Can anyone employed at Walmart, justify the greed in eliminating the crafts and fabrics sections?

Question

My large middle class family goes to Walmart ( superstore) at least 2-3 times a week. Every single time we visit I purchase several items in the crafts department. I will take our 1400.00 monthly food purchase to another store now. While my husband shops at a home improvemnt store, I will spend hours in a craft store. I will greatly miss going to Walmart while road traveling too. It was like a little piece of home with me, no matter what state I was passing through.

Answer 1

Hmm, let's see.  Businesses are trying to make a profit.  They create jobs and offer products and services.  So if something isn't profitable, you eliminate or change it.

Makes sense to me.

Would you rather they keep their store unprofitable and lay people off and close stores when they fail?

Answer 2

I can sympathize with you and know where you are ranting from!!

They destroyed all the crafts shops and fabric shops in the vicinity by under pricing them, then deleted their sections so we have to buy ready made stuff.

They are also a very "family oriented" business!!! They make mothers work for minimum wage at hours when the children are not in school, and dock them severly if one of the children gets sick and must be taken to the doctor or stayed home with. So totally "family" friendly in the work environment!!!

I avoid WalMart for most things even if I have to pay more some where else for the same item.

Answer 3

Are you saying your Walmart eliminated their crafts section? I dont think I've ever been in a Walmart that didnt have one. That's strange.

Answer 4

Walmart sucks and you might want to look into all the harm it is doing the environment and the economy to justify your decision never to shop there.
