(OP) User ID: 75325376 United States 06/14/2020 10:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | funny thing about all of this is sam walton started walmart because he was fed up with this sort of shit from kmart. told them he was going to put them out of business and eventually did just that. only for decades later his company to become what he sought to destroy :/ sad... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3072475 When Mr Sam passed away it was taken over by his kids. Alice is a known alcoholic and doesn’t really have much to do with it all other then the money. I met Mr Sam a long time ago when he had his first store in Rogers. An extremely nice and down to earth man. I know people who worked in that first store and still have family that work at corporate and the stores. I used to work in the warehouses. I know how the Walmart world works and it’s about the almighty dollar now. I will be checking with family members tomorrow at corporate to see what they say. The person who sent me the original post has personal knowledge of the poster. I quit Walmart after moving to Louisiana transferring to a Walmart that had a black manager who treated me and other non blacks like crap. When I went back to that store last year I noticed it had very few non black employees so I guess she did what she wanted. This bothers me because I don’t care what race you are but I do care how you treat others. Grandma9 |

[link to one.walmart.com (secure)] Scroll down to until you see a Radio play button in the middle of the page. It only worked for me using the Chrome browser and not my version of IE. It might be regional as it is playing country music for me here in Missouri. I will listen to it for a while to see if I hear the message but it might not play this late at night. |

We need to bombarde corporate: Quoting: Grandma9 My husband is a good man. My husband is not perfect. My husband makes mistakes. My husband is the type of person that would help anyone at any time. My husband is a police officer. Today I watched the light in my husband and my son's eyes leave. Today I had to defend one of the bravest men I have ever met. Let's back up a bit. Today is Sunday, June 14th, 2020. Our family went to church as we do every Sunday. After church, we ran to Walmart in Grove Oklahoma. This is not unusual for our family, in fact, this is almost always a weekly trip. Someone has forgotten something and we zip over to Walmart and pick up what we need. Today changed that for our family. We will never return to Grove Walmart or any other Walmart. While in the store a message repeatedly played over the loudspeaker. This message stated that Walmart understands white privilege exist and supports Black lives matter. It went on to say how they support the black community and acknowledge the injustices committed by the law enforcement agencies. I watched my nine-year-old son whip his head around and the light goes out in my husband's eyes. We decided to leave the store. My husband was just going to leave and not say anything to anyone. But I had to show my son that his father was a good man and that sometimes we have to stand up for what is right. I asked our check out person if she would please get a manager for us. She said why maybe I can help. I said no please just call a manager. She refused. She looked at my husband and asked him to tell her why I wanted a manager. My husband replied that the message on the speaker is directly against his line of work and that it was not friendly towards the police department. She responded with I am no longer comfortable speaking with you. He said that is fine but you asked what was wrong so I told you. She said I did ask but I no longer want to know. I said that it is fine could you please call the manager my husband and I would like to speak with the manager. He is a police officer and would like to address this issue. At this time she said that she would not serve us at all because he was a police officer and she just walked away. She left us with half of our order rang up. I looked at the lady behind me with tears in my eyes and she told my husband thank you for your service. Some other checkers came and finished the purchase. A few minutes later two male employees came up. The manager asked what happened. When we told him he said that she had the right to not serve anyone. My husband agreed with that. My husband told the manager that he didn't expect Walmart to back Blue lives but he did think of the very least for impartiality. The manager proceeded to tell us that corporate feel like there are more black people than law enforcement and that money is more important to the corporation than law enforcement and their families. He said this was Walmart's corporate policy. I asked the man so Walmart is not going to support law enforcement officers at all? His response was no not as long as they were making more money from the people in this movement. So this tells me that they only care about money. The manager said that people at corporate make the decisions and they have to play the message. Another officer came up and showed his badge asked about the broadcast and we told him about how we were treated and that Walmart corporation feels that law enforcement can be refused service just for being police officers his face registered utter shock. My son was devastated. We were treated like criminals. My husband was devastated. This is what These black lives matter and defund the police is causing. This is not okay. I am a proud LEO wife, I am proud of my husband. My husband may save that lady someday but still, she will hate him. Please Share AI bots getting better, but still not human. |

Quoting: 1sSol1d1ntel I said I wasn't sure what I heard and just wanted to make sure... But I specifically asked if I heard the words white privilege and injustices committed by law enforcement... She confirmed - 100% that's "what I heard"... also stated that the CEO is a major BLM supporter! So there's that... Here's the number: 1-800-925-6278 In case anyone else wants to confirm. Yes, and I hope people realize that this is not a reflection of all of the employees that work at the Walmarts. Many employees are supportive of the police and are upset that this message is being played at their workplace. |

There are many quality men/women in Law Enforcement. There are some evil people in every profession. All that we are witnessing today is planned & orchestrated... Law Enforcement is demonized, while Chaos In Seattle is ALLOWED (Chaz). Right is wrong & wrong is right... Biblical End Times. It is very challenging to observe & witness. People will be controlled by their injections.., Nanotechnology, AI & Biometrics with 5G Danger Towers. It seems they are phasing out our “Normal” Law Enforcement deliberately. Very intuitive.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77378876 [link to corporate.walmart.com (secure)] Walmart has openly & publicly taken a political stance, claiming that Americas "failure to address the root causes" of its racist past are the reason there is a Global Corporate Fascist sponsored Communist revolution occurring. Of course they feel that way, they are Corporate Fascists who peddle garbage largely manufactured in Chinese and other 3rd world slave labor camps. BOYCOTT WALMART NOW!!!

I am a proud LEO wife, I am proud of my husband. My husband may save that lady someday but still, she will hate him. Please Share I dont like cops but I don't like nogs even more. There is a BIG difference between a pig and a cop. Pigs brought much pain into my life as a child. Cops saved my life in 1996. But to each their own. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79029612 United States 06/14/2020 11:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If this is happening all over the country, I fail to see how Walmart can survive! They rely on the police presence to prevent them being robbed blind every single day. It's rare that I ever see a Walmart without at least one cop car there. In fact, they even have parking spaces for law enforcement. In the dumpy parts of town, I can see the thug life types just casually walking out with stuff. Their own loss prevention folks are not supposed to take down thieves. Businesses are supposed to be neutral on politics if they intend to stay in business. Some time this week, I'll be making a supply run and I'll check it out in person. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 76667854 United States 06/14/2020 11:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is not my words but those of a woman and her family that went here today and how they were treated. We need to bombarde corporate: Quoting: Grandma9 My husband is a good man. My husband is not perfect. My husband makes mistakes. My husband is the type of person that would help anyone at any time. My husband is a police officer. Today I watched the light in my husband and my son's eyes leave. Today I had to defend one of the bravest men I have ever met. Let's back up a bit. Today is Sunday, June 14th, 2020. Our family went to church as we do every Sunday. After church, we ran to Walmart in Grove Oklahoma. This is not unusual for our family, in fact, this is almost always a weekly trip. Someone has forgotten something and we zip over to Walmart and pick up what we need. Today changed that for our family. We will never return to Grove Walmart or any other Walmart. While in the store a message repeatedly played over the loudspeaker. This message stated that Walmart understands white privilege exist and supports Black lives matter. It went on to say how they support the black community and acknowledge the injustices committed by the law enforcement agencies. I watched my nine-year-old son whip his head around and the light goes out in my husband's eyes. We decided to leave the store. My husband was just going to leave and not say anything to anyone. But I had to show my son that his father was a good man and that sometimes we have to stand up for what is right. I asked our check out person if she would please get a manager for us. She said why maybe I can help. I said no please just call a manager. She refused. She looked at my husband and asked him to tell her why I wanted a manager. My husband replied that the message on the speaker is directly against his line of work and that it was not friendly towards the police department. She responded with I am no longer comfortable speaking with you. He said that is fine but you asked what was wrong so I told you. She said I did ask but I no longer want to know. I said that it is fine could you please call the manager my husband and I would like to speak with the manager. He is a police officer and would like to address this issue. At this time she said that she would not serve us at all because he was a police officer and she just walked away. She left us with half of our order rang up. I looked at the lady behind me with tears in my eyes and she told my husband thank you for your service. Some other checkers came and finished the purchase. A few minutes later two male employees came up. The manager asked what happened. When we told him he said that she had the right to not serve anyone. My husband agreed with that. My husband told the manager that he didn't expect Walmart to back Blue lives but he did think of the very least for impartiality. The manager proceeded to tell us that corporate feel like there are more black people than law enforcement and that money is more important to the corporation than law enforcement and their families. He said this was Walmart's corporate policy. I asked the man so Walmart is not going to support law enforcement officers at all? His response was no not as long as they were making more money from the people in this movement. So this tells me that they only care about money. The manager said that people at corporate make the decisions and they have to play the message. Another officer came up and showed his badge asked about the broadcast and we told him about how we were treated and that Walmart corporation feels that law enforcement can be refused service just for being police officers his face registered utter shock. My son was devastated. We were treated like criminals. My husband was devastated. This is what These black lives matter and defund the police is causing. This is not okay. I am a proud LEO wife, I am proud of my husband. My husband may save that lady someday but still, she will hate him. Please Share You’re expecting way too much from people who have no relation to the corporate-produced loudspeaker message you heard. It’s almost like Clark Griswold’s family harassing John Candy’s security guard character at Wallyworld but actually expecting the CEO to “show up” and listen to your complaint. The gripe is legit, but the barking is up the wrong tree! Also, there are a multitude of reasons to avoid shopping at Walmart besides their idiotic message you heard. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77996959 United States 06/15/2020 12:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You can listen to Walmart Radio at this page. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77996959 [link to one.walmart.com (secure)] Scroll down to until you see a Radio play button in the middle of the page. It only worked for me using the Chrome browser and not my version of IE. It might be regional as it is playing country music for me here in Missouri. I will listen to it for a while to see if I hear the message but it might not play this late at night. Well I’ve been listening to Walmart Radio for just over an hour now and have not heard and public service announcements. Maybe it's only something they do during the day at peak customer hours. |

Quoting: 1sSol1d1ntel I said I wasn't sure what I heard and just wanted to make sure... But I specifically asked if I heard the words white privilege and injustices committed by law enforcement... She confirmed - 100% that's "what I heard"... also stated that the CEO is a major BLM supporter! So there's that... Here's the number: 1-800-925-6278 In case anyone else wants to confirm. Good on you and some GREEN! Sometimes I feel like a nut. Sometimes I don't. ***Certified Thread Killah*** |
