I've heard through the grapevine that Wal-Mart is all about customer service. They bend over backwards for their customers. Although, their main concern is to catch an employee doing something against store policy. Especially one with a top heavy salary that has been around a few years. i.e taking a 16 minute break instead of a 15 minute break.
(aka)PuckerupFrog I actually see no reason to not be nice to people on this forum because we donot know each other so being crass or crude is not a good way to go. When I discuss something I donot want to go for the jugular but I want to see an intelligent discussion and the reason I said what I did about gofish up there was because of the pure ugliness of his comments on not only this thread but others not to make an enemy but to maybe allow him to see how others see him and any good business owner doesnot want bad things to come up about them. But I also have to say that there are a lot of very nice and helpful people on here that I would love to know personally and not just in messseges and you are one of them PuckerupFrog

That all adds up to thier old profit sharing that old man Sams wife talked him into doing. In this day and time it is more profitable to get rid of the people than to keep them until thier retirement date. So they go in search and lay in wait.
Gofish is like your grump old uncle. He just adds a little spice in a bland soup sometimes. Imagine, if you will, a family reunion with a lot of nice people saying pleasant things. Then imagine the old grumpy uncle saying crotchety things. We just pat him on the head and say, "yeah, uncle Gofish, ok." Then we ignore him till he gets too grouchy again.
GTO4, I can agree with your above thoughts, this gofish states a lot of things that would only be accepted to be said around only a few trusted friends. He, and a few others are bad to talk bad to someone, not realizing he is offending many other people also. Believe me that he and others has stacked up quite a few enemies real quick, and more than once or twice. He claims to be a local businessman, believe me, I will never do business with anyone with an attitude like his.
As for myself, I am a known local business owner /operator also. I try to not type anything on here, I would not say to their face. The truth is, we are all different people with our own opinions and standards. I will never expect someone to live by my standard, and I don't appreciate being condemned for having different standards than his.
I am now prepared to see how he di-sects and condemns you and I over these posts.

I wouldn't either. I AM a jerk on this forum. Fortunately, In real life I'm probably not quite as I appear and my business is thriving.

Really, folks, we are a bunch of anonymous people making anonymous comments on a forum where likely no on acts the same as they do in real life.

My primary reason for being here is for intellectual stimulation through heated debate. If you can't hold your own in a debate, you probably should be here.

In short, I would suggest that if you can't take the heat, get the heck out of the fire.

And I still maintain that the original subject of this thread is probably a thief. Wink
I come on here for information and conversation, and to have fellowship.
I am actually a whole lot MEANER in real life than I am on here.
Gofish, don't you ever perceive I want to have a heated debate with you because I post my opinion on here. We can agree to disagree, but when you resort to calling people stupid and other names, you have crossed a line with me.
I have a thriving business as well, with a lot of stress. I do not enter into the politics, I stay away from the highly debated topics, but I do have my own opinion and will post accordingly, and occasionally can give some worthy advise.

You may be meaner away from the keyboard, but you always have good insight into the things you post here. Always enjoy reading your posts.
Thank you OrginalBama and allysmom. I enjoy being on here with the both of you as well. You too jimbo, I can't help but to be myself also.
Anyone who wants to be a jerk just because they are under cover of a keyboard.......... is just that, but I will refrain from calling names.
You should consider the fact that someday it may be discovered just who you are? Then it may be wise to have the ass to back your words.

I didnot know that you made the rules here for how the people comment. Could you paste them in here so we donot go against them? On the serious side Iwant to say that I donot think it is up to you to be a jerk for anyones intellect. I also donot want you judging me for my honesty on the forum and I still hold thta when I find out where your buisness is I promise you will not get a dime from me. I can take any heat you want to throw but what I cannot understand is why you want to throw it and stir up problems. I think that those on here who know you better than I do also knows about business and can give me a hint as to where not to go. I think you are doing yourself more harm than good because a good business man promotes professionalism every where even on a anonymous forum.

Thank you.
And with me what you see is what you get, but i'm not seen very often. I blend into the background very easily.

I think it's really cool that so many of us on here have crossed paths or know people in common in the real world.....Small World Syndrome.

I should speak only for myself, I'm sure.

However, there was a research study conducted a couple of years ago that compared the perceived online persona of forum participants against their actual appearance and personality.

Participant's were asked to describe the people they were interacting with and rate certain personality traits such as education level, introvert/extrovert, bubbly, funny, ect.

I can't remember numbers but the jest of the study was that almost no one acted or looked anything like their "real" selves.

Whatever the case, I like your online persona, Vick. I almost hate it when I have to call you down for saying something silly. Wink

For those that can't take the heat, well, you know.
It's not just the employees or the imports that makes me not want to go to Walmart. I look at the customers and think it's like a casting call for "The Hills Have Eyes". WHERE do these people come from? You don't see them meandering all over the streets all the time. Do they just hide in the bushes and come out on the 3rd of every month to go to Walmart for their porkskins and Grapicos?

LOL, Porkskins and Grapico's??? What the heck is a Grapico anyway??? Big Grin
Grapico is a VERY VERY sweet, grape flavored soft drink. I was in Walmart (reluctantly) last week, there was not one but TWO different sets of Neanderthal families with little inbred looking kids about a year to maybe 7 years old, all of them. The mamas were both about 100 pounds overweight wearing tank tops and knit pants that were riding up between their knees where their thighs rubbed: the daddies were maybe 110 pound soaking wet, also in tank tops; the older kids in one family were fighting over an opened bag of pork rinds and drinking Grapico with streaks of purple down the chin onto their necks; the younger kids in BOTH families had what looked to be Grapico in their bottles.

Saw an article that Britney Spears ex-husband's complaint in his custody fight is that she gives the children soft drinks in their bottles. I'll guarantee you it's Grapico.

Sounds GROSS!!! But alas, it is people like that, along with their monthly supply of food stamps that keep Wal-Marts COO's to make 30 Million or more EACH per year.
Gee, Vick13, I thought nurses were supposed to be kind and compassionate....."inbred looking little children"? Guess your true colors are coming out.... hopefully you will never have any relatives of yours (esecially children) "look inbred".... as for the overweight mothers and their clothing... did you ever stop to think maybe the mothers have something medically wrong and their finances aren't as good as most?

I have never... and I mean NEVER... looked at people and had thoughts or made comments about them. I was raised in a home where I was taught not to make judgements about others, no matter what type of clothing they were wearing or how they appeared physically. I was made fun of at a young age because of my appearance (extremely crooked teeth and no money or insurance to cover dental treatment) and I have had comments made about my weight as an adult (yep, overweight due to diabetes), but luckily I am the type to overlook things like that.

You are not overweight because you are diabetic. You are diabetic because you are overweight. Get some good diabetic education and actually READ THE INFORMATION. Get a job with dental insurance and take care of the teeth one thing at a time if you have to. You can do all of the above pretty much free. UAB dental school does the orthodontics for free(basedon income). Medicaid covers diabetic information and counseling for free, also the medication.

You can make healthy choices for diets as easily and as cheaply as you can suck down sugary drinks and fat food.

You can't just sit on the sofa and feel sorry for yourself because you are fat and diabetic. It costs nothing to walk along a side walk or get off the sofa.

You can change if you have gumption enough to get up, do research, go to the health department if you have to. But sitting there feeling put upon by my comments is just another example of feeling "discriminated against" is just going to kill you early with no toes, feet, legs and heart problems. Diabetes is not killing you. You're noncompliance is killing you.
