Hidden costs, public burden: The real toll of Walmart's "always low prices"
Instead of paying a living wage to their employees, taxpayers are footing the bill
Wal-Mart: the High Cost of Low Price (2005)
Still very relevant.
Their prices aren't even low anymore.
think I gotta swindle more from them than I do right now
I love the yellow discount stickers with scanner tags
I haven’t been inside a Wally-World in more than two decades. It’s sickening how much they take advantage of while contributing basically nothing of value or substance except for their billionaire family owners.
Omg. This is horrible. Shop at Target and small businesses.
Fuck Target. It’s just another corpo that’s just as horrible as Walmart.
I’d LOVE to shop small businesses in my town. Guess what. There aren’t any. Our options are Walmart, some shitty Kroger derivative, your pick of something like six shitty Dollar stores, and Aldi.
Edit to add: Even if I did have some decent local/small businesses to shop, I likely couldn’t afford it because like the vast majority of people, I’m an underpaid, undervalued wage slave.
You can shop at small business in your town. Just buy a bunch of crap on aliexpress for cheap, figure out how much Walmart sells it for, mark it up 50% more and give that money to the richest person in your town. Done.
Lol ok, Target
Hate to break it to you, but I doubt Target is that much better. I mean, I still pick them over WalMart tho
I don't think target is any better than walmart these days.
somehow people think they are, but I rather doubt it.
