WAL-MART


Wal-Mart the multimillion dollar megastore full of everything an person could need, especially with its promise of low prices Wal-Mart is the most economically wealthy store during this recession in the U.S. Wal-Mart is said to be an all-round beneficial company for families, the economy and stockholders, but is Wal-Mart truly something that is healthy our cities or towns. Can Wal-Mart truly be good for America, on the outside Wal-Mart seems like a good choice mean what could be wrong they have everything inside Wal-Mart from fast-food to hardware. But the question is whether or not Wal-Mart is good for consumers, employees and the completion.
In the world of consumer hood people are always look for the lowest prices in whatever they buy. So because of the consumers wanting products to be cheaper companies try to lower their prices as much as they can without harming the amount of profit they are hope to make from consumers. Wal-Mart is knew for have very low price and because of how cheap the sell the produces in their store people continue to go and buy from Wal-Mart. But how does Wal-Mart keep up with all the needs of every consumer, how do continue to stay open with such low prices? One way is that not everything in Wal-Mart is cheap for one another reason is the bar codes of every produce sold in Wal-Mart. Now when you walk into the hair care section of Wal-Mart and the first the you see is and flat iron for like 20 dollars, but it not the brand you wanted so you in through every flat iron in that section until you find the one you’re looking for. Your at the counter now paying, if you notice the iron you have now cost maybe 25 dollar not so bad, but don’t forget tax and a little extra that Wal-Mart adds making that flat iron well over 30 dollar, low right. One thing Wal-Mart does that is good for a consumer is how they keep up with what people but the most. They scan over the bar codes of every item in the store that way they are able to see what sold they most that day and how much of it left do they have in stock. For a consumer Wal-Mart is amazing because it has everything you need in one, but whatever happened to the stores that you use to go to?
Do you ever notice the stores you would go to all the time are starting to shut down, what about when you’re driving to the new Wal-Mart that just opened a couple miles away, do you notice as you drive there the graveyard of close mommy and pappy stores? Because Wal-Mart basically has everything it destroys all the competition around it. There a reason why Wal-Mart is doing so well in this time of recession in America, they have no real companies to fight against them because all forms of competition have shut down. It’s hard to be a small business and fight against a huge store like Wal-Mart; some companies give up and trade with Wal-Mart. For example the company Rubbermaiden decided to sell their products to Wal-Mart, but when Rubbermaiden want to sell their produces for a higher price Wal-Mart would buy it. In the end Rubbermaiden shut down and their rubber machine was sold to factories that sell their produce to Wal-Mart, but for a cheaper price. This does happen to every company that decides to sell to Wal-Mart, in fact for some store it every beneficial and profitable. The sad part is that Wal-Mart is look to others cheaply, I mean think about the employee that work under Wal-Mart, how are the treated by Wal-Mart.
Most people assume that because Wal-Mart is doing so well that employee get paid very well, but in fact employees get paid less than minimum wage. The employees of Mal-Mart the people who help you search for items you can’t find, the people who greet you at the door, the people who carry the boxes and boxes of item the you the people ask for get paid less than your daughter that works at the records store. To make it even worst they have no benefit, thing like insurance they don’t have it. Why is it that Wal-Mart is not paying their employees fair, they make enough money to pay at least minimum wage. Now Wal-Mart does only have American employee but they have Wal-Marts in china, most people remember china because cheap labor. The Wal-Marts in China pay their employee less than the employees in American, the only different with this situation is that even though they get paid less the money they make can be the difference between stare and eating a weekly meal.
Is Wal-Mart good for American, well in my opinion I find Wal-Mart to be a good store to have, but they just too sneaky. Why do you have to tick people with low price consumer will come if you just sell the item fairy. Also Wal-Mart danger rules of competition if Wal-Mart has everything it not only kind of makes people lazy, it stops small business that help make a healthy economy. One really good thing about Wal-Mart is that they give jobs they people need during a recession like this.
