Wal-Mart Workers Walk Out

You should see how they shaft their vendors.

Hey little furniture maker, we want 10,000 end tables from you. Because we like you and like that you are mking them right here in the USA!

By the way you sell them to us for $2.00 below cost.

What's the big deal little furniture maker? So what if we have sent a sample of your table to China and make a knock off of it that we sell under our own brand?

We want another 10,000 of yours. Oh and you are now selling them to us for $3 less than your cost.

By the way we have 8,000 left over from the first order you have to take back and give us a refund for.

How I wish I was making that up.

I have personally witnessed a manager walk up to an checker and tell her that she needed to clock out and 'go back to shoes'. I assumed that she was clocking out as a checker and in as a shoe person. So I asked her and she said no, that it was off the clock. I was going to go pound on the manager about it and the checker just about had a cow. She said if anything was said they would just fire her and she really needed the job.f

(I have only shopped at a wally world twice in the last year and maybe twice that at Target)

 

No.

K-Mart make a grossly idiotic mistake. See they had this Sunday circular, they practically invented it. They never realized how much business it generated for them. People read the circular and went in.

New CEO comes in and decides that K-Mart needed to go 'upscale'. First he gets rid of the circular. Then they spend a HUGE amount of money to have Martha Stewart sell linens and stuff.

Suddenly the client base doesn't see the circular and are not really the "martha" target audience. So sales dry up from the low end.

The upscale people wouldn't be caught dead in K-mart so the upper end never materialized.

The place pretty much imploded at that point. They fire the CEO and practically the first thing they do is bring back the circular. They stem the blood loss in the short term, but have never really recovered completely.
