I know some local, small business owners that have done very well since wal_marts have moved in. A friend of my owns a sporting goods store. His sells has went up since wal_mart moved in a few years ago. Why? Because wal_mart does not specialize. He will get you any gun you want in 3 days or less, try buying something special at wal_mart. You get the good deal, on the average item, but that is where it ends. > [@I Need To Fix...](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/i-need-to-fix/28118/10): > > Funny, I worked for walmart for 2 years. You start at 6.00/hr. After 90 days you go to 6.25/hour. Every year after that you get a raise of between .10 and .25/hour. If you are promoted to a Department Manager you make 9.75/hour. After one year as a Department manager you can earn the next ‘level’ pay. Generally Department managers top out around 10.50/hour. Thats funny. For someone who has ‘heard’ and someone who has ‘been there, done that’ your figures are pretty inaccurate. > As for the people who work at places such as Taget, Kohls, Wendy’s, JoAnn’s, Best Buy, Red Lobster, Pet Smart, and Bravos… More often than not- theyy bus in. Just look at the bus stops on the way to and from the city. There are always people waiting for a bus. There are also several busses that stop several times to bring people to and from the city all the way there. Do you just assume ALL the people that are getting off the bus on McKnight in the morning (outbound) worked a night shift somewhere? I doubt it. > Walmart is for hillbillies > Target is for quality > > That is my .02. I’m done. Maybe in your area/case. My aunt started at wal_mart just over 7 years ago, is now a dept head, that is making over $16.00 an hour. I know several people that have worked in the auto center at wal_mart making way more than $6.25 after 90 days. And the guys in sporting goods at my local wal\*mart claim to be making $9.50. Not a one of them has been there a year yet. > [@OFFICIAL Buffalo Sabres Thread](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-buffalo-sabres-thread/25170/4551): > > Screw Wal Mart. Hate to go there. They just bought propertyhere in Moon to build 1. I hope I never have to go there. I have only been in them 6 times in my life. 6 times to many. They come in’ undercut everyone till they go under then raise there prices. I have been to a wal\*mart more than that in the past 2 days. I LOVE WAL\*MART. And yes I am redneck, and damn proud of it… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/mckrackin-ford/188065)._
