Posted at numerous sites; I don't know who wrote it, but I like what they wrote. "Wal-Mart vs The Morons of Washington 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. Patrickâs 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. (Earthâs 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." Seneca
Luke....Seneca posted some interesting information and i thought it might a good thing if you were part of government. why are you always so angry . .
GM "Once the Worldâs Largest Company" There's probably others in history who have made the list and are now kaput. -------------------- Is this because the others were so bad? Or WMT is so good? Doesn't seem to be many revolutionary retail concepts with wall mart except they treat vendors like shit and maybe they have a good import dept.
Walmart is the best thing (retail wise) to ever hit the USA. The only challenge is whether you can tolerate many of the people who shop there. Some are extremely disgusting.
