Walmart Must Pay $188 Million to Settle Claims of Cut Rest Breaks

For many new businesses that make food, Walmart offers the fastest way to maximize profit. Walmart will buy pretty much all their inventory and if you are a new business who is struggling this is one of the ways you will survive is if you have a constant customer base of demand

I am reminded of the candy maker who walmart forced a factory size increase on, putting them into debt, then forced them to sell their candy at a lower cost, they had no choice, sell at near cost to wal-mart or lose everything.

They shit on farmers, hard, go read up what they do to farmers.

Or how about you just go look up Vlasic pickles, that right there should be enough for people to stop shopping at walmart.

Low prices because they use inferior materials even on identical products, companies are forced to make wal-mart specific products that are a lower quality than products branded the exact same at other stores

As for the nations, you seem to be forgetting that if walmart did not exist there would be a vacuum filled with stores that would provide more for the nations in taxes, as well as provide more and better jobs, you know jobs that dont require you to be on foodstamps when working 40 hours a week.

You are blinded by wal-mart existing as it is. They don't need to treat everyone else shitty just to bring low price, choice (roflmao, cmon), and late night availability. All that exists without wal-mart, and it all existed before wal-mart.

I get that its a business, and all that goes with that, but we as consumers tell businesses that what they aer doing is not OK, with our dollars.

To put it maybe into a better perspective for you, imagine if a store near you provided the best products at the lowest prices, but also heavily promoted the "gay agenda". Would your community not band together to get them removed? Would people not rail against them and tell them they are going to hell?

That feeling is similar to the vitriol most people feel towards companies like wal-mart, but for non-asshole reasons. American mercantilism thinly veiled as Capitalism is leeching wealth from your country, wake up dude. Do it for your children, would you want them being raised in a country full of gays? I mean walmarts.
