Hows your job at Walmart looking now after you read this guy's day.

Davie,

You just recently posted you were not going to discuss/post about walmart anymore.

So Tom; I guess its ok for both of you to be critical about or make fun about walmart employees and customers and current opinions; but its not ok for some other posters here to post these things?


I don't believe we're talking walmart. I think we're just discussing some work experiences and some events that happen to have taken place at walmart. No direct conversation about walmart.

Why is this an issue for you?


Ohhhhhhh! We get it davie! We can all talk about experiences and events that happen at weirdmart; but no direct conversation ABOUT weirdmart? Well; let's see now...that means we can post all day long about negative experiences and events that negatively impact lives and families routinely AT weirdmart, without offending Tom or yourself; as long as there are no direct conversations ABOUT weirdmart?

I have forever posted about "events" that have taken place at weirdmart, davie, even under your new definitions, with no direct discussion of weirdmart. Its just that those are the very posts you took issue with me over. Can't have it both ways davie! In fact, you even used the company name in your replies here. BTW...its not an issue for me...however, you are the one that posted you would not be posting in walmart posts.

OOPS...then you post an entirely new post about walmart on Nov 21 at 08:23 am. (CEO stepping down.)

Which of your posts was the lie, davie?

Give it a rest cracker.  None of these folks welcomed your comments and even went so far as to explain to you in a kind and gentle way they were not talking about Wal-Mart.  Yet like the bull in the proverbial china shop you come storming in to express YOUR opinion and how much it should matter to everyone.  You give your race a bad name regardless of what your race may be bro.  You just want to have an opinion on everything and you truly believe your opinions are the only ones that matter.  Hello.  I'm here to tell you they don't.  Rave and rant all you want.  You're like a child.  A spoiled brat whose parents never gave him/her enough attention.  So you come here seeking the attention you were deprived.  What a sad, sad, individual you must truly be.  I don't pity you, I have no empathy for you.  I revile everything you stand for.  You're not a decent person whatsoever.  You embrace not a word or opinion of anyone here. 

In less than 60 days we will have a new CHANGE in leadership.  It would be nice if you could stop and reflect for one day what that CHANGE means to most people.  You won't because you can't.  You are to calloused an individual to appreciate the feelings of your fellow man.  You are a shameless individual without a heart or a conscious.  I hope you are proud of yourself.  I hope your family is proud of you.  Keep offering up your opinions please.  They don't matter to anyone but you and a couple of other people here but keep posting your opinion.  No one here wants you to feel you are being shut out.  No one here would want you to feel that way.  Only you would feel like that.  Poor, poor soul.

George W. Bush has less than 60 days left attempting to govern our Nation.  On January 20, 2009, we take back and remand OUR country to the people.  Like it or not, thats the way it is bro.  The people of OUR country spoke on November 4th.  They demanded change and we will soon have it.  Just keep doing what you do best bro.  HATE!

Peace.  Out.

Dear Mr. West.....

Some helpful advice.  Just say "it's Bush's fault".  It's faster, direct, and many people will take the time to read it.  Some will even repeat it.

Your friend....Daryl
