Show how you feel about Wal-mart?

[Edwina's Secretary]

Perhaps you could take a photo of shuttered US factories as the manufacturing of goods moves to China....so Walmart can offer such low prices....or a line of attorneys ...defending Walmart against the many employment lawsuits...or Walmart employees getting government medical coverage instead of company medical ... all so they can offer low prices....

but of course...if you are indifferent....does Walmart ever close? IF so, you could take a photo of the building with no cars or people around.....

p.s. most stores and malls have no photo policies....to protect themselves against people planning buglaries...I would get permission before photographing inside.

It's an interesting question, and since i haven't read everyone's replies here, i may have missed some ideas, but i wanted my response to be my first thoughts. (I will definately read all the posts, after this banter.)
Personally, I'd get the focus from the employees point of view. The day to day operations of the little guy, would make for better grass roots ideas and opinions. I like wal mart less and less. i don't know why. i shouldn't be so harsh to some [thing] that's never hurt me. But i know that sometimes, it's a struggle to use a small time vendor, if it's more expensive. But you have to know, you're not being ripped off. You're only covering costs and hospitality.
Not being ripped off. So many tmes, we let our pocketbook's bottom line support our decision, rather than our brain. It's not like it used to be. Savings now, effects country and labor work force in the future. What's sad, is the decisions to save are based on unfair tax gouges that make our yearly income so much less than it should be in a reasonable administration. *hops off soapbox*

And Wikipedia has quite a long, thorough listing:

And many of us here are insisting that NO Wal-Mart is going to suck the life out of our community! I have written council already, and the paper is next.

Stores here are already cutting their hours due to not enough staff - it's a problem all over Calgary and area! What the hell do we need a big box like WM for????

Okay, I'll go breathe now....
