My beef with Walmart* is primarily how penny pinching they are with employees (except corporate, of course.)
No one gets 40 hours, never are they staffed enough. Yes, it would cost them more to have 'full time' employees, but it would pay off for them in the long run by having happier, healthier employees.
And if you are going to have 20 check out lines, why are only 5 open at a time? Why the expense of putting those lines in if you never intend to have 20 employees on the clock checking at one time?
Too much cheap shite made in China, also. They sometimes talk a good game by saying they are going to 'buy American', but I sure have trouble finding any of it on the shelves.

This I will never understand. I got stuck having to run into Walmart a few days before Christmas a couple of years ago. Had to be one of their busier days of the year and I counted 7 registers not open, while every checkout line was at least 5 or 6 customers deep. Made no sense.

I think most of this talk is buying food and household cleaners and stuff like that. Though I did read once that a lot of their electronics are specifically made for Walmart in US factories, and the Sony's, LG, and Vizios just slap their name on it.
