Walmart I can go to bathroom when it
comes to giant retailers Walmart is a
cut above the rest it is the largest
private employer in the US and its
annual revenue is in the hundreds of
billions that's the budget of a small
European country but not everything is
rosy for the large corporation no
company wants anything out there that
would tarnish its image so let's uncover
ten secrets Walmart doesn't want you to
know part two owned by a wealthy family
and you're not old because I'm not right
the first fact about Walmart relates to
the owners understandably this is one
nugget the wealthy family wouldn't like
to get around but it's not exactly a
secret that the Waltons owned the large
retailer which makes them the richest
family in the world
even oil companies can't compete with
the riches of these guys as the zoo so
what does that tell us besides the fact
that the first part of the retailer's
name comes from the family name it
actually tells us a lot especially if we
add another fact about the low wages and
harsh working conditions of the
employees we've already covered that
point in part 1 of this series when you
think of the richest family in the world
adding billions to their wealth every
year while the employees are only
getting poorer you can understand why
the Waltons prefer to stay out of the
limelight now don't get me wrong there's
nothing wrong with being rich the only
thing that is wrong here is that if you
as the owner keep getting richer by
exploiting your workers and not sharing
your profits with them Walmart would
rather pay the shareholders than raise
the wages of the employees to $15 an
hour we've all heard about corporate
greed but this one takes the cake
greed for lack of a better word is good
day-old bread is just as yummy it's a
great morning no matter how you slice it
that was a dark start so let's turn our
attention to something that would
benefit you if you shop at Walmart
it's about bread we all love the smell
of fresh bread but living in a city
makes the chance of seeing fresh bread
coming out of the oven as rare as
spotting a unicorn
strolling down Times Square and since
most of us get our bread from the
supermarket the expiry date is the way
to tell if it's actually fresh or not if
you buy your bread from Walmart take a
walk down the bakery aisle there you'll
find day-old bread and other bakery
products one successful company that
isn't cookie based Microsoft for one
thing they're cheaper than the fresh
ones but other than the price there's
not much difference between them and the
ones that were baked on the same day
they both taste the same smell the same
and look the same so why not save a few
bucks on your bakery items every week
you can get a loaf of bread for as low
as $1 of course Walmart offers these
huge discounts because the company would
rather sell them at any price rather
than throw them away so it is a win-win
for everyone that is how we win cheap
labor you gotta work hard I swear to God
if you're not going to do it come on
we've talked before about big
corporations running overseas sweatshops
and sometimes utilizing child labor to
cut down on costs and increase their
profit a quick Google search will yield
plenty of scandals of this type but
what's new here is that you don't need
to go overseas to find cheap labor why
go through the trouble when you have
private prison systems that offer an
endless supply of convicts all year
round and the prosecution has not
presented one single piece of evidence
against me and it's all legal now these
convicts who are forced to work for as
low as $2 an hour don't work directly
for Walmart there's no chance of that
just think of the public outcry if you
discovered that the guy who stopped the
shelves at the fresh produce section was
a convict serving a life sentence it
wouldn't look good so instead these
modern-day slaves work in farms
harvesting veggies and fruits what's
more it turns out that this systematic
exploitation of prisoners isn't unique
to the US either in China this unjust
practice is widespread and involves
forcing prisoners to work 14 hours a day
in harsh and inhumane conditions and
also that we can get our groceries at a
low price while these shareholders in
Walmart get higher returns on their
investment
welcome to the real world the sweet
dollar deals Wow
we mentioned that if you know where to
look you can find a loaf of bread
selling for $1 at Walmart luckily
there's no cheap labor involved here and
the low prices are part of a marketing
campaign to attract customers
furthermore a loaf of bread is not the
only thing you can get for a buck at the
giant retailer much like a dollar store
Walmart offers its customers the
occasional dollar deal to keep them
coming back the trick is to know when
such deals are on and which aisles have
the coveted cheap merchandise sometimes
you can get shampoos deodorants and
other personal grooming products at a
dollar a piece moving showered and you
smell good so it's always a good idea to
check they're more often you'll also
find gift cards and greeting cards for
this low price all year round these
gifts are reserved for the people you
don't care very much about but still
have to send them a gift anyway some
websites like I Heart the Mart keep a
page dedicated to these dollar deals at
Wal Mart so it's worth checking there
before you head over to your nearest
Walmart for your regular shopping come
out to the Walmart think I still be
there waiting 45 years later
Walmart and the cops am I in trouble
they can arrest me what for for living
in the Walmart we all try to love and
respect the police from a distance that
is nobody likes to have a cop tailing
them on the road a police car is always
better ahead of you than behind you this
is not a reflection of a guilty
conscience it's just that when a cop
approaches it's often followed by a knot
in your stomach and the assumption you
must have done something wrong or that
you're about to be blamed for something
you didn't do
Walmart on the other hand has a deep
love for cops see Walmart employees like
to call the cops
a lot more so than other businesses that
deal with the public someone lifts a $3
pack of tissues call the cops I called
the cops a hungry guy makes it out the
door with a day-old loaf of bread bring
the wrath of the police force on them
it's ridiculous where's the Walmart
security I hear you ask well that's the
point
Walmart would rather the local cops
handle incidents of petty theft than the
company pay for their own security
system why hire mall cop
when you have the men and women in blue
a phone call away and if you're thinking
that this would only stretch the police
force and keep them from dealing with a
serious crime you wouldn't be wrong but
that trivial point doesn't seem to
bother the management at Walmart as long
as it keeps costs down how much is this
$1,200 great free shipping obviously Mon
and I sell religious hook rugs over the
Internet this is one nifty trick that
many people may not know about and will
save you a lot of money and time while
you're shopping if you like to shop
online you'll be pleased to know that
Walmart delivers your purchases to your
home free of charge the minimum order
has to be 35 dollars however sweet but
what if your order is less than that
easy
easy as pie you can choose the ship to
store option it means your order will be
ready for you to pick up at any store of
your choosing here's how you can use
that option to your advantage
say your day is packed with errands and
you don't have time to go to Walmart and
spend hours walking down aisles picking
stuff and having to wait in line at the
cashier just make your shopping trip
online and have them ship it to the
store now all you need to do is drop by
the store later that day or the next day
and pick up your order it doesn't get
easier than that you save time and also
money since all online prices are
usually cheaper than the ones in the
physical store welcome to the Internet
my friend when the price wars a price
for everything I think we can all agree
that one of the best features of
capitalism is the fact that it doesn't
tolerate one person or company to have a
monopoly over the market usually at
least there are rules and regulations in
place to prevent such manipulative
practices and no matter what you think
of Walmart or its closest rival Amazon
you must appreciate their rivalry as
consumers we like to see the price wars
rage on as each retailer tries to seduce
us with huge discounts and amazing
promotions it's a thrilling feeling to
snag a deal online or buy a TV set for
next to nothing I want to watch it
downstairs on the big TV so the question
now is how can you best benefit from the
price feud between the two giants easy
enough compare prices online
make sure you get the best deal there's
no point in being a loyal customer to
one retailer or the other when you can
save real cash on your weekly shopping
remember that free shipping service we
talked about previously it wouldn't be
possible if Amazon wasn't trying to woo
customers with free shipping as well
it's a great time to be alive isn't it
the best you'll ever have seek the
coupons here's a coupon look pal I don't
take coupons from giant chickens one of
the best things about Walmart is that it
allows you to keep the change on your
coupon say you have a $10 coupon and you
made a purchase for eight dollars and 35
cents that leaves you with 165 Walmart
will let you keep that dollar sixty-five
cents and use it in future shopping now
you can understand why your aunt Myrtle
spends hours scouring papers and
websites looking for Walmart coupons so
where can you get your hands on these
coupons will save you the embarrassment
of having to ask aunt Myrtle she
probably won't tell you anyway
not after you insulted her pooch and
called her cat neurotic and will just
refer you to some good websites there
was a miscommunication when we
registered our website you can visit I
hurt the Mart or passion for savings to
find coupons and special deals it also
helps to follow Walmart on social media
such as Twitter where they post a
special offers on a regular basis
chasing coupons might sound like a waste
of time
but when you see the savings you can
make on your grocery shopping you'll
probably change your mind and decide to
make coupon hunting a regular pastime of
yours and nobody has to know you saved
one
sixty-four dollars and 42 cents it's all
in the price tag possible to make them
think I might actually buy something
this is definitely a secret that Walmart
wouldn't want you to know about it has
to do with the price tag code the
company uses when you see a new item on
the Shelf such as a lamp or toaster you
might be tempted to buy it before it
gets picked by other customers but
that's not usually a good idea time is
on your side here when planning your
shopping strategy large retailers like
Walmart don't like products with a heavy
butt by that we mean items that stay on
the shelves for months on end a quick
turnover is the goal of every retailer
so when an item sits around for weeks
without making a sale the company
usually gives it a new price tag with a
discount
I'm also will need that extended
warranty on it for the price on the
house so how do you know if this is the
first price tag or a final one that's
where the price tag code comes in if the
price tag ends with a 7 then it's a new
item and this is the original price so a
pen that sells for $2.97 means it just
got here and if you wait a little the
price will come down the discounted
price usually ends with a 5 so a few
weeks later you might find the same pen
selling for $2 35 cents when the product
still won't sell Walmart will give it a
few more discounts keep that in mind the
next time you want to buy at the
retailer new parents get free stuff as
we mentioned before not all big
corporations are evil and not all their
marketing strategies are aimed at
snaring the customers and fleecing them
certainly not this one which is a good
practice by the giant retailer new
parents will get a free baby box you'll
need to fill out a form on the Walmart
website just navigate to the baby box
page to apply sure enough Walmart will
send a baby box to your home free of
charge so what's in the box well as
expected you'll find lots of stuff
related to babies from pacifiers to
diapers nursing pads wipes and feeding
bottles most of these free samples will
give you a leg up in the new Parenthood
and help you try the products before you
buy them naturally he'll be purchasing
loads of these baby items so it's always
a good idea to know which brands are
good for your baby stick around and tap
