Thread Name: BS: A good side of Wal-Mart?
Subject: RE: BS: A good side of Wal-Mart?
I hate to say anything good about Wally World, Oct and Nov 2005 while working Katrina Relief for the Corps of Engineers in Hancock County MS.The Waveland MS WalMart was wasted by the storm surge. But the first to set up tents in their parking lot and doing business ASAP. I needed a few items and thought I should check it out and see first hand if WM was gouging customers. They were there obiously to serve the community and NOT self serving as one might expect. I gained a great deal of respect for the Wal Mart people. They even had Garth Brooks there for his Wal Mart debut. There seemed to be more goodwill than money motivation. I saw the crowd at the tent store and wondered what all the HooHaa was about and read the paper to find that Garth had performed there free.
I just wished they would become more passionate to their workers.
