Walmart Calls ‘all black people’ to Leave Store

Last Sunday in New Jersey, a flagship store of Walmart had an in store announcement saying “Attention Wal-Mart customers: All black people leave the store now.” Wal-Mart and local police are investigating the incident.

Walmart is the North American super giant supermarket company that owns UK’s ASDA store. It is obvious to me (or I can’t believe otherwise) that the announcement is not representative of Walmart as a company but of a rogue employee.

What do I know being situated in the UK, and never set foot in a Wal-Mart store!

If the Bank Can’t Keep to Appointments

I found a savings product that I am interested in and so I go into the bank to book an appointment about 3 hours from the present time. I go out of the Santander bank branch to have my lunch at PizzaHut, and come back about ten minutes prior to my book appointment and ‘check in’ at the reception desk and then consequently get ask to wait.

As I wait in the sitting area, I observe how the branch staff operates. I could see that the receptionist chatting away at a customer about their holiday preference, this is ok under other circumstances were no other person in the queue. Ten minutes go by and I see who the queue is growing longer and longer, witnessing how the other customers are getting agitated but being all calm about the business unrelated conversation that’s holding everything up.

Anyway,50 minutes go by and I am not being serve so I decided to take my money elsewhere.

After the banking crisis, what choices do I really have, I really hope the UK decides to follow President Obama’s example by breaking up the banks, as this will allow us consumers more choices on whom to bank with. Santander, the Spanish banking giant has swallowed up a good

Chunk on the UK banning sector and in the last round the HSBC group gobbled up a few banks. What happened to the monopoly and merger’s commission or the competition commission, they should have blocked most of the mergers.

Hey, guys and gals, wasn’t 2009 a full of fun, where did it all go (and I am not talking about USA & UK banks).
