    I have no issues with Suport.
    Suport wants to be part of the site here and has given great guidance in some things in the past, but also brings video or tv sources here, which conflict to our supported papiao sources/services.
    That is why you see the deletes on suport's posts. He deleted them himself, not me.
    He did that because he is or was mad at me for constantly telling him that outside sources of video content were not allowed here (m3u file playlists, as example).

    Yes he does troll me upon his visits here, but that does not bother me.
    As I mentioned, Suport is a good person, but just has a chip on his shoulder because I had to lay down some rules


    Now that other guy and his wally world posts and his alter ego 'Tippy' ,,, well that's another story
    Maybe one day he will understand why wally world does not get any good reviews here.

    Get out while you can, before Walmart takes your spirit, your health, and your dignity.

    Okay I am back... and I think I won the bet
    Besides 30 years ago and my visits Eatons and Sears, which were not part of wally world back then.

    The biggest sub seems to be Sam's Club with their subsidiaries. In Canada, Sam's Club found it difficult competing with well established supercenters in Ontario. These are mostly if not all found on the East coast provinces (Ontario mainly).

    WallY World took over Eatons (a clothing superstore) a few years ago in Canada.
    In Canada alone, Walmart has sent retailer chains such as The Bay, Zellers, Sears Canada, K-Mart Canada and Target into bankrupt and/or bought them out.

    I been to Eatons and to Sears but them were years and years ago, perhaps 30 years ago.


    In USA there is Sam's Club too which is a much stronger presence in the USA.

    Along with Wal-Mart Real Estate Business Trust and a Property Management outfit, both in USA.


    --Sam’s Club - East coast of Canada and USA.
    I live on the west side of Canada, so I never been.

    --ASDA Stores Ltd. - the second largest grocery retailer in the UK

    --Brompreco - a supermarket chain headquartered in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
    I never been to Brazil.

    --Jet.com - a Amazon partner.
    I have never bought anything from Amazon, not ever, not even once.

    --Great Value- Walmart introduced the Great Value groceries.
    I never been.

    --Bonobos - an online menswear retailer.
    I never bought menswear from any online retailer. My 'bonos' are just fine in my boxer shorts

    --Moosejaw - a Michigan-based outdoor retailer with a large online presence and 10 physical stores.
    I never been to Michigan.

    --ModCloth - an online retail focuses on quirky, trendy, and vintage clothing.
    I don't do quircky, so I never been

    --Vudu - media technology company with content delivery and internet distribution of films to television networks in Canada and the United States.
    I don't do Vudu, so never been.

    --Art.com - online art and wall wall décor retailer retailer.
    I don't do décor.

    --Shoebuy - an online shoe store.
    I don't wear shoes, so I never been

    --ELOQUII - an Amazon competitor.
    Nope, not me

    --Bare Necessities - online lingerie company.
    I wish !!

    --Flipkart - e-commerce company.
    Don't know but I am guessing probably not.

    --Massmart Holdings Limited - a South African company, second-largest distributor of goods in Africa.
    I never been to Africa.

    --Aspectiva - based in Tel Aviv.
    Never been.

    --Lider - retailer based in Chile.
    Never been to Chile.

    --Supermarcados Amigo - a chain of supermarkets in the United States.
    Never been.

    You did your homework lol They also are trading stock in over 30 markets pay a 1.75 dividend and average a 2.50 estimate stock price increase per share per year. The rich sit on there stocks as banks wont even come close with interest percentage. Its a shame they target the poor, pensioners and welfare and treat their employees the same.I agree a thousand percent with you, but as long as the rich purchase stock and the poor the goods. They are not going to feel any push back.By the way I don't own their stock or shop at there stores. You can take this further like Costco etc they are no different and I don't shop their either. Unfortunately the people they hurt shop their.

    Humans are very self centered , 90% only care when it applies to them , that same 90% are all zombies and have no clue what this world really is all about $$$$$ ;D


    @ crazed , i wanted to show everyone what is really going on , and honestly you could ban / delete them from here , but you allow them to be here , even after they've trashed talked and went personal .


    They know nothing about you , or what you do for a living or how hard you work to keep everyone safe , you go the extra mile for " others " both online and especially offline .


    I " think " 90% of people that interact with you , think you're profiting from papiao . They don't know volunteer and take personal time out of your life to help these people .


    I really did and still do appreciate you helping me out , all those times ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D



    oNE of these day's i'll return to Canada , we will have to get a drink ;D
