walmart be aware broken items are placed back on the shelves for others to buy.Check out Ripoff.com

The Wal-Mart is only as good as the associates that work there..ie: so if the employees don't care then the customer service sucks..also most people who complain about Wal-Mart being so bad are the ones who break the crap that is being put back on the on the shelf broken.

Brings us down to the old statement..."You Get what you pay for" You pay for something cheap you know its going to break quicker, so don't abuse it!

It is unbelievable that so much space has been committed to talking about an institution that was created by us, is managed by others who export our needs to the world, and sells us our own desires at the price we command.
And we have the audacity to bitch about ANY of it?
Unions? Right to work? Abuse of employees?
There isn't a person in this string that hasn't shopped at Walmart. We play make believe with the concept.....we serve our wallets.

Looks like Newburgh is going to get screwed like Henderson did.

The evil empire moves forth!

People in America need to realize jus what got America in this shape…”cheap” yes so-call cheap items from a foreign land.

quote*Wal-Mart firmly believes in local procurement. We recognize that by purchasing quality products, we can generate more job opportunities, support local manufacturing and boost economic development. Over 95% of the merchandise in our stores in China is sourced locally. We have established partnerships with nearly 20,000 suppliers in China.*end quote!

Now! if there be 182 country’s making items for the world to buy and they have only 5% of the pie in China…duh! This company makes the nice people of China support their currency(yuan) by keeping it in their country working for the people there…. but with the “yuan” going up in value and the US dollar going down…all the foreign items that the American consumer buys thinking it is cheap has went up in price.

People…its all about the currency and to keep a currency strong you got to keep it floating around the country you live in so it can work for you. For the past 12 years all them US dollars are being shipped overseas to a foreign bank and with the American worker not making anything for the foreigner to buy the “we the people” have to turn to the “second” largest employer in America(Uncle Sam) to sell “we the people” debt in order to get all them dollars back!

50 years ago a foreigner would had given their left nut for a US dollar or a Hershey’s chocolate bar and today the same foreigner has got Uncle Sam and the American consumer by both all the while Hershey is moving the chocolate factory to Mexico. Wake up! America and think “MADE IN AMERICA.”

quote*"Considering that there are over 30,000 ships at sea this morning," writes James Carlton, director of the Williams College-Mystic Seaport Maritime Studies Program, in an e-mail, "the total number of organisms and species in this global 'bioflow' on the morning your readers read your piece could be staggering - billions of individuals, and thousands of species."

Indeed, scientists have long considered ballast water the primary way invasive aquatic organisms are introduced. From the zebra mussel's arrival in the Great Lakes, to an American jellyfish severely disrupting Black Sea fisheries, the potential costs of accidental introduction of a species to new homes can be tremendous. Aquatic invasives cost the US $9 billion yearly, according to estimates by David Pimentel, professor emeritus of ecology and evolutionary biology at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. Zebra and quagga mussels (a cousin to the zebra) alone cost the $1 billion annually.*end quote!

tat is $9 billion a year in hidden taxes to all Americans...
cheap ain't chic and it cost America..........jobs!

Newburgh walmart is awesome! Hardly ever crowded! No waiting in lines to checkout, you can just walk right up to one of the several idle check out workers. Much better than evansville.
