Not technically IN a Walmart, but definitely Walmart adjacent.
Had lunch with a few regional directors or whatever they call themselves. Topic of wages and strikes came up, they said Walmart already has contingencies in place for when people “get too uppity.”
Walmart feels that they’re in a strength position due to being the last leg in the supply chain, sitting between food storage/distribution and the general population. When the conditions are right, they will stop delivering from the distribution centers, and will starve out strikers for a month or two, and then “they’ll work for whatever we pay.”
The Walmart command center in Arkansas keeps track of populations and food deserts around the US, they’ve got estimates for how many cities and citizens Walmart has a stranglehold on for food delivery and can be decimated by corporate suddenly closing the stores. That was about 6 years ago tho.
Holy shit. That is some actual evil villain type shit.
Find out where the food deserts are, build a Walmart, and if the people rebel, just stop selling. That is disgusting.
If you have any tangible evidence of this - emails, recording, transcripts, etc, please go to the media ASAP.
One time, I was buying my American Cheeselike Product to go with my American ¾ pounder Burgers, and they had a vegetable section
It still haunts me to this day
Americacentrism strikes again. I don’t know, they don’t exist outside of USA and Canada
That’s just bullshit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walmart#/media/File:WalMart_international_locations.svg In the blue countries they’re active in red ones formerly active. They have even been active in Germany for a while.
Statistically speaking, he’s not far off. US, Canada and Mexico have about 9k stores. The entire rest of the world have about 2k stores. So it’s not unreasonable that most people have never seen a Walmart in their life.
The more you know 🌈💫
Yes, they are a lot less ubiquitous outside North America. The person you’re referring to said they don’t exist outside CA and USA, which is incorrect. They’re not as common, but they do exist.
Cool, technically correct, the worst kind of correct
