They also have a name for not paying slip-and-fall claims. That earns them a powerful enemy in the plaintiff's bar.
I wonder if that isn't where most of the bullshit you read about them comes from.
It's not just slip and fall claims. On all legal matters, they do a cost-benefit analysis. On paying a lot of their bills on time too, which hurts their vendors. They're Wal Mart, what are you going to do, turn down their business when they don't pay?
2 Questions:Hell woman---you were in Arkansas--what did you expect ?
Hey, he had teeth and everything!
Why were you shopping when you were pregnate with twins & on bed rest???
Why would you continue to shop there after being treated like that?

I wasn't aware of the vendor complaints, but looking at the way they keep the stores in my area, I can't say I'm surprised. I'm sure they are overworked, but hell who isn't?
I assumed the stance on slip and falls was due to the fact that they must be a juicy target for scammers. No?
Some companies really know what they are doing. Walmart works smart and everybody that wants to, benefits, in many ways.
FYI:
1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart Every hour of every day.
2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!
3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year.
4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target + Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined.
5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people and is the largest private Employer, and most speak English.
6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the World.
7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger & Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only 15 years.
8. During this same period, 31 supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.
9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.
10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had 5 Years ago.
11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur At a Wal-Mart store. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5 Billion.)
12. 90% of all Americans live within 15 miles of a Wal-Mart.
You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground work for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to Fix the economy.
Don't forget in a lot of rural areas they've driven the competition out of business with the artificially low prices they mysteriously raise once they're the only game in town. I hate Wal Mart, it's horrible to shop there. One day a cahsier even reached out and slapped my son for nothing, being a then three year old and reaching out and touching the bags.
I have a huge laundry list of complaints about Wal Mart, believe me. And all related to the shopping "experience" there. But when you're in an area where other than grocery items the choices are Wal Mart or drive an hour....let's just say the drive doesn't happen that often.
All right, vent over!
Reported her, tried my damndest to get her fired. It didn't work. And having worked at corporate HQ however briefly, I knew that particular tape was already shredded. Not much else I could do without the evidence.

Sorry, but I'm calling bullshit on this.
Either:
1 you're a crappy parent for not calling the cops and making a BIG deal out of it, or
2 You're full of shit.
Nobody - NOBODY - would ever strike 1 of my children without having hell rain down on them.
I'm not a huge WalMart fan, but I do shop there, but your responsibility as a parent is what I'm questioning. It doesn't matter where this allegedly occurred. It could have been WalMart, Target, or wherever. A parent that doesn't protect her children shouldn't have them.
If it were me, it would have been WalMart employees that called the cops, because I would be delivering the Mama Bear beatdown to ANYONE that dared touch my child.
You're certainly entitled to your opinion, for whatever that's worth. Which is, of course, zero. But please, feel free to give your unsolicited opinion on the parenting skills of a person you know nothing about based on an edited recounting of an anecdote posted on a message board. I find it fascinating.

But but, armchair parenting is all the new rage!

No, I have no idea who the hell she is nor do I care. But let her speak. I'm sure whatever marvelous gems of unsolicited criticism she has to impart to a person she doesn't know from jack about the children she knows shit about and a situation described briefly in a post for a public board will be utterly amazing. I'm all ears. Seriously.

More BULLSHIT.
Of course you don't care what I say, that's why you responded.
The fact remains, if your story is true you suck as a parent. Any parent that really cared for their child would jump in and MAKE SURE justice was done. That would include calling the cops, or as I would have done, jumping right in and doing the duty of a parent and PROTECTING THE CHILD.
I personally find it completely unacceptable that someone would ASSAULT my child and I would stand by and do nothing. So yeah, I stand by my initial reaction. You're either full of shit and just trying to make WalMart look bad or you suck as a parent.
So which is it? Have you not got the balls to protect your kids or are you full of shit trying to make WalMart look bad?
If Wal mart is prosecued under RICO so should all mega corps.
Banks, oil companies, telcos, etc.
Actually has Wal Mart grown as the result of mergers and aquisitions or just expansion and competition?
