a company becomes big. Microsoft is a monopoly. Why? It's not their fault Macs aren't gaming platforms and cost more. It's not their fault people buy PCs to play games on. It's not their fault Sun Microsystems doesn't sell PCs. I once heard the presidennt of Sun claiming that MS was holding back PC development by 10 years, I call bullshit on that. They're a monopoly because more people have a use for their products. Nothing more.

Capitalism. A gateway to success, but don't be too successful or people complain.

Full-time associates? How many of those are there per store other than management?
 
[quote name='JolietJake']They could give people more hours if they would open up more than 5 fucking checkout lanes.[/QUOTE]

You know full well that more than 5 lanes of moving merchandise would cause a cloud of lethal lead dust.

What do you think is blocking out all of the hazardous lead particles? A higher concentration of lead particles.

South Park references are not nerd references.
 
Yes. I am a nerd and I had no idea what he was talking about.

I watched the first two seasons of southpark back in ancient history and that was enough for me.
