See, this have is a success because the topic IS the Hive, thus there is more Hivishness abound. Huzzah!

Off course, I'm tremendously biased by being in a country where it doesn't exist.

Give it time. The Evil will spread to even your country. They are the borg. resistance is futile.

Just making sure that it's the film called: La Cité des enfants perdus we're talking about.

Good, but weird movie. Saw it a couple of years ago. Haven't seen their other movies.

I highly doubt it, we have our own "walmart" they're called "Bilka" but otherwise excately the same.

Some of their business practices people do not like. Being a highly successful national chain they can charge better prices then most other stores, driving the smaller shops out of business. I've also heard of people working there getting the maximium hours without any benifts allowed by law, thus they don't have to cover people's health care

For the first part, bah, it's a proven fact that big shopping centers actually helps local businesses. For the second part, we can ask ASH about that. What say you ASH?

Well they can screw with one's schedule somewhat. But they are not a fan of overtime, so they dont usually schedule more than 40hrs a week. The benifits, while not amazing, are good. Anyone can be covered. They even offer suplemental insurance for people that are in their grace period between jobs. They also have part time benifits. 401 K, and profit sharing. Bonus's, merit raise's, stockholders bounus's, holiday time, sick time, berevement time, ect... Alot of what people say about Walmart is not entirely true. They actually save small bussiness owners in america over 30 million dollars a year because many small buisnesses buy supplies at walmart. They have benifits for everything, inculding eyeglasses. And its not that expensive. The big problem comes in when Walmart moves to a town that is not really big enough to support it. Thats when small buisness's close, and mom and pop shops go out of buisness.
Here we have enough people that will pay a bit more for the customer service and intimate feeling of a small town hardware store that the harware store is not really affected by Walmart.

I know alot more about walmart than I wish I ever did, but as some were army brats.. i was a Walmart brat with both parents in managment. Now I am probably going in to managment.. crazy..??? I think so.
