Wal-Mart Launches "American Idol"-Like Contest

Contest suggestion! Ten people get a hour to search walmart for three items made in the USA.

I know it's the largest company now but so was Woolworths and try to find one. Sam's grandchildren will blow the money and it will spiral down by 2050. I won't be here to see it but it will end. Sam is rolling in his grave. He wanted to make money but give us all something for less and he insisted on Customer Service. Not anymore.

How about the American Dream ( and NOT made in China)

How about some pajama pant suspenders for their customers?

How about selling products made in America.

Watch your patents and copyrights, Wal-Mart is notorious for gaming the market to where you end up selling the rights to them to survive then they go national with it and make $$$$$$. Avoid feeding the monster, buy local when you can.

If they truly like your idea but don't like your terms they will just steal it and sell it anyways.

Got an idea for product that will sit on their shelves perfectly...a robot that keeps saying "BUY USA PRODUCTS! BUY USA PRODUCTS!" while spinning it head that shoots red, blue and white sparks.

Walmart Makes huge profits, destroys small mom and pop shops, but their stock hasn't done anything in 10 years. Where is the money going?

I have submitted my fishing invention that makes fishing more fun called the DualFin and BulletBobber. They are fishing floats that kind of work like a stunt kite but sit on the water. It moves to the left or right and flips direction and color when given a little tug by flicking your rod tip. If you are fishing in a river or stream you can get it to go wherever you want downstream without recasting. If you are fishing in a lake or pond you can reel and make it go left or right to reach places you can't cast. They can explore and discover new territory that others cannot reach. www.bulletbobber.com

Please vote for DualFin and BulletBobbers starting March 7

why does walmart keep advertising AD MATCH GUARANTEE but when you take an ad in from another store that says buy one get one free they wont honor it!!!!!!What a scam

Wal-mart needs someone to invent a way for them to open more than 2 of the 25 cash registers so their customers can have decent checkout service.

I am going to write a handbook on how to treat employee's and customers to try and get it on the shelves. Problem is it will probably burst into flames when entering the store because its blasphemy to the Wal-Mart gods.

How about Walmart "invents" a customer service plan...because no one knows where ANYTHING is in that store. I asked the other day where their "apple" products were--clearly holding my ipod in my hand and gesturing towards it--and he took me to the produce section and just walked away....really dude?

I was thinking it would be the search for the slobbiest, most non - appropriately dressed, Walmart shopper. I love those photos! Wal Mart is like shopping on Halloween all year long.

Sam Walton was a true american who would give shelf space to small american businesses so they could compete in the world market. He also gave company stock to employees as bonuses and gifts of course then it was only worth a quarter a share and had not split a dozen times. If he were alive today he would be very angry.

I hate Walmart becauses everything they sell is make in China, but also because they are notorious for low wages and treating their employees badly.

Yeah Walmart will get your price down to Nothing..... I know a guy who worked for a company that has products in Walmart even today. He told me how in meetings Walmarts people would haggle you down on price to the point where you made little profit.
The only chance with your product in Walmart to make you money is on volume. And that's grasping at straws..... Some companies won't put their product in Walmart. Not worth it.
Some of the stuff is so cheap only being Made in China is it possible to sell in Walmart. Geez, the people in China are getting like 50 cents a day to work for 10 or 12 hours a day and only get One day off. They already have it figured out that the workers are good for about 5 years and then you just cycle in the next group.
This is why I try not to buy anything made in China. Which means I by little at Walmart. Remember 25 years ago when Walmart talked about ... Made in America products ?
Buy Local if you can.... I do.

I DO hope these inventors realise they had better patent their inventions first because under current US patent law, the first to file get's the patent, even if he didn't have ANYTHING to do with creating the invention. Makes it easier for our Corporate overlords to continue to screw us over at their leisure.

Serve up those ideas America so Walmart can sell them to their friends in Beijing.
