Should Walmart be unionized why or why not?
Yes, and no. There are currently no unionized walmart associates (workers) in the United States. At one time a few meat-cutters were unionized, but that fell apart. Now walmart has only pre-packaged meat. In Canada however there are unionized workers. Most people are familiar with the store that shut down after forming a union, but another has popped up, and others are pending certification. http://www.walmartworkerscanada.com
Does Walmart have the characteristics of a firm in pure competition?
Wal-Mart is almost certainly not an example of pure competition. Pure competition is characterized by a very large number of sellers - each with an almost infinitesimally small market share - selling a non-differentiated product. Wal-Mart's market share is immense (as you stated) and they differentiate their product through branding measures that include everyday low prices, convenient hours, etc. There can be tough competition in every market structure (except monopoly) but that does not mean that the market meets the definition of pure competition.

How do you make your dad take you to Walmart?
Tell her that you really need something there or tht you have something you need to return from a trip to Walmart you went on with your relative. Then, tell her that you need a few minutes and she'll be in another department so she won't see that you're not really returning something and what you get will be supposedly what you're getting in return of your so called other purchase. Bring a purse and say that you have what you want to return inside of the purse. Good luck!

Does walmart offer lower prices than other stores?
That is a tough question. Umm... no. You would never know unless you knew every store in the world. And their are probably other stores that have lower prices, such as Serrendipity that only sell their items for $1 each.
It depends on where you live. I grew up in a town of about 15,000 with no chain grocery stores. However we did have a mall with stores such as JC Penney, Target, and K-Mart. For groceries it was Walmart hands down. For everything else it was a toss-up.
I now live in the Seattle area with major grocery chains like Safeway, Albertsons, and Fred Meyer. Here Walmart is much less competitive. I did some research today and noticed frozen pizza, spaghetti sauce and chips were cheaper. While I paid more for milk, cheese, and frozen chicken.
I think I'll save myself the huge crouds, depression and long lines by avoiding Walmart in the future. Besides the other chain stores probably treat their employees well, give them health insurance, and don't buy all their stuff from China.
