If you haven't seen this riveting, horrifying documentary you must spend a little time and watch it. Learn how hypocritical, greedy, corrupt & disgusting the powers-that-be at Wal-Mart really are. For those fo you that still patronize them, PLEASE DON'T!

I have only ONCE been in a Wal-Mart, many many years ago. As soon as I learned more about them, they were struck off my list of places to shop. Their leadership are lying, greedy hypocrites who not only exploit their American workers, but also the factory workers all over the world who manufacture their products. See how Wal-Mart pretends to be a good neighbor when in reality they are bringing shoddy goods to the US and misery to the poor who work in their foreign factories. Watch their pious mouthings about caring for their customers and the communities in which they are located and contrast it with the statistics and interviews presented in the very revealing and - to me - shocking expose.

Cate,Thank You, I fear Wal-Mart,'They are capable of anything! I know I worked for Sam's Club for just short of 8 years. They violated my rights I took it to the state.I could not get an attorney no one wants to fight them they are the DEVIL himself.They can make you out to be a terrible person,I almost believed it myself.I knew my work was very good I was not given credit. I only worked part time. They tried to increase hours.I'm disabled I cannot work like that and I did there is alot to the story I can not say.
I cry today because I sold my soul for a penny,I was so tired,I wanted it over. Now I wish I could have fought ....

WOW....LONG video! Watched part of it. Will have to watch the rest later. I try to shop at the mom and pop places most of the time. I do go to wal-mart if it is my last resource. I live nearby it now. I use to NOT shop there at all. I HATE IT! But sometimes it is the only place I can find what I need. I live in a SMALL town. Not many places to shop. I do wish they would ALL GO AWAY tho. I don't agree with their practices at all. Noted....thanks!

I don't shop at WalMart because of their corrupt billing practices .
I pay all my bills faithfully the first of the month and there never was a problem except when it came to WalMart who has a practice of moving thier billing date without notice and charging late fee's and higher interest rates if you happen to pay ahead of time. They don't apply that payment to the month you paid it in they apply it to the previous month you already paid and call you late on the month you sent the payment to them for !
I will never step a foot in WalMart again !
