I am so glad they #1!! They don't rip consumers off by being the lowest and also they do not hire thieves as cashiers like Target!!!



Wal-Mart remains at top of Fortune 500 list
World’s largest retailer edges Exxon Mobil for second straight year


updated 31 minutes ago
NEW YORK - Wal-Mart Stores Inc. shrugged off weak consumer spending to remain atop the 2008 Fortune 500 list, edging Exxon Mobil Corp. for the second straight year in the magazine’s annual ranking of the nation’s largest publicly traded companies.

Fortune compiled its list based on companies’ 2007 revenues. Wal-Mart raked in $378.8 billion in revenue last year, up 7.9 percent compared to 2006, and had $12.7 billion in profits, according to the list released Monday. The discount retailer has topped the list six times in the last seven years, having been unseated only by Exxon Mobil.

Yeah, it's great they don't pay their employees a living wage. Go Walmart!!!

this is going to get ugly

That's to bad

I would love to see you spend a long season as a factory garment worker in Saipan, cheesburger.

Did you know that there is actually a position at Wal-Mart called "Lead Cart Pusher"?

How much of a badass cart pusher do you have to be to get the Lead Cart Pusher title?

Here comes the ugly!

Hoo-fuckin-rah! You must be jokin' or trollin'. WalMart is the scourge of the business world, due to it's rapacious business practices, all to keep the prices low. We the sheeple continue to think with nothing but our wallets and foster the destruction that WalMart reaps across the land. Need proof?? Here...

Just check out this trailer!!! http://www.walmartmovie.com/

and if the facts aren't enough (and they are out there...) you can always look at it with a speck of humor...



Now, I could go on & on & on about this topic but I have to get back to work lest Wal Mart outprice me and run me out of the business I've been in for the past 20 years...

Along with every other company in the South and Target!! Rainbow, Roundys, cub and Subway all pay same and stuff but everyone all on Walmart!! Liberals!!!

NDRU said:

Just like Airlines, Banks, and auto factories. They all shrinking too!!

RodeoSchro said:

Piggly Wiggly in New Orleans actually have a position like that paying 5.85 an hour!!!

RenHoek said:

Well I do not work for Walmart. Actually i work in the natural gas and petroleum industry

cheeseburger said:

I don't shop Target either and the moment Subway employs slave labor like Walmart does, I'm not going there anymore either.

cheeseburger said:

I support the little guy. That's why I keep my money at Fred's Bank!

And I drive a Shmoyota

Stymie said:

well u late cause they are paying only 7 an hour!! but they love to say that man lost weight there whatever it was again!!

NDRU said:

really?

i don't believe you! what's your account number!

magnificentsynthesizer said:

0000-0002

NDRU said:

and that will soon be Wells fargo, US bank, or bank of america

RenHoek said:

Sheeple! Yes! How can it be that I'm from New Zealand and have never heard this term before??

NDRU said:

are you sure? that's not workin' for me.

cheeseburger said:

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that's that good or bad?

NDRU said:

no worries, you can always keep you money at MagSynth's Bank.

NDRU said:

It could be a good thing or a bad thing. i know my credit union was with Northwest Airlines and now rotten Delta acquired them shrinking the airlines for no competition, so now I am homeless for bank accounts. I have to find a bank and have to go to one of those mammoths!!

you'd probably be less interested if you knew my balance

cheeseburger said:

Um, I don't think that's slave labor.

cheeseburger said:

Stymie said:
