Re: I am tired of buying shotty merchandise from walmart
I return so much stuff back to walmart it's not even funny.
Thing with Wally World is, business WANT walmart to buy their products to sell them in the stores.
So Walmart tells them to get them stripped down to a price Walmart wants to pay. In turn, you get cheaply made stuff from a place with cheap prices. It ends up hurting a particular brands reputation, but hey, their keeping their employees working, pumping out crap to walmart.
I'm finding more and more places that sell what I need for the same price if not cheaper than Wally World, so that's where I'm going.

Re: I am tired of buying shotty merchandise from walmart
Pretty much.
I'm a Union Worker so we get to hear all about the evil entity that is Walmart.
Bottom line, you shouldn't shop at Walmart. Granted I still get stuff from there that I need sometimes. But like I said, I'm finding other places to buy from.
I'm also a pro Made In USA guy, so that makes the available stuff I buy from Walmart cut by like 95%.

Re: I am tired of buying shotty merchandise from walmart
I avoid wal-mart like the plague. I just can't shop there knowing their business practices. Only time I go there is if I'm traveling or camping and there's something I need and all I can find is wal-mart.
For me its Target FTW!!

Unfortunately this also means that most of the stuff you'd buy at a store like wal-mart is cut by 95%.

That's what I meant
Yeah, 95% of the crap at Wally World is made in China, Phillipines, Mexico, etc etc...

Re: I am tired of buying shotty merchandise from walmart
Ever since the old man died walmart has gone to the dogs.
I started shopping at target for my cleaning supplies etc.. A long time ago because guess what.... ITS CHEAPER THERE!
SO walmart doesn't have the lowest prices. The electronics suck. There is no selection of clothes, especially for a child, the household supplies are more expensive than other department stores etc..
Besides, if you do happen to find something big like a TV, computer, microwave, PS3, for less at walmart... Best Buy will do a price match! Plus they offer a warantee that walmart can't touch.
Even the grocery section at walmart is more expensive than grocery stores.
Walmart gets a thumbs down from me.

Re: I am tired of buying shotty merchandise from walmart
belive it or not wal mart has changed many of their buisness practices from what they used to be and IS treating their workers in china a LOT BETTER. Their workers at their stores have been getting better wages then what they used to be. The problem is: they used to be such a monster with the union thing, that unions still keep looking BACKWARDS into what wal mart used to be and not what wal mart is now/going to be. And for one, I have purchased some things from wal mart that were broken, but not more than any other store.
