Walmart is a bully...

I read a post hear today about choosing to shop locally.  We have done that more in the latter months.

Fact #1 Walmart is a bully to their suppliers - my husband's aunt worked for Smucker's jelly - all american company and her area was to work with customers such as Walmart.  They were utter bullies in the way they treat their suppliers.  They demand the price they want - even if it cuts profit margins low or to none - and threaten to remove their large business elsewhere if not provided with the prices they want.  So even when you get lower prices at Walmart it's at the cost of our own american jobs and salaries - in more ways than one.....

I am amazed when I hear things like this. I was the one posting about shopping locally and this only adds fuel to the fire I think. I can't imagine American companies being scrutinized and bullied for the sake of the almighty dollar. It seems to be no better than the bully taking the lunch money from the little kids at school. Thank you for sharing this.
