Show how you feel about Wal-mart?

I hope you can show us the picture you chose when you are done?

I'm curious, what exactly is everyones problem with Walmart? I think I must be missing something because if it is about low pay well where have you been lol A LOT of places pay only minimum wage, many many many many many many many places. And it takes away from local businesses? so do all department stores and big name pharmacies, and even grocery stores. So please fill me in on what the problem is with Walmart. I am not being sarcastic... I really want to know.

If you are not sure how you feel about it then that is what your photos should show, basically every aspect of it, the good the bad & the inbetween.

Me too! I love the prices & convenience yet I also love to help out the smaller businesses, unfortunatly my paycheck does not allow me to shop at the smamer stores. :( (granted some other things about walmart irritate me as well, but for the most part I like it if it wasn't for them taking down all the mom & pop stores)

A picture of a row of closed businesses downtown for a negative impression.

A shot from outside of the hustle and bustle at WalMart itself for a positive one. (These are the pics I'd take for this assignment.)

haha last time I had a camera in wal mart we were asked to leave... :rolleyes: So be careful, though if you say it's a school assignment they might let you get away with it

I didn't want to leave my camera in the truck while I was in the store the other day, and, I just went up to the front host, and, told him I had the camera. He asked me a couple of questions, asked me not to take any photos (which I had no intentions of doing), and, that was that. So, I don't think photos are allowed in the store, but, you might be able to ask permission and have an exception made. But, you can get your point across without even having to display the walmart logo or even show the building. Good luck, let us know how it turns out. I think it's a cool assignment, as it does seem to be a topic of discussion in america right now.

What is up with that? No pictures allowed? Oh well.

Walmart - I don't really care for that store..

In the book "How Wal-Mart is destroying America and the World (and what you can do about it)", there is a story of an elderly lady who had a little notebook. She would jot down prices of items at different stores to see where the lowest price was.

She and her husband are pensioners. They had to do this.

She was "caught" doing this in Wal Mart and told she couldn't do that. I don't recall if her notebook was confiscated or not.

Another interesting point in that book - WalMart doesn't ALWAYS have the lowest prices.

If small businesses can't compete - why is WM paranoid about the photos and price checking?
