Advantages for Wal-Mart

Today in America, a lot of people do not like Wal-Mart because they consider it as an unbeneficial supermarket for many reasons such low paying for its employers and sexism against women. For example, when Wal-Mart decided to open branch in Lawrence which is a small city in Kansas, a lot of people refused this project for these reasons. However, Wal-Mart opened its branch at the end, and a lot of people in Lawrence now shop from it. Actually, Wal-Mart is beneficial because it is convenient, has low prices and has good services.

First of all, Wal- Mart contains low priced goods. As a result, people can save their money because they can find many items cheaper in Wal-Mart than other supermarkets, especially; the basic needs for families such a sugar, soda, vegetables and fruit. For example, the box of Coca-Cola in Wal-Mart is 6.00 dollars but in other supermarkets are almost 7.00 dollars. In addition, because it is cheap, Wal-Mart is good for a big family. People can buy more quantities of their basic’s needs. For example, 2 bags of bread cost 2.00 dollars but in other supermarkets 1 bag of bread cost almost $ 1.49. So by these ways people can save a lot of money when they decide to buy from Wal-Mart.

Second, Wal-Mart is convenient. People can find everything for their needs in Wal-Mart. Actually, American’s can find most of their basic needs such as milk, bread, fruit and vegetables or their secondary needs such as perfumes and watches in Wal-Mart because the branches of Wal-Mart are usually big. Also, they can find Wal-Mart in many cities and towns in America. That means Wal-Mart is available in big cities like New York, middle cities like Kansas City and small cities like Carbondale. As a result, people when move to another city because their change their work or their university, they can find big supermarket that contains their needs.

Third, Wal-Mart has good services. For example, people can return any item that they bought. So if someone bought a vacuum and it was not appropriate for him or for her, he or she can return it. Also, Wal-Mart has enough parking. For Example, if people come to the Wal–Mart in the afternoon on Sunday, at time which a lot of people go shopping, people can find easily parking for their cars. Also, the employers spread in many situations in Wal-Mart, so if people have any questions, they can ask them and the employers will help them. As a result, when people visit Wal-Mart, they do not worry about finding parking or about returning inappropriate products or about finding employers to ask them.

Some of people forget all these advantages and say that Wall-Mart is unbeneficial because it puts out a lot of low quality products for sale and they are unhealthy for consumers. In fact, this view is not right because all the products in Wal-Mart pass the checking from the government and the government is sure that it is a good product to consume. For example, when Wal-Mart puts out tomatoes for sale that means tomatoes pass test checking and they are ready to consume by customers and there is no disadvantages or problems to consume them. Also, some of people say that Wal-Mart is too big and it wastes our time but the truth is the Wal-Mart save our time because people can buy their needs in one store and they do not need to move from store to store to buy their needs. Therefore, the pretexts these people are not valid.

In conclusion, because Wal-Mart is convenient, has low prices and has good services, people should be happy when Wal-Mart decides to open more branches through the USA. In fact, when we contrast the advantages for Wal-Mart with the disadvantages, we will see the advantages are more than the disadvantages and that will help the people who are not persuaded with Wal-Mart to change their persuasions because these advantages help us to do the important things for all the people like saving money.

This is one of the worst written blogs I have ever read. First off, your analysis is completely off. If you are going to compare advantages with disadvantages you should probably do your research. People do not complain about the product quality of Wal-Mart, the complain about the social strain that it puts on the communities that it enters into. People also complain about racism, sexism, a poor and costly heath care plan for its workers, the fact that they break national law regarding labor unions and a variety of other grievances... not just "the quality is bad and unhealthy for people". There are also advantages to Wal-Mart. As u stated "low prices are good, and there is plenty of parking... you know, cause people don't like to walk, so parking is important..." This is just one persons opinion, but you should probably learn how to write, or at least do some research before you post vomit on the internet....

RJ is right. This is poorly written and lacks research. I'm not going to repeat what he says, but there are definitely reasons why Walmart is good for a community. You need to actually look things up before posting stupid things like this though. It just makes you look ignorant.
