„It's been kind of a cheap expensive week for me -- yesterday I finally broke down and bought a replacement DVD player -- and since my VCR died, I decided to buy a combo on sale at CC -- sheesh, I might as well wire them my money because they take most of it“

„I totally don't know what to make of this story about a group of folks in a northwest Houston subdivision who are trying to halt the construction of a 24-hour Wal-Mart in their vicinity. On the one hand, looking at the enclosed map of the area, it's unclear why Wal-Mart thinks they need another store there. And you don't really have to try hard to get me to dislike the idea of Yet Another Megastore paving over a swath of green space.“http://www.offthekuff.com/mt/archives/ 000615.html - Cached

„About half of Wal-Mart's U.S. workers are covered under the company medical plan, considered a low participation rate for large companies. But Fogleman said the total of employees with health insurance is 90 percent, because many get coverage through a spouse, a parent or a government program such as Medicare. The Georgia employees with PeachCare children, he said, could be part time or even temporary help working during the holidays.“http://www.milescity.com/walmart/ajc/ 20040227.htm - Cached
„A case in point was the little-noticed news item last month that retailing giant Wal-Mart pulled Barbie's pregnant pal Midge from the shelves in response to customer complaints. Midge, it appears, was just too much for some shoppers who wanted a little less reality from their Wal-Mart experience.“http://WWW.thesentimentalist.com/archives/ 000049.html - Cached

„FT.com Home UK : Wal-Mart dampened hopes for strong holiday sales as it announced expectations that US December same-store sales growth would be at the low end of a 3-5 per cent growth forecast. In a weekly sales summary, the world's largest retailer said more consumers were delaying holiday shopping and buying gift cards, which are not recorded as revenue when purchased. Richard Hastings, analyst at Bernard Sands, said: "Wal-Mart shoppers are a huge aggregation of American society.“http://www.j-bradford-delong.net/movable_type/2003_archives/ 002895.html - Cached

„So after chasing around here and there, I finally broke down and looked up UMDNJ (University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey) online. I found a couple of general surgeons on the faculty at UMDNJ, called one, and actually spoke to him in person! I think he was as shocked as me; his secretary was out and the switchboard had given me his direct number.“http://bias.blogfodder.net/archives/ 2003_05.html#007875 - Cached

„Wal-Mart cultivated an aw-shucks, we're-just-folks-from-Arkansas image of neighborly small-town shopkeepers trying to sell stuff cheaply to you and yours. Behind its soft homespun ads, however, is what one union leader calls "this devouring beast" of a corporation that ruthlessly stomps on workers, neighborhoods, competitors, and suppliers. Despite its claim that it slashes profits to the bone in order to deliver "Always Low Prices," Wal-Mart banks about $7 billion a year in profits, ranking it among the most profitable entities on the planet.“http://dactyl.affordablehost.com/~pfafflin/momblog/archives/ 000029.html - Cached

„....INS agents raided Wal-Mart stores across the country on Oct. 23 in a sweep that resulted in the arrest of hundreds of janitors on immigration charges.

„For years, Wal-Mart saturated the airwaves with a "We Buy American" advertising campaign, but it was nothing more than a red-white-and-blue sham. All along, the vast majority of the products it sold were from cheap-labor hell-holes, especially China. In 1998, after several exposes of this sham, the company finally dropped its "patriotism" posture and by 2001 had even moved its worldwide purchasing headquarters to China.“http://www.ecolivingcenter.com/board/main/messages/ 1463.html - Cached
„Well, it’s time to finally announce the winners of The Best of the Burg– or at least some of them. As of the November deadline, we collected hundreds of voted ballots from our readers (and a lot of non-readers) but during the tally process we’ve been interrupted and lost count dozens of times. (We’re worse than the Florida election folks; we admit it.) Then war broke out and the ballots got buried under our duct tape and plastic sheeting.We have now uncovered them (we don’t know why they were found by looters in a Baghdad museum) and, despite technical difficulties with our automated vote-counting equipment, are ready to announce the winners in many major categories.“http://www.thezephyr.com/botb2003.htm - Cached
„(However, in an article entitled "Generals in Iraq Consider Options for More Troops," only one paragraph is devoted to the fact that generals are considering options for more troops, and does not detail what those options are. Sorry, folks.)“http://www.changeforamerica.com/blog/archives/ 000195.html - Cached

„ With the hiring a new office manager who actually competes in a couple contests a year, I have a rejuvenated interested in competitive bbq. So much so, that I have recently completed the KCBS certified judging course, signed up to judge a couple of upcoming events, and am researching the purchase of a large, pricey smoker to eventually try my hand at competition.“http://www.rbjb.com/rbjb/comments/ray9.htm - Cached

„The picture quality is terrible for digital...all kinds of wavy lines and nonavailability of channels we pay for..the one that really ticks hubby off is getting "One Moment please, the channel should be available shortly" when he's wanting to get his golf fix...in fact I couldn't really remember what the channel says when it's out, so I just now switched to the Golf Channel and lo & behold the infamous "One Moment please, the channel should be available shortly" is broadcasting live and well..sheesh!“http://forums.somd.com/archive/topic/ 6733-1.html - Cached
