Their most notable effort was to release, on the same day as the release of The High Cost of Low Price, a DVD film defending its practices entitled Why Wal-Mart Works; and Why That Drives Some People C-R-A-Z-Y. Ironically, director Ron Galloway would later turn against the company, stating in the April 2007 issue of The New Yorker, "They just instituted a wage cap for long-term employees—people making between thirteen and eighteen dollars an hour. It’s a form of accelerated attrition. They can’t expect me to defend that."[1]
This wording suggests that Why Wal-Mart Works was produced by Wal-Mart PR staff, but that documentary's page suggests that Wal-Mart's support was tacit at best and late it coming. Additionally, the second part of the above quote seems there only to highlight the bias. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.16.250.139 (talk) 15:41, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think that episode 2 of the fifth season of Penn and Teller: Bullshit!, should be added to the reception list since they not only ridicule anti-Walmart histeria but this film in particular as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.170.148.226 (talk) 01:50, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wal-Mart did indeed come out with their own (shitty) film response. Nobody saw it. --98.246.156.76 (talk) 04:52, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
