[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 1344742, member: 1535"] +1 to everything. My daughter has been at the newer store in rural BA while shes been in HS and is planning to transfer to a store near wherever she decides to go to college next year as she is more than satisfied with working there. A friend of ours used to babysit for one of the boys kids in Bentonville and they were supposedly some of the nicest most community minded people around. Not evil at all. Alice might have had a little trouble with her drunk driving around Springdale but she has spent alot of money in the area. Probablyu just trying to make up for it. JBs trucking success went right along with WalMart success. Their headquarters is pretty nice. I met Mr Sam at a jobsite once in Ft Smith,late 80s. And he did come driving up in an old Chevy pickup with overalls on. He gathered up the people inside who were going to be working there when we finished and they went to the parking lot and sang the WalMart song. Bizarre because I had heard about it but never seen it,and kind of cool in a way. I got to shake his hand and he was nice to every one on the site. WalMart isnt perfect. Their tactics of bullying manufacturers into their price structures and bulk selling and manufacturering goods just for and to them,not exactly honestly selling all American made products or all products in the store are not the lowest you can find,they do go into these small towns and put in stores and almost close up their downtown districts,etcetc- some pretty ****** stuff. Sams beginning philosophies though have most likely had to be adjusted. A company who leads the world in retailing in a global market, a company that has gotten so big so fast that it just couldnt stay the same as when Sam opened his first store. New people coming into corporate with new ideas. WE might bitch about them and looks like alot of people hate them but we do shop there. My son jokes that theyre going to take over the planet and some day we all will be working there. Maybe so. [/QUOTE]
