swingset Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) Then we agree to disagree.No, we don't. You're wrong.There have been fights over yard sales. Is the homeowner partially responsible for selling a Nintendo for $5? No. Of course not.There's nothing negligent about having a sale, or having it start when the business opens or at any time. Businesses have been doing this for a hundred years.100% of the blame and responsibility is on the tards who "frenzy". You don't create frenzy by holding a sale. I know, cause I've been to those sales and there wasn't any frenzy. When you try to split the blame, you're making excuses for the tards...you are suggesting that the store has done something that compelled them to "frenzy", and partially making victims out of the ONLY people responsible.Liberal mentality, 101.You. Are. Wrong. Edited November 25, 2012 by swingset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Why do you video everything when riding and driving again? Also....do you participate in Black Friday shopping, if you don't then why would you give a shit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokey Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Walmart will of course be getting the most bad press, the rest like Swingset mentioned are "hardly" mentioned. People suck everywhere, although Wallyworld does attract some real winners on occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Bangladesh Factory Fire Kills At Least 112 in Wal-Mart Sweatshop I would not call it a "Walmart" sweatshop. It's a garment factory whose customers include Walmart, Ikea, Carrefour, Browning, Santasstefano etc and exports to the US and many European countries. The factory was given a poor fire safety rating but they didn't do enough to address the risks.How come nobody called it an Ikea sweatshop? (This info from the Google cached copy of their website - their real website is offline do to exceeding bandwidth. http://tuba-group.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Wasn't this an unauthorized subcontractor, though? I'd heard that Walmart contracted with one company, and that company subcontracted the bad factory without Walmart's knowledge or approval...

Disclaimer Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 So what's stopping Walmart from putting some simple verbiage in their supplier agreement that either:A) All subcontractors must be approved by Walmart Supplier Quality staffB) If additional temporary capacity is required, here is a list of approved Walmart subcontractorsorC) If work is to be subcontracted, suppliers must ensure that subcontractors must meet or exceed all safety, codes, and legal requirements as original supplier that was audited.Yea, I know from experience that is hard to enforce, but it would at least give Walmart some goodwill in the public perception department if they're going to continue to claim plausible deniability.

Disclaimer Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I can't find anything in that article that says whether the blaze was at a legit supplier, or an unauthorized subcontractor.Only that after the fire, Walmart did "clean-up":After the Nov. 24 fire, both Wal-Mart and Sears (SHLD) said they had fired unauthorized suppliers. weird how it's so important after-the-fact. How do you know its not already in there?If it is, then Walmart PR is doing a crappy job of communicating it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
