We had an incident here in Pagosa with someone I know and have known for a long time. A friend of mine applied for a management job at the new Walmart store here, and she was massively qualified. She had been in Pagosa for 19 years and ran her own business here in her field of expertise., was well known and loved, and she started from scratch and grew it into one of the largest of its kind companies, because of her customer service mentality. She retired, and got bored, so she decided to go back to work and applied to Walmart for a management position in the store.
She applied, went through a number of serious interviews, filled out an extensive list of questions with respect to managing staff, and did so well, that Walmart scheduled her for background check and drug testing. They do not do that since its expensive to do, unless they have determined that they would hire her. Well, one of the questions on the background check was age. "What year were you born?"
She believes it was either that question that killed her hire, or it was the answers to her management questions. In either case, Walmart lost an opportunity to hire someone with a proven record of success in managing a business that was a start up and she grew it to the largest in the area, and all of it through customer satisfaction and trust.
Today, the biggest complaint about Walmart, here in our town, is that they have zero customer service for the shopping public. Various depts are laid out weirdly, check out is a joke, and no one around to ask questions to by a needy customer. Since then I noticed just how empty the parking lot is compared to when it first opened. It appears their "top management" are not aware of just how important customer service is in this part of the country, and they are trying to shift the results/consequences of their ignorance in customer service, to the suppliers, by shifting profitability from Walmart's poor management, to the suppliers, as you will see below.
I am also wondering just what kind of impact on Walmart shoppers, the exposure that Walmart was acting as a protected supplier for the globalists to protect military supply routes, using Walmart trucks, facilities, and to also act as a holding facility for those patriots willing to resist the New World Order, especially, if there were no FEMA camps in close proximity? Well, you read and decide. Keep in mind that Pagosa is the new area 51.
FUND RAISING TIME AGAIN. This time we are in a bigger bind than we have anticipated, so we are begging you to donate as soon as possible to help us out of it. I can't go into it right now, but suffice it to say, We can not do our blogs or fund raising campaign, if we are out of business.
Now we are asking for donations toward our $190 deficit this month. If you can afford it, we appeal to you to donate to our cause to keep truth exposed and lies distroyed so we can prepare based on reality.... so help us do that, please use the pay pal button off to the right of this bog.
Thank you for all your support over these many years. I am still trying to find a way to fund this deficit without fund raising. So far, no luck, but I am not giving up, so hang with us until we do. Thank you again and God bless you and your family.
Walmart Collapse Spreads!

By Nathan Layne, Reuters, October 19, 2015
(Reuters) - Suppliers of everything from groceries to sports equipment are already being squeezed for price cuts and cost sharing by Wal-Mart Stores . Now they are bracing for the pressure to ratchet up even more after a shock earnings warning from the retailer last week.
The discount store
behemoth has always had a reputation for demanding lower prices from
vendors but Reuters has learned from interviews with suppliers and
consultants, as well as reviewing some contracts, that even by its
standards Wal-Mart has been turning up the heat on them this year.
