Is Wal Mart Good For America ... Continued

Today we will be finishing up the documentary about WalMart and whether or not it is good for America.  Last Friday, with little or no background you discussed some of the things you liked and disliked about Wal-Mart and whether you thought they were good or bad for America.  Having watched the first half of the documentary, what would you say are Wal-Mart's best and worst practices?  In other words, what are some things that they do that are good and what are some decisions they make that are bad?  Feel free to address the following:
  • their control over the market/manufacturing
  • prices matter most to WalMart
  • WalMart driving down the price of goods
  • WalMart rejecting Rubbermaids price increase
  • High Road vs. Low Road of Competitiveness
  • High Margin Items
  • Opening Price Point Practices
  • Etc.

The best things that Walmart does is have good deals on some certain things. It's sometimes way cheaper then Costco. They know how to run there products and marking problem 

The bad things are that the products look cheap and look as if they aren't going to last. They don't give there customers rights don't give them benefits which I feel isn't fair  for someone if they have worked there for a long time. It focus other companies to lower there product other business get out of business and etc
