Wal-Mart Cutting CD Shelf Space to Make Room for Blu-ray

Maybe it is because Wal-Mart is on that "family values" bandwagon and only sells "edited" CDs.... That is why I do not buy any CDs there. Because I prefer unedited original versions of the CDs. I know, because I worked for Wal-Mart for almost 12 years, before I finally found another better job that my degree actually applies too, several years ago.

It is also because, it is so easy to download, legally & illegally, the music & albums from the internet. But that will change here shortly if MPAA/RIAA get their way.

Wal-Mart has cut down on a very important item--customer service. Heck, they've been cutting down on that for years, and will no doubt continue to do so. They've gotten too big for their britches and forgotten that Sam Walton built Wal-Mart on good customer service and employees being treated with respect by their supervisors. Lee Scott must think Wal-Fart can get by with the support of big investors and stockholders alone. He'll wake up to the fact one day that happy employees and satisfied customers are the foundation of any business that wants to stay in business.

JoAnn, you are so right. You took the words right out of my mouth....U Go Girl.............

i work for walmart and it makes me sick 2 see all the cutbacks there doing in the company sam walton is rolling in his grave right now they dont hire fulltime anymore no raise after 90 days anymore and now no discoun t card until u make it past ur first 90 days they even modle themselves after target its getting pathetic maybe they just need people at the top with fresh ideas instead of stale thinking 2 help find ways 2 reduce cost that dont have many harse effects on its workers they are the ones who help them earn there big bucks the little people get little

BUT WALMART DOES HAVE THE CHEAPEST PRICES STILL ON MANY ITEMS

Man...I can't afford Blu Ray, HD, or whatever. And I LIKE CD's...I can afford those.
But that isn't the point. The point is that Wal-Mart is pure, unfiltered, 100% of your daily allowance, concentrated evil. I will continue to say this until either me or Wal-Mart ceases to exist on this planet.
I hope it goes first, though.

Personally...I dont think u should be allowed 2 get a discount card till after 90 days...because u get one then quit...not right---u need 2 prove yourself 2 the company first....I feel seasonal help should not be allowed a card either....as for the raise after one year works for me...this December would've been 3 years if I hadn't quit back on May 15th. The company did no wrong to me, it was the store I was in that I didn't care for...I had transfered from a Great supercenter down to a regular WMs since it was closer to home and hated it at the non SC. Im going 2 reapply after the holidays are said and done... (to return 2 the SC)

i don't like blue rays, no matter what, id never want to get those disc. they cost a lot. whats the difference? quality? to get more quality, your using more money. the economy is going down. its the dumbest i dea wal mart has ever had.

I don't think any big box store is any better to work at. No matter how you slice it, I can't live on $6 an hour.

I had to reply to some comments. I am sorry that those of you who are unhappy with your job at wal mart work in a different store than I do. My store is a small SC. I have worked there a year and received 3 raises, I started well over $6. an hr. Yes we may have varying schedual hrs. but at my store we are treated with respect by all other emplyees and supervisors and most importantly by our customers. I was lucky to get hired here when we went from walmart to super wal mart because most employees here were at the other store for any where from 10 to 25 yr. I was hired when the store opened to fill the openings (new) I am due for another raise in Jan. and you also forgot to mention the profit share you get after 6 months. also part time employees get insurance benifits after 1 year. The discount card is just a small plus for working at walmart.

I WORKED AT WAL-MART TOO AND IT REALLY SUCKED MANAGERS ALWAYS THOUGHT THEY WERE BETTER THAN EVERYBODY ELSE. YOU ALWAYS HAD TO DO OTHER THINGS THAT WHAT YOU WERE HIRED TO DO BASICALLY GETTING PAID THE SAME AMOUNT TO DO TWO OR MORE JOBS.. RIDICULOUS MAYBE EVENTUALLY THEY WILL GO BELLY UP.. AND THE SMALLER STORE WITH QUALITY MERCHANDISE CAN FLOURISH AGAIN. I HAVE NEVER BOUGHT ANYTHING IN ELECTRONICS THAT I HAVENT HAD TO RETURN BECAUSE IT WAS A PIECE OF S HIT!!..QUANITY INSTEAD OF QUALITY SHOULD BE THERE MOTTO!!

Many of today's stores earn the nick-name of "Little China". It's just that Wal-Mart wins the name hands down! CDs or Blu-Ray - time marches on and products will change with the times. I wish the stores would stop supporting China and buy the things that are made in the U.S.A!
