The thing is, WalMart is run like a Religion, which I suppose it is. It is like being in AmWay, I suppose. People need something to put their faith in, and it is easy to put it into those organizations, for they have saved a lot of folks, just not from sin. Gee, I NEVER meant to put a religious undertone in this thread!!!!!<br /><br />But I have witnessed teh pre-shift meetings, and yes they do sing, testify, exercise, and generally try to get their people into a certain mindset...and it works, at least for teh first 20 seconds after they leave the meetingOriginally posted by Elmer Fudge:<br /> Posted by SBN:"If anyone has ever seen that thing that the Discovery Chanel done on Wal-Mart, you would have a better sense of what they are about, now.<br />Not when John Walton started it, but now.<br /><br />They have this meetings and it's almost like a cult or something.<br /><br />Everyone standing up and singing and stuff, really weird. IMO"<br />----------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><br />I saw that documentary,and it was indeed shameful and a downright disgrace,to think that an American company would act in such an unamerican way and be allowed to get away with it<br /><br />
Aha, KEN, there you have it!!!! Good ol' rural country folk are more in tune with their neighbors than the city folk!!!!! Port Orchard is like that, with only about 10000 people here, but when I moved here in 1985, there were less than 5000 people...them blasted city folk keep moving in here and making us take up their citified ways...it is enuff to make your pumpkin blow!!! To make your hay stack!!!!!
Hmmmm! That's sounds strangely like what the Japanese do in their plants.<br /><br />We all know that only American companies are evil. Foreign ones are good and wonderful. Well, at least that's what we've had shoved down our throat for the last 20 years.
YEP!!! Identical...we gonna get HD soon, the Wally is gonna be a Sooper Wally, we have TWO (count 'em, TWO) Albertson's grocers within 5 miles of one another...plus a Fred Meyer, A QFC, A Saars, and some Mom and Pop grocers (for now), an outta business KMart (thank you Wally), the largest High School in the State, yep a rush hour or two, with TWO roads leading to the freeway, a Ferry depot and a new Roller Skate rink opening soon, but there ain't no Rail Road in town anywhere!!!!!!!
