(6,309 posts)... it's "my walmart". It's also (insert your name here) to imply I said anything to anyone about celebrating the loss of jobs. I was specifically talking about celebrating the closings of the Walmart stores and lamenting the job losses at the same time. It doesn't do shit for the employees. Everyone knows, and is not happy with what walmart has done over the years but it is done, and wanting to reverse the trend may be a noble undertaking, but it will be a long haul to accomplish that. The employees cannot wait or survive while waiting for its fruition. Ask any employee of Walmart if they are happy that their store is closing and that they will lose their job. I would venture to say that the answer would be a resounding "NO". Given that, and the acceptance that my actions may benefit the Walmart conglomerate in a miniscule way, I stand with the employees.
1 additional note. I would be willing to bet that half of those here who deny ever shopping at Walmart are probably not being wholly truthful. Let the indignity begin.
