1. ...And they got that way by Screwing EVERYBODY.....Sales-Help...

.. Manufacturers, Distributor..and god knows who else.
The most sorry, no-good, Human-Garbage, Leeching, pieces of shit that
ever opened up a door...

[Ron Green]

2. What strikes me is the profitability of the oil companies and banks.

Slavery never went away; it just changed form.

[marmar]

3. 9 of the top 10 are auto or oil companies.....

and the other one is a slave-wage retailer.

And people wonder why we're heading for an economic and ecological disaster. :scared:

[Rage for Order]

4. Interesting...

Exxon's profit margin: 11.37%
Wal Mart's profit margin: 3.21%
Costco profit margin: 1.83%
LG's profit margin: 0.7%

just to show a few

[piedmont]

5. They shovel the Chinese-made shit to people who lost their jobs because the Chinese make all the...

shit we used to make here. It's a big ole snowball, rolling downhill.

[sandnsea]

6. Because we subsidized Walmart's labor costs

They stole that profit right out of our pockets. When are Americans going to get it.

[Kiouni]

7. Is Costco a good company?

We are getting one here in Omaha and I am curious. I believe Wallyworld is the devil and I won't give them a dime but I have heard good things about Costco.

[Ron Green]

8. If you've gotta shop a big box full of Chinese stuff, shop at Costco.

They treat their employees well and their "high end" things (we bought some very nice custom-made blinds that are contracted out from a company here in the Northwest) are especially nice.

I agree that Wal*Mart is the Devil's own store.

[brettdale]

9. Walmart makes more than the Oil compaines?

Walmart makes more than the Oil companies?

[SidDithers]

10. Holy shit, $351 billion in revenue...

that's alot of cheddah.

Sid
