California: The bags are reusable and washable and very durable.

“Wally World” is a corporate bloodsucker. It wants to apply the PC band-aid for snowflakes, but its employees and their families need living wages and benefits. Stop killing our communities. Stop tapping out local enforcement.

I think the guy is trying. Solve that grocery bag issue, get rid of all guns and ammo and cigs. Also pay everyone 15$ per. It’s coming...hit a home run before anyone sees it coming. I like my Walmart though theres only two lanes open and 26 closed. Less registers more money for the peeps?...I can’t be responsible for all the good ideas Mr. McMillon...but I can be hired....for a price:)

Let’s be realistic: change is hard. I’m glad to see Walmart taking any steps at all.

The middle ground doesn't convince anyone when it comes to corporate greed. Walmart's disregard for it's employees, the majority of whom depend on SNAP benefits and medicaid to survive, won't be papered over with non statements on social issues.

The workers at Walmart complain about temperatures and low wages. In the summer it's always too hot and in the winter too cold. Walmart doesn't care about its employees. They still allow people to carry guns inside their stores. I don't believe a word Mr. McMillion has said.

Walmart's "socially responsible behavior" is all hat, no cattle. It is money that rules.
