Walmart tried to establish itself in Germany until back in 2005. They failed because the prices were barely competitive...

>morning chant
Do Americans really?

>chant
Americans really?

do walmart employees worldwide have to say the pledge of allegiance every morning?

>yes Mr. Shekelstein, pls whip me again so we can have that GDP

The Greeters would be enough reason for me to shop elsewhere too.

I heard that it's common in America to smile on the street at the total strangers and to strike up conversation with somebody next to you for no reason

why are americans so weird

WE

WALMART

The CRT TV in my room that I originally got for the 2006 World Cup was from Wal-Mart

>In Germany, Wal-Mart stopped requiring sales clerks to smile at customers — a practice that some male shoppers interpreted as flirting — and scrapped the morning Wal-Mart chant by staff members.
>“People found these things strange; Germans just don’t behave that way,” said Hans-Martin Poschmann, the secretary of the Verdi union, which represents 5,000 Wal-Mart employees here.
>“They didn’t understand that in Germany, companies and unions are closely connected,” Mr. Poschmann said. “Bentonville didn’t want to have anything to do with unions. They thought we were communists.”
>Compounding the problem, Wal-Mart shut down the headquarters of one of the chains, infuriating employees who opted to quit rather than move. Such a decision would have been routine in the United States, where Ms. Keck said, “moving is a big part of the Wal-Mart culture.” In Germany, she said, it prompted an exodus of talented executives.

>One issue was the chanting. Walmart employees are required to start their shifts by engaging in group chants and stretching exercises, a practice intended to build morale and instill loyalty. Fiendish as it sounds, Walmart employees are required to stand in formation and chant, "WALMART! WALMART! WALMART!" while performing synchronized group calisthenics.
>Another issue was the smiling. Walmart requires its checkout people to flash smiles at customers after bagging their purchases. Plastic bags, plastic junk, plastic smiles. But because the German people don't usually smile at total strangers, the spectacle of Walmart employees grinning like jackasses not only didn't impress consumers, it unnerved them.

They do really. I've talked to an American friend about the whole smiling thing, he said that he thinks he would miss strangers smiling at him if he moved to Europe cause he likes when that happens. It's so fucking weird

Jews are SEETHING

Walmart also failed in Spain. I think they tried to open two stores but they tanked and sold them.

if walmart infects here it will be the deathknell of any kind of independent shops. kind of sad to think about it because I hear they're trying to get a foot in the door.

Walmarts here didn't have greeters until a year or two ago. Its so fucking weird to me, why would I want to be greeted by some 18yo stoner who has to stand there and greet everybody he sees for 8 hours. Fuck off I'm just here to buy shit not talk to a zoomer for no reason.

I think that's the woman only ate tater tots or something her entire life and didn't like anything else so in the show they try to make her have a normal diet

walmarts job hours are also stupid, they require you to basically be "on call" for hours and their health and safety is a farce as well. i think if they came over here they would lobby the gov to depower unions. and knowing our gov, they would get on their knees to please the company, rights be damned

Both are reasons why they failed in Germany, though. If it were just about the prices, they wouldn't have made SUCH huge losses (estimated around 3 billion €)

>fav'rite
Do you read this any differently than favorite?

>“They didn’t understand that in Germany, companies and unions are closely connected,” Mr. Poschmann said. “Bentonville didn’t want to have anything to do with unions. They thought we were communists.”
This part is absolutely true though, Unions are extremely communist in practice.

My brain starts reading it as FAHV until it realises it's just a retarded way of saying favourite and corrects itself

>everyone is looking out for himself in capitalism and screws everyone else over
>nooo you can't hurt my company by looking out for your own good
Unions are the most capitalist thing there is

Unions are supported by antfifa radical commies in the US. All they want to do is milk the company dry without putting any effort to work themselves which leads to the whole company failing in the end. Unions are cancer

ok wagecuck

If you are getting employed, you are selling your labour in the free market. You're providing a service. It's completely fine for you to band together with other labour service providers and declare that you will all have to be paid X much or you won't work.

But if you are an employer providing a service, you can't band together with other service providers and decide that you will all have to be paid X or you won't work, because that's a cartel, and the government starts pointing guns at you.

I don't know about Germany, but over here union deals even concern employers that don't sign the union's collective labour agreement. In fact, it's illegal to break a contract you didn't even sign. Again the government is pointing guns at you.

It's an extremely communist concept, only workers are allowed to make collective deals. Any dissenter gets shot.
