Yeah, I agree May, we don't shop at Wal-Mart at all. We actually don't really buy much besides food and a little gas.

Shhhhh... you're talkin' about America's company store. For shame! ;c)

Just try not to shop there. I've been avoiding Wal-Mart for years. Unfortunately, sometimes I have to - like for dog food. But I don't buy much of anything there. I have a problem with foreign made goods - so I try as much as possible to shop consignment or thrift or even yard sales. You'd be surprised. I don't mind if it's good used, but I'll be darned if I'll buy retail when I can almost new, gently worn or new with tags in a consignment store. I rarely shop there for food (we have two Super Wal-Marts). I'd rather go downtown to a funky little grocery store down by the mission. If they don't have it, you don't need it.

He probably smashed the TVs for some strange reason, maybe he's not all there, but the story still struck me as being funny.

Bravo my good man! At least is was a pleasant read :D

Getting caught like that IS stupid....and I don't think that smashing even 290 flat-screens would really hurt WallyMart.... 29,000....flats-creens across the nation...now that would hurt them. But that, my dear Watson...would also be a nationally coordinated effort toooooo......

Well getting caught defeats the purpose of the act, going to the warehouse and smashing all the flatscreens for the region would be a hit to the giant. Especially if it could be done several times. but you know it wouldn't really damage them all that much, i doubt Wal-Mart will survive the collapse. Getting locked up over hurting Wal-Mart is dumb.
