The small businesses the Walmarts displace don't leave, they usually shut down.
I have no use for those stinkin' roach infested, Third World ratholes that pay their people next to nothing while their white billionaire masters, twice removed from shoveling shiite in stalls, parade their accomplishments and charitable largesse around like down syndrome peacocks.

First they came for the oil companies,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't an oil baron.

Then they came for the coal producers,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a coal miner.

Then they came for Walmart,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trailer trash redneck.

Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me.

So as long as you agree with the presumed attempt that everything's okay.

I don't remember being in a Walmart when I was out there come to think of it..... It was about 20 years ago tho.... The Super Walmart here stays busy and attracts all kinds of course but it's far from disgusting.. there are much worse places to shop.... 😟

Interesting that you see large corporations as people.
Or is it that you don’t think of yourself as a person?

Walmart actually schools new hires on how to apply for government welfare support so they can get by on the less than living wage they provide. The US tax payer is supporting Walmart so that they can be more profitable.

Walmart Turns Workers Into Welfare Queens
POSTED BY CIENNA MADRID ON THU, JUN 6, 2013 AT 3:45 PM
Go read this infuriating story in Mother Jones:
Walmart's wages and benefits are so low that many of its employees are forced to turn to the government for aid, costing taxpayers between $900,000 and $1.75 million per store, according to a report released last week by congressional Democrats.
... The company also happens to elegantly epitomize the divide between the top and bottom in America: the collective wealth of the six Waltons equals the combined wealth of 48.8 million families on the other end of the economic spectrum. The average Walmart worker making $8.81 per hour would have to work for 7 million years to acquire the Walton family's current wealth.

Good for Washington. Screw Walmart – they deserve it.

I don't really care about Walmart getting screwed... the law doesn't affect just them.... 😟

The open market for the little guy is on vital life support. Only folks thriving these days are multibillion dollar black hole monoliths that suck everything in their wake and offer Chinese assembly line mediocrity or $9 dollar laundry loads for the military.

I'm not surprised that Walmart is teaching its employees how to cheat the system in order to pay less. That seems to be the norm these days.

Oh, hell. I shop at Wallyworld too. Let’s face it, you just can’t beat Walmart for a barge on knitted hats.
I just hate is when common people stand up for people like the Waltons – while they screw us blind . . .

I’m not sure petty theft is really a good answer. But while many here may disagree – the forced wage does sound like a good beginning to fix the problem.

Well, I’m not sure that would be good for every situation. But I would agree that the minimum wage needs to be raised.
Maybe they are taking on the fact cats first because they are an easy mark . . . .

There is no good reason whatsoever to shop at walmart.

There are screaming children everywhere. Fat people walking slowly in the middle of the aisle, pushing giant shopping carts full of crap they don't need.

There is no reason to even be in those places.

All kidding aside, you cannot just dissmiss the value of "The People of Walmart" web site. It has true redeaming social value - as a bad example.
