Is WalMart really a good store or business?

I agree, the dog had a training and they would not allow a service dog that was aggressive. So yes they were wrong. Thanks for responding.

I agree and have signed a petition against WalMart through the Care2.com site I belong to. We wish to support her and seek penalties for Walmart. They need better educated and through the wallet might be the most effective way! Thanks much for responding.

Thank you my friend and am glad the petition is available for many to sign. Thanks again for your responses.

I signed the petition, too. I hope everyone that reads this discussion will visit the link that you posted and add their name to the petition against Wal-Mart.

Like our men, we often don't get to choose the animal that we end up sharing our lives with. This dog was certified and I wonder what the deal was with the Little Rascals show and their pitbull back in the day. It is true that we do not have all the information, however, it is enough for me to know that the dog was certified and wore its vest and there are laws governing this situation! Thanks much for responding.

That is very true. The law is the law.

The voice of reason, I am so glad you chose to respond here. I hope that all are able to read your response. Well Put!! Thanks for responding.

Your welcome! (:

they cannot exclude service dogs in maryland from any public business

Thank you so much for your response. I can definitely hear what you are saying. Miss old Sam Walton! Thanks for responding and so quickly!!

Well for someone who has never ever stepped foot into a walmart store you sure know a lot about them! I shop at walmart because its my choice, ive never had an issue with any of there stores, of course there employess dont earn money, what do you expect with a only a high school education or lower? But if this were true about the dog and the managers then im sure they will be fired for there actions.

Thank you for responding and expressing your point of view! Am hoping to post the outcome of this situation for all us to know!

This is the rights of the disabled with the use of a certified service dog. Thank you for responding.

I am adding their petition to my myspace,Thanks!!

Am pleasantly surprised and pleased. Thanks so much for responding to this discussion!

I do have to agree with you that's it's all about the money. We had a very bad snow storm where i live on feb.14th and they never shut down our wal-mart. You wouldn't believe how they made the worker's come into work. I had to work that day and when i left my car was barried by all of the snow. I couldn't find the car in the parking lot. We where in a state of emergince and our district maniger wouldn't give the order to close so that we didn't have to risk the worker's or customer's lives for them to go out on the roads. We ended up with 33 inches of snow from that storm and we are still trying to recover from it. I'm very very mad that we where not able to stop people from driving on the roads when they where that bad. All that the higher up's could think of was how we needed to stay open to make money. It was very rude.

Jamie I hear you and concur. We had a mall do the same thing here and the highway patrol said we could get a fine for driving. the employees had to go to a hotel nearby. Spend their own money. It was awful. Walmart and store managers everywhere need to tend to the real businss and that is the employees and customers. Thanks so much for responding.

Since Mr. Walton is deceased it IS all about the money. Thanks for responding.

I forgot about Care2.com. They are awesome activists. Need to get a new account there, thanks for reminding me.

No problem would be great to be associated with you there. Thanks again for responding to this discussion!!

Yeah, I should have heard of that on my Care2.com site since we are pretty active with petitions and such about all companies. I will search for it and I so appreciate your responding.

Thank you so much for responding. I know about these dogs and know that little yappy lap type dogs bite much more that any pit bull attacks. Thanks for responding!!

Thanks much for your response. Information and knowledge is power! Appreciate your response.

ok i have to stand up for wal-mart some time. The way products look and the way that they are sold is the way the store is run. The store that i work into dosn't have boxes that are all busted up and taped, or packages all over the floors, yes some stuff get's returned but we have a very strict return policy at my store. We also have 4 people who clean the store all day long and all of our associates in our store make sure that every thing is up off the floors so that no one gets hurt. We work very hard to keep our store clean and neat and the products the same way so that the customer's come back looking for more. This is the way that our store maniger likes to run things. Like a nice oiled machine. We get paid pretty good money for the area that we live in. I'm getting paid about $9 an hour and i'm just a cashier. If i went to working over nights then i would be gettin $10 an hour. So if my area thats a pretty good pay check. Now i don't know how the other stores treat their employees but mine is pretty good. Our managers are always out working on the floor and if a customer needs help they are always willing to help them out. This is the way that sam walton wanted it to be in the first place. I'm sorry but reading how every one had all of these bad experiances at wal-mart just mad it so that i had to speak out. It's all how the store that you go to is runed. It's not all of the stores that are like that.

Thank jamie, our store is ok, manager was good to us after our housefire, did have that experience with the busted boxes though. Things do happen and am glad you have a good one. I exercise the buyer beware in my case!! Thanks for your input, it is important.

I made the mistake of trying to buy a DVD player there. The boxes were scrunched and taped. I said no way. Good box or none!! Thank you for responding.

Yeah, it is amazing how far the misunderstanding has gone. The only other white pit bull I am familiar with was in Little Rascals many years ago. Television at its finest. Thanks for responding.

Glad you provided the official details and I really appreciate your response to this discussion!

I just saw the photo of Chloe wearing her cloak. Wal-Mart can be sued.

My friend you have put it nicely and the humor is much appreciated. There are always options if they are only looked for. Thanks kindly for your response.

Not my situation, one that was shared at a Care2.com site I belong to. I brough it here after I signed a petition to rectify this situation. Thanks much for your response.

I can hear what you say. Our Walmart is clean except in the bathrooms. I am a cleaner and ask them if they had someone on staff to take care of it. They said yes and I said that I thought that they were not doing their job. Mentioned who I worked for and hoped for the best. They do misrepresent their people skills. Thanks for responding to this discussion.

The voice of reason. Am sure that they dog was screened really well. This is a business and they have knowledgeable people handling the training of these dogs of all breeds. Thanks alot for responding.
