- A visit to the folksiest, friendliest museum this side of the Country Bear Jamboree.....the WalMart Museum, located in the original Walton's 5-and-Dime building in the folksy, friendly town of Bentonville, Arkansas....where folks are real friendly! All joking aside, this museum is a fascinating study in globalization and is super interesting...check it out!
Little known Sam Walton fact : He would not allow his store managers or corporate headquarter managers to drive expensive cars or build fancy houses. He was fanatic about the appearance of a down home, working class image. The day they laid him in the ground, Northwest Arkansas exploded into a building boom, the likes of which Arkansas had never seen. Multi-multi millionaires went crazy flashing their wealth.
They didn't waste a second after he passed away. 😔😔
another great video Wonderhussy...love what you do.
So the skinny was during my road-trips that it’s in Walmart’s charter that a section of the parking lot was reserved for people on the road who needed a place rest for the night. And sure enough every Walmart I found (which was in almost any town/city of significance) had an area reserved for resting. Which makes sense since they’re open 24/7 and available for a lot of your needs. Pro tip: find the one at the end of town in the direction you’re heading so don’t get stuck in morning rush hour cause if you’re in a major town/city, you want to be heading out, not through, traffic on your way out to your next destination. So I have to give Walmart big time props for doing that!
i live near crystal bridges museum & WANT that mini wal mart shopping cart!! you're right, this is the best gift shop on earth . . .
Great video but wanted to let you know that the picture of him where you thought he was driving a truck, was actually him flying his single engine plane that he would use to fly over his stores to see how busy they were. Thought you might like to know.
Lovely to look at nice to hold if you break it mark it sold ! Wow another great video !
Wonderhussy Road Warrior in Arkansas. OMG, you go girl !! 😎
WalMart is were the Huss shops. She's frugal, not cheap. Great video as I never knew this museum existed.
Hello Wonder Hussy,
I loved this video, you do a great job making your videos interesting even if its about a controversial subject like Wal-mart , I am a new subscriber and liking it. Sure loved both those old Ford Trucks.
+Steve The Ford Guy busted old Fords are the best!
Awesome tour!! Thanks!!!
.....Like your smile..... Love your style.....!!
Welcome to Arkansas. I hope you enjoy your visit to Little Rock.
Love the slinky dog .
Sam Walton was born in my Dad's hometown in Oklahoma.
Oh, politics. Please, don't comment on it. I specifically watch your vids as a refuge from the politics. Your channel up to now has been a great place to rinse your soul after all the current crazy in the world. Like a hot spring for your soul. Please don,t pee politics in the hot spring. Love your vids.
Great video...Now I won't have to visit that place...Use to live in Little Rock..I have been near that museum,but never went inside..Thanks for the tour..WalMart is much hated from the comment section here..Wow...WalMart is on the downward spiral..Laying off 20 year employees at corporate headquarters with absolutely no notice what so ever..numbers are in the hundreds...most position aren't being refilled...but the ones that get refilled are being replaced with people from India...WTF is going on? Corporate office looks like a foreign country office..How do these people get in this country ? Perhaps Hillary has the answer...
I'm in Columbus Ohio n never heard of Walmart until the 2000s, this is a cool video even if I'm yrs late, lol
Side note: ol Roy dog food comes from the pet pantrys n dollar stores
love your videos. we have the same sense of humor . Favorite part of this video is the "look- its kind of like a cancer spreading" I littrally laughed out loud lolddd. Fun content..
When you walked into the store and played that sound effect of people screaming....I had on ear buds with volume WAY up. Damn lady! I peed a little! 😳
The coin purse and the logo, I think you and your Mom are very much alike girl!! Hahahaha! My Mom was the same!
right?!?!?!?
Walmart was the downfall of mom & pop stores. On rare occasion I find something in Walmart made in America, I think I get warm & fuzzy inside! Pair of tights $20, the girl in China gets 10¢. Even if made here think they'd still be priced roughly the same. Cost of made in America just effects profits.✌
Wow! How cool! My Dad worked at Walmart, in his retirement days and was so proud of Sam Walton! Hahah, i have been to Walmart 3 times in my life_ Thatś what ya get when ya move away to a non walmart counrty. Have fun and be safe! yáll!
I hate Walmart but I shop there all the time, hahaha! Another great video from Wonder Hussy!
Greetings from Fordyce, AR where Walmart #339 is not much bigger than the two small dollar stores we have.. Hasn't change size since it opened when I was a kid, It managed to close everything else in town along with other things..
Thanks for that...I never would have guessed.
ha, the "wal mart spark" - thanks for that thought worm.
Hillary Clinton was a lawyer for Walmart when she worked for the Rose law firm. She was credited for the policy of having employees work less than 35 hours a week so Walmart did not need to provide medical benefits. She was always looking out for the people!
I remember when Wal-mart first started and they promised to only sell American made products. That didn't last long. Finding any American made products in Wal-mart now is difficult. Make China Great Again - support your local Wal-mart.
the other issue is that most of the manufacturing went somewhere else. I'm not supporting walmart but that's the truth we don't make much stuff here anymore...
It's hard to compete when consumers are happy in their wallets and in their morals to buy poorly manufactured products made with sub-par materials, by slave labor. Rather than buying a quality product produced by people being paid a union wage.
Duck Landers years ago Walmart closed a store in Canada to keep a Union out. Live Better Work Union.
All our production is in China.
American unions are just as culpable for driving jobs overseas. Concessions could have stopped manufacturing relocation.
HA. Now I’ll never see the Walmart logo the same way again!! 😂
Thanks---Loved it!
You have stepped in to the twilight zone zoned,hahaha
Hey new to you vlogs love them so cool to see I am from Scotland
I played with some of those toys many moons ago.
first time shopping at Wal-Mart was 1985 in Missouri. oh how far they've grown.
Pretty cool. Original WH. Wonder how many subscribers you had when this episode came out?
Welcome to the Ozarks! You're in my neck of the woods. There is an awesome art museum in Bentonville. The WalMart family has invested a lot of money in paintings and other works of art. It's called Crystal Bridges.
+Russell Cox I wanted to check that out, but not enough time. I will definitely be back to the beautiful Ozarks though!
Really interesting. Doubt I'll ever travel there and now I have no reason to. Thanks
That truck is totally you! (I'm a truck girl also. 👍🏻)
RENTON TEN WAS A GOOD SHOW.
Way cool, I didn't know they had a museum for WallyWorld.
"It's the Walmart spark, not a butthole!" .....hahahhahahahahahahaahhahhahaaahhha
way cool. We have a 5&10 up here in NY. I had no idea that's how WalMart got started. I now have a bit more respect for the store. Just a bit... ;)
It's good being an executive at Wal-Mart but, working during retail fucking sucks especially during the holiday season
like most similar stores, Walmart has many great items @ really cheap or affordable prices ...
but as someone who 'shops around' before paying for almost anything, i have seen just as many really worthless items in Walmart (or all other competition stores in any class or category, including the Dollar Tree or 99¢ Only etc) that are being sold @ ridiculously high prices!
so, the best thing to do would be: Shop Around and find the best price for your desired item before you pay!
it's relatively easy to do on the Internet these days so you won't have to drive around, wasting gas, mileage and priceless TIME above all!
_ _ _
btw, the 99¢ Only Store is no longer "Only" really since now it's selling many items as much higher prices because it has to compete with the new $1.50+ DAISU Japanese chain stores that also imports most of its item from China ... :)
DAISO is a great place to shop btw: super neat and duper clean!
and that's something i have barely seen in the messy 99¢ Only stores and others ...
DAISU also has many lovely little and useful items @ really good prices you don't see anywhere else btw ...
a folding reading glass that is sold for at least $20 elsewhere (and up to $130 in some specialty sellers online!) i managed to find in DAISU for only $1.50! amazing!
awesome ! 🎉
was that Sammy Hagar standing next to a Truck Driver in the Book ?
.... CHINA !
the truck outside is a replica, the one inside is the ral truck
Wonderhussy the very first walmart was going to be in a small town in Jackson County ARK. its name is Newport. the story goes that Sam wanted to open up his store but the guy who owned it would not let him have the building. that guy must have been a real genius. lol.
+lilorbie lilorbie and I'll bet he's pissed off now!!!
If Mr Sam could see his company now. I wonder what he would do to the people who are changing his beliefs and company standards for the public and associates
Had to do a thesis in College on Sam Walton. Interesting story.
The walmarts here always have a cop car parked out front arresting someone
RCDesertRat A shoplifter is a thief, pure and simple. And we pay the price because businesses charge a bit more to make up the losses due to theft. Why I hated the convenience stores: "As long as we get the beer back we won't press charges." Wakmart does press charges.
Walmart coin purses , slightly dirty, Yeah I kinda thought the same thing when my Sunday school teacher gave me one of those.
Great job on this video. Did you visit the Crystal Bridges Museum while you were there? Looks very cool.
Ireland refused to let Walmart open any stores there, guess why?
Ireland is sold out to Apple, giving them tax largesse to the tune of $15 billion. The EU had to take the case to court to make Apple pay their dues. So why not WalMart in Ireland, a semi-Third-World country, eager to get any big corporation set up business there?
In Walmart parlance, its employees are called "associates".
they're everywhere now, if your town doesn't have a WM, then it truly sucks to live there. :))
Oh Wonderhussy!
You think that's small you should try Albertsons tiny store in Emmett Idaho.
Were all the things for sale in the Walton museum Made in USA?
+aceyorba I would be surprised if they were five things in that entire Museum that were not made in China
Food sold in USA is generally is NOT made in China, due to lack of standards in China and transportation spoilage. Never buy or consume food in USA if made outside USA if you value your life and health. Mexico and Canada exceptions due to NAFTA imposed standards. This is where the US government protects citizens.
EYE CEE CHYNA AND SWEET SJ SO COOL THIS TOUR
to my understanding it started out a good thing but now all about the shair holders all i know is i miss made in USA
Welcome to my state Hussy! :-)
Hey, Donald, How do you know your town is in trouble?
Answer: When the biggest Employer is a Wal-Mart
And half the employees are on welfare.
Gary Roberton --to bad, that's free enterprise as apposed to communism
pat goff - then quit and work else where
Some of them don't have an education so they can't. I worked for the state and had two other part time jobs to support my daughter an I but I had a college degree
where else? who is hiring?
Thank you,SAD,,Most the stuff in museum was probably built in the USA,OH well 73s
you might say I am a stick in the mud but I stopped shopping at walmart
Attercop47 okay where is your families store located?? we will Shop there
@@jonmacdonald5345 Its called amazon!
Although I avoid WalMarts as much as possible, they have become an American institution and I would have enjoyed visiting this museum. So, thanks for your video.
that one trucker dude in the book looked like Sammy Hager?
Wonder Hussy what were you doing in Germany for 8 years ?
+R E my father was in the US Army, but my parents divorced as soon as we moved over there and my mom decided to stay on as a civilian... She married a German and we lived in a German neighborhood, although I only went to German kindergarten... American school after that
Wonder Hussy Oh ok I was in the Army there in 1971 and 1972 in Gelnhausen not far from Frankfurt.
Nice
Different intro ooh, get you lol
Old Roy, is not good dog food. Had to buy some ones, and my poor dogs were so sick. The stuff is nasty love your videos
Waltons was originally a dime store
I Love the way you narrate your videos. Please keep up the good work. How much of the "Nostalgic" toys were Made in CHINA? (That countries 5th largest trading partner is Wally World.) That's a Weird Place. Not a Butt Hole? HAHahaha....!
Walmart opens,little stores can’t compete so they close,minimum wage,no overtime and no medical insurance,what a great business,they should be praised.
That's one of the unfortunate side-effects of living in a free market, capitalist society. Big companies come along, small ones that can't compete die off.
Even your older videos are great, do I sound like a stalker? Oh no!
Mr. and Mrs. Walton were kind people. It was his children whom ruined small town businesses. I live in AR., and I avoid shopping at Walmart. They do not treat their employees right.
YES,OLD MEMORIES TIME STOPS FOR NO MAN,OILDALE WATTENBARGER LOOK ALTO LIKE THE SAME STORE FRONT.
I thought you didn't. like bras lol
I cut Walmart out a few years ago. Only go there when I have no other choice.
Moon Pies. I never really appreciated them until I was stationed in South Korea.
A moon pie and a RC COLA;All American.
Had drill SGT in basic train use favorite saying was you been drinking soda's , goobers and moon pies . Is that why your so outta shape . Was funny never even heard of them tell he said that . They are pretty darn good have ate Quite few after trying them Ha Ha Ha.
Wynne Walmart only allowed me to use one coupon one like coupon per transaction I quit using them if I wanted to buy two tide and used to separate coupons I had to stand in line twice
On my commute into work I pass a Walmart, now every time I see their sign I think of literal buttholes. Thanks Wander Hussy.
+Ryan Grissom :-D
It may not matter but to me Levon Helm wanted to take me somewhere and it was the new store in Bentonville Levon said it was something to witness the woman rushing the door and filling their baskets woman prior to Walmart had no place to shop Arkansas was very poor
Who else was 5-10 by the way Grandmother Was Patsy Walton
But M.E. Moses was 5-10
I avoid Walmart when I can, however in the past when I was poorer it was less easy.
Everything I wear, and everything I eat is from Walmart!
Thank you China, and thank you to the businessmen in America that sent all of the jobs overseas...
I was in a booby trap once, took me all night to get out, nice video wonder hussy
I love your Mom and her comments, BUT now I cannot look at the sign and not see it, but hole. Don't feel bad about the comments, the world is full of lovers and haters. Towns where I grew up were dead, When a Walmart opened up in one town local stores became more focused on service and niche sales and did very well for last 20-30 years. The malls in the large cities did damage to the small towns before walmart and many just could not survive. Malls are closing and walmarts are closing, now the "dollar" stores are popping up like acne on a teenager. The five and dimes where privately owned but bought from "chain suppliers".
please try mister walton favorite drink "chinese apple juice " very lucky
I LOVE THE ONE ONE BUYING,OIL CO.ARE SO RUDE GIVE ME YOUR MONEY, NEXT,WHAT ARE LADES GOING TO DO,THEY NEED A FULL TIME MECHANICANIC
I Dont Live Far From THERE!!!!!!
Comment at 5:20...Agree, truth for sure.
+J Vatell lol right?!
Correct! All I can say sometimes to myself is WOW! :-0
i thought the tornado got you
Our uk store Asda is owned by Walmart it's nothing like the store I feel mislead I was hoping for crazy stuff you can get at Walmart
I assume there won't be any UNION cards. On the Sam Walton was so dead against Unions. Man if one Walton s ran for President, they would dismantle the AFL-CIO. That way no industry would be able to Unionize. That would be a disaster
I pinched my pee pee in a walmart coin purse... but that was so two years ago..
only two years eh?
All jokes aside, I love love love your videos. Keep doing your thing.
ouch no likie.....
SAM WALTON,IF THE MOTOR WAS NEVER INVENTED BY SIR WATT.YOU CAN SHIP ON TRAIN,TRUCKS CARS.HA HA RICHARD WATTS
I would be fucked in BFE with no other option to go in one.
slinky dog was a booby trap
I want to be a soda jerk.
