It's not okay. There's a big wide world out there that depends on Walmart and stores like Dollar General.

Walmart customers are scum. Filth. They elected Trump. They are trash. And yes, they deserve whatever bad things happen to them. Every tornado that hits their trailer park, every gram of meth they snort, every OD, every job lost. Rural America can eff off and die.

Respectfully, this just shows that you don’t know what you don’t know. There are many, many democrats who shop at Walmart. There are many people of color who shop at Walmart. There are gay people and trans people who shop at Walmart. There are nurses and food bank staffers and social workers and teachers who shop at Walmart. The primary thing that unites people who shop at Walmart is living on a budget in an America that is increasingly unaffordable for regular people.

I hate this country and the people in it so much I think my head is going explode one day.

I sometimes shop at Walmart and I am a very nice person. Prices on some items that I use are $2/$3 cheaper at Walmart than at local grocery stores.

Well, as long as you save $2 anything goes!

DP. Do you not understand that people are struggling to pay their basic bills? You mock someone trying to save $2, but an awful lot of people literally can’t afford their groceries if they don’t save $2 here, and 40 cents there, and $1 there.

That whole process of eggs thing has become a joke, but it’s not merely a joke. Things are really, really hard for a lot of people.

You want to criticize Walmart’s anti-union, anti-competitive practices? Have at it. But to dismiss anyone who is trying to save money in 2026 —- when more than half of American families are struggling to afford groceries, 4 out of 5 food assistance programs are stretched beyond capacity — is wild. You really sound clueless.

Sure, I’m clueless.

1. The DCUM sweetie who posted that absolutely does not NEED to save $2 on groceries.

2. If you can’t afford eggs or ground beef, you buy something else. You’re not entitled to eggs and ground beef. Try rice and beans you spoiled child.

3. These fools VOTE FOR THE PARTY who kills regulations that drive out competition and INCREASE prices. Not to mention slash benefits to the bone.

4. The majority of these people are now helpless victims because that’s what they CHOSE. White knighting for these morons doesn’t make you virtuous, it makes you disingenuous.

I have no idea who the DCUM sweetie was, but they are pointing out that Walmart had lower prices, and whether or not it matters to them personally, those cumulative $2 savings do matter to many.

Do you really think that the affordability crisis and the food bank shortages are manufactured, simply a matter of “eat better, spoiled children”?

Do you really think only republicans shop at Walmart?

OP, you are delusional.
Do you think it was some kind of utopia before Walmart, where small town independent store groceries were affordable and cashiers made enough money to support a family of 4?
That world never existed.
The fact that many Walmart employees use welfare benefits speaks more to the growing availability of welfare benefits, and perhaps people having kids they can’t afford, than it does to Walmart’s wages. The fact is that not every job’s productivity is worth $40 an hour. Not Walmart’s fault.

It is a vicious cycle ostensibly created BY the Walmarts of the country.

PP. Yes.

I am simply saying we must differentiate between the corporation and the human beings who rely on the corporation.

You can’t untangle the two. Stop shopping there if you care about American workers.

That much is crystal clear.

Everybody loves to say we need to “pay living wages” but what does that MEAN?

How is the amount of “living wage” determined?
There are teenage employees still living with parents, or single people living with roommates. They don’t need as much to live on as a single mom with three kids who needs an apartment or house. Does that mean the minimum wage should be set according to what the highest need is? Walmart should pay everyone as if they are feeding a family of four?

What if someone just isn’t ever going to be highly efficient or productive? Would you be happier if those individuals are unemployed and receive welfare? Because that is what happens when wage floors are set.

The POINT, you moron, is that Americans make their choices without a single f—king thought for the future, or for anyone else. Americans CHOOSE to buy the cheapest crap possible, or demand that expensive stuff be cheaper because they simply WANT IT and can’t possibly fathom the idea of just going without. And that’s why we are ALL where we are today.

America is a nation of selfish, spoiled children. I hope that clears it up for you

Many also choose to have kids they can't afford, to limit their educational efforts and achievements, to fail to take steps to be competitive for remunerative employment, marry badly, and to spend more than they take in. None of which is WM's fault. WM offers employment which people are free to take or not. If an entry-level hourly wage job there is all someone is qualified for, then that's what they will be offered. They're free to go elsewhere if they think their market value is higher. If their market value is higher, WM will compensate them accordingly - their store managers are well paid, with total compensation over $400K/yr possible when including bonuses, stock grants, and other benefits. Their corporate executives are compensated like other S&P 500 Top 50 index employers compensate their executives.

What do you mean when you say productive?

And are you aware that employed Walmart workers already receive welfare?

There’s a shift happening, and Dems need to change their ideas and their language on NCW (non college whites). Dems can welcome these people, or continue to malign them, but only one of those options makes them more likely to vote with you.

The problem isn’t poor people. The problem is that Trump and MAGA persuaded them that Ivy League coastal avocado toast eating libs were at fault. And that the way to improve lives in poor rural areas would magically occur if those libs were taken down a notch.

In fact if Harris had been elected, sleepy joe’s policies would be starting to bear fruit in those poor rural areas. Corporations like walmart would be scrutinized for anti competitive behaviors and subject to higher minimum wages. And of course Medicaid would not have been slashed to the detriment of those poor rural Americans.

So sorry. You can’t say the Democrats don’t understand. Follow the money and then you’ll have your answer why the Democratic Party is constantly vilified.

You say that like all poor people are Trumpers. We’re not, but I can assure you’re we are all tired of the way you talk about us. Your attitude is the problem.

The fact that you seem to think the choices are minimum wage (with added welfare paid for by the rest of us while walmart is valued at a trillion dollars - the subject of this post) or $400k per year shows what an illogical, corporate bootlicker you are. Seriously, you couldn’t think your way out of a paper bag.
