wow.

This week has been interesting. coming into this class you never know what you might learn. before class on Monday i used Wal-Mart almost all the time. "Oh i ran out of so and so lets make a trip to Wal-Mart," "Oh i wonder if they've gotten any thing new for the Cowboys," "hey it's 3am on a friday night and we dont have anything to do, lets go mess around in Wal-Mart." simple things like that always make for an adventure at Wal-Mart.

Coming from a small town compared to Austin, Wal-Mart is where you go if you need ANYTHING! Whether it's cheap on school supplies, clothes, food, and even a 30 pack of budlight. yeah don't ask me how i know that :) haha. But anyway Wal-Mart is always there if you need anything. after watching that film on how much of a scam Wal-Mart truly is, i don't know if I can shop there again.

well, you already know what Wal-Mart truly is. i want to know how come i didn't know about this before. i'm still in shock that this is actually happening. with some publicity as to how the corporation is really treating its employees, you would think that it would keep people from trying to get a job there or even the ones that are currently employed there want to quit.? but obviously that isn't the case because there are still just as many employees as there are Wal-Marts across the world.

what really got me is that were paying people across the world to make the things that go in our stores and what do they get in return? about 20 cents an hour. they work almost all day, 7 days out of the week, and to be making that little amount. are you kidding me!!!! not to mention they lie about the reality of these conditions and it works. you would think someone would want to speak up about it but i don't know if that's happened or would.

another thing, the Walton's make all this money from their millions of stores throughout the world and they continue to be greedy. by not sharing their money with charities that really need the money or even their hard workers that are making this much money for them, do not distribute the wealth as they should. greedy people with power these days.


this film has put a lot things into perspective for me. to know that as wealthy as they are, they don't care. as long as they continue to make money they will always have the upper hand. one day this industry will come falling down and i wonder who will be there for them in the end.

To all the hard working employees who continue to work for this bullshit of a corporation, you deserve the utmost respect.
