Blog #2 HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT?

Posted posted by Mike Rogers @ 9:28 AM

I would like to start out my blog with a quick question. On A scale of 1-10 how bad do you hate Wal-Mart? Write down your answer in front of you and see where you fall on the scale. (1-3) You are a social responsible person, with a soft heart for the Wal-Mart associates that are underpaid and unappreciated. You understand that Wal-Mart is in the business to make money, but don't appreciate the way they go about it. (4-7) You have very little in your life that worries you. You don't have children, a mortgage, a sick parent etc, therefor leaving you plenty of time, and energy to hate Wal-Mart. Or you were recently fired from Wal-mart. (8-10) Your family farm was recently bulldozed by the construction crew that is building a new Wal-Mart super center, leaving your family and your prize cow Bessy with no place to live. Or you were abducted by aliens and forced to shop at Wal-Mart, and pay Albertsons' prices.
The point that I am trying to make is that, there are a lot more important things to worry about. I have enough things on my mind when I am lying in bed at night, with out worrying about the checker that rang me out at the store earlier today, and if she was getting payed enough. Does this mentality make me insensitive, or not socially responsible? I am a firm believer in the saying "you get what you deserve." If you are an associate of Wal-Mart and you don't like your current situation, change it. As for Wal-Mart itself if they treat their employees like garbage, it will eventually come back to bite them. One of the best business strategies is to hire and retain the best employees possible. If Wal-Mart has mean, sad, disgruntled, employees many consumers would rather start paying higher prices for a more positive shopping experience. In my opinion Wal-Mart needs to make drastic changes in the way they operate. If a few changes were made to give them the appearance that they were trying to be more socially responsible their business would increase substantially. The recent announcement that they are going green is a good start, but there is still a lot of work to be done.
Until this transformation is complete I will continue to shop at Wal-Mart. You might call me a bad person and say I don't care, but with the amount of money I save from shopping at Wal-Mart compared to somewhere else, it is worth it. Let me put the savings in perspective I usually save about $60 every time my family goes shopping, that is the equivalent of three cases of Bud Light. Saving Money makes me happy, it is like Wal-Mart gives me free beer to shop there. Thank you Wal-Mart.
