      Pizza Pizza, I began boycotting them as soon as they came to my state almost 20 years ago, & I'm happily still going strong!! Sure, I could save $2 on the blood, sweat, & tears of overseas child laborers or the underpaid single moms & elderly employees, but, poor as I am, my integrity is worth more than that blood money!!

      Hillary Clinton sat on that Board of Directors from 86 to 92 as the single woman there, she never lobbied for more women be added, and she never spoke against the anti-union practices of this beneficiary of NAFTA (that her husband and Al-Gore passed in 93), here is Al-Gore lying for 75mins on Larry king for NAFTA:

    By the way, the employees who get assistance typically have to use that 'state money' at walmart so not only did walmart not have to pay the employee, but the employee gives the welfare check back to their employer. (As in shopping where they work) Walmart even issues a form of gift certificate rather than a check for employees who don't have bank accounts so they have to spend their entire check at walmart... kinda wish I had thought of that hahaha, beyond shady business practice that made them horrifically rich. Talk about getting paid hand over fist.. that's a serious business plan.

      The funny thing is that so many of the Americans that go to WM think of themselves as church going patriotic conservative citizens but they are supporting a business that gets the vast majority of its non-food goods from Communist China. They also think Trump is going to bring back American manufacturing jobs when he himself outsourced jobs, used Chinese steel in his hotels, used undocumented aliens, cheated his employees and contractors. They also believe that if America helps manufacture a crisis in the Middle East Jesus will be forced to intervene and come back. We laugh at this when Muslims talk like this but pander to it in America.

      Actually, in a lot of places, walmart's prices aren't that much lower than other stores. They typically get into a market with cut-throat prices to kill competition. But, before long, they bring the prices back up and you don't end up saving much, if any money.

      I'm also boycotting Walmart. They have horrible practices overseas and the US. Overseas they've done everything from employing child workers to make their jeans, several lawsuits against them due to they refused to pay people the minimum wage in the countries the workers were working at (some of these countries had minimum wages as low as 40 cents a day), they've had problems of off shoring profits into tax havens to avoid paying taxes on over 78 billion dollars, they under pay the workers to the point that they need government assistance just to live, and their stores are undermanned making the few workers they have being in charge of larger areas.

    I work here at Walmart in Texas, and just today these dudes got caught stealing, also not too long ago like 3 months ago, high school students Did a beer run, which happens often. Walmart security is pretty low, if you are going to steal from this store, stay away from the cameras, security heavily relies on those to catch thefts. But be careful, once you get caught they won't be too kind hearted.

    One day I went into a Walmart. A customer was arguing with the cashier about something (I didn't get the gist of It, they were speaking in a foreign language). As they talked, he was lightly slapping her in the race. And laughing. I was her next customer. She told me this was a common occurrence and she complained to management to no avail. Nowhere else have I ever seen a customer physicalmly attack an employee like that. That was the last time I shopped at a Walmart. I quite possibly won't again.

      This is one of the best comments I have read on UA-cam. I find this video frustrating in many ways. I know the political bent of the creators. Still, they have a lot of facts here, which makes the topic thought provoking. And then, at about 8:16 or so, the woman decides to say "mindless working class Republicans..." Among other things, it was totally unnecessary and didn't further her argument in the least. Despite the fact that I do not see any comments by Nature Boy*, to whom you addressed your writings, I wanted to say "thank you." It was fun reading what you wrote.

    • @sarahnorton5299
      @sarahnorton5299 8 років тому

      +William Postill yes. It probably has to do with price differences between men's and women's clothing. Women's clothes can cost 10x the price of men's clothes for the same amount of fabric used. I also think there are more pressures on women to have an outfit for everyday of the week or even month. Women are pressured to buy far more than men are and when they can't afford it they think they need to steal to have it. If it were the other way around Men would be stealing at far greater numbers. Women are pressured to buy makeup, nail polish, shoes, clothing, hair products, perfumes, feminine hygiene products, and much more. I'm not condoning women stealing I'm simply explaining why I think they do it more.

      Workers should take over Walmart like a Mondragon worker owned collective.. cut the Waltons out of the mix and run it democratically with the community instead.. sharing the profits and improving wages, not giving it all to a bunch of greedy capitalists and their division and property thug en-forcing police.

    This is almost exactly what the Target in my town in Saint George, Utah is doing. They consolidated our security and lowered our hours to the point of us not being able to do our job efficiently then told us we were terrible employes for it even though we were the top store in our district for 5 years in a row until the changes that happened and we started to lose money on theft and it was our fault for not watching out for people stealing product. they also put most of their employees down to part time and told us we still have health benefits but we had to work full time to get it but it was near impossible to get full time if you had a family they wanted us to work in the afternoon i worked early morning shifts so i had time to take care of my family because my wife had to work to make up for the loss of money they would tell me i was a bad employ because i could not cover shifts an i would tell them i could not do some of the things they wanted me and my fellow employes to do because of the lack of hours it drained us. So me and the backroom team quite because of the verbal abuse and now they can't complete the job at all and have stated they wish we would have stayed. Well that's what the executives get for telling us we were bad employees the funny part is some of them worked with us then became executives and just became greedy. Like TYT said they only see money and the short term solutions not what's best in the long term we were even told by one of the bosses that did not agree with the way things were going that was what was going on. Companies like Target and Wal-mart are the worst Target is just better at hiding it than Wal-mart is.

      whyamimrpink78 Store hours and bulk versus single goods are not some variable that mandates a difference in employee compensation or store security. Walmart is perfectly capable of paying higher wages and taking security more seriously, just as Costco is capable of doing the opposite. It's a matter of priorities.

    This is the way all working class jobs will be until the robots take over.
    Lower the workforce as much as possible, have remaining workers fill in as many roles as possible, wait for everyone to adapt to new status quo, then repeat. All while automating as many tasks as possible (which will include management - a computer and tracking workers locations is all that takes really). Some sort of Socialism/Communism is the only hope in the future where "jobs" are all automated.

    I was a merchandiser for a well known company that services Walmart. Maintaining a display near an entrance of the store during a 4 week period, I witnessed 3 separate incidents of mass shoplifting. Each scenario involved a shopping cart full of unbagged merchandise heading out the door. I reported the first 2 incidents each time. After the 2nd time, I asked why there was no one at the door. I was told "off the record" that management crunched the numbers and it was cheaper to take the loss, rather than pay someone to watch the door. I stopped reporting after that.

  • @MWSfan18
    @MWSfan18 8 років тому

    I live equidistant between two Walmarts and am employed by one of them. Both have major theft issues. The mayors of the cities where these stores are located have called out Walmart because of the excessive amount of time the police are there, and the city I work in passed a law in 2014 requiring uniformed security to be present at all shopping centers 1 hour before and after close. Unfortunately crime hasn't been detered. We used to call for security checks for different "zones" regularly and that helped deter theft, but the store was so worried about being PC that they stopped. Of course, the theft rate rose. We are a 24/7 store as well, and for 1 each night all the employees are off the sales floor for their meal break which is essentially rolling out the red carpet for theives, who have taken advantage of the opportunity. Our pharmacy got robbed of $4000 worth of merchandise and it is located right next to an unsecured fire exit.

      That's sort of true. They can however, have more people watching, more cameras working (many are out of commission permanently due to lack of maintenance). They can have more people who are trained to monitor the security systems and keep the hardware working. To your point about getting physical, true is the fact they can't actually apprehend and detain people, however they CAN hire deputized law officers to do that work. All of these measures work very well in Las Vegas casinos. The problem with all of this is that it all costs REAL money, money that the Evil Empire wants for it's self. The final kicker behind all of this is a fact that is not even covered in this particular video. That being The Evil Empires practice of extracting sweetheart deals from these poor little towns in the form of huge tax abatements and zoning variations in exchange for building and staffing a store with a couple of hundred minimum wage jobs. In those cases the tiny little towns end up adding a couple thousand man hours to their policing burden (think two cops 2 calls a day plus paperwork vehicles etc and you get to 10 hours a day of extra work) Times 365 days a year comes to 3650 hours a year. That's two full time cops. Yea there is a robbery going on here, and The Evil Empire AIN'T the victim!

      The amount of security is a function of the rate of crime and disturbances at a location. In (away from the border) Walmarts (and other stores) of Canada, there are no guards. What for? In the center of, say, Detroit, USA, there is a small army.

    They come in claiming, "Jobs! Tax revenue! Better lives for people in your town!"
    Then they sue to reduce or eliminate their tax liabilities. They run local businesses out of business with undercutting prices on marginal goods. And they begin to COST taxpayers money for security, healthcare, food, housing, and everything else. And get rich in the process.

    They also hamstring the security/asset protection team by requiring insane restrictions on actually making a stop. Also the asset protection team is required to maintain safety checks by stocking the OSHA stations, maintaining eye wash stations, checking fire doors, etc. On top of all of this, local police departments do not punish anyone that steals from Walmart, they give them appearance tickets. If they don't show up, they get a bench warrant. Even if they are caught again while they have a warrant, they still get another appearance ticket. Many of the thefts are conducted by Organized Retail Crime, and these ORC groups are commuting many of the acts of violence.

  • @martiwaterman1437

    Usually don't care for the histrionics when presenting news stories, but almost everything they described has occurred at my local Walmart. In many places, WM parking lots are danger zones especially for elderly or distracted shoppers deemed easy targets by criminals . My local store used to be open 24hours but changed to midnight closing due to shoplifting. Tens of thousands of dollars of inventory stolen annually. Thieves would fill up shopping carts and run them out the door with no fear of being caught. The store does have security guards but they are unarmed and in their 70s. What are they going to do? Local police and sheriffs' deputies are now a regular presence. The store does have greeters though as well as well as a fair number of above average workers who deserve better.

  • @dawnkatz8452
    @dawnkatz8452 8 років тому +1

    I interviewed Walmart Security honchos for a college class report. Walmart tolerates 11% annual loss on inventory screened in compared against what gets paid for (tracked by barcodes at the register). Walmart refrains from calling the police on shoplifters because the police are understaffed and the police resent being Walmart security funded by the taxpayer. Walmart needs to pay for their own security... which they don't. Walmart pays for insurance to cover the 11% loss... (insurance that honest paying customers subsidize). What Walmart does do is bust their employees for theft. Walmart prosecutes employees to the full extent of the law because they want to scare other employees into being honest. The Walmart Security honchos I interviewed stated privately that they HATE how Walmart keeps trimming their ranks and making the job of stopping shoplifters impossible. Walmart management is despicable. And very short-sighted. Walmart invites problems, because rats travel in packs and they tell each other where the easy pickings are. Walmart has made itself into a target. Pun intended.

Also it was nearly impossible to do the job of preventing theft, because you can't touch the customers or follow them. Yet I was always yelled at for not preventing loss.
    Finally, I caught pneumonia working in front of the doors in the dead of winter. Management refused to take my doctor's note, claimed I had to go through some bogus process no one had told me about, and threatened to fire me because I was too sick to go to work.
    I quit and I'm thankful everyday that I did, if I had stayed there I probably would have ended up killing myself.

    This same practice is being done at a few retailers, reducing in-store security and adding the responsibility of shortage control to other employees, basically telling them to approach the shoplifter, thief, assailant or whomever while another employee calls the police. This not only passes the cost of security along to taxpayers, but it also puts untrained employees at risk of being attacked. I worked at a Macy's store where they drastically reduced the security staff to the point where all security really did was watch the employees to see who was stealing.

And all this time the thief normal has more then enough time to steal and get out of the store before anyone who as the proper authority can stop him. Also we where told if we tried to stop them we would end up being fired because walmart thought we might get them sued.

    "Employers" should be FINED TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS PER DAY for every underpaid employee on their payroll, and LOSE THEIR BUSINESS LICENSE FOR TEN YEARS per every employee working "under the table". America would not only be great AGAIN, but more people would be happy for the first time EVER.

    A friend of mine was stabbed 16 times in a Walmart parking lot as part of a gang-related initiation where two initiates attacked her and tried to steal her car. The only reason she survived was her car was a stick shift and they didn’t know how to operate it, so they abandoned her and the vehicle and she was able to get to her phone in the cup holder.
