Pea goes to Walmart for the first time! Is it a shopper's heaven, or consumer hell? All my life, I've heard about Walmart - some good, some bad, and some ugly! So what the truth, through the eyes of a Filipina? Pea goes to Walmart to find out ...

True I live in Davao City PH I can't believe how expensive laptops are In the Philippines compared to Walmart Target or BigBuy price's in the USA.. what gives??

[@TheFilipinaPea]

I think it’s import taxes 😢

[@fullmindstorm]

@@TheFilipinaPeaYep, the taxes on technology. It would be a good idea of putting an assembly business of electronics in the Philippines on those highly taxed products that way theres more jobs and cheaper electronics. There’s an idea for anyone wanting to start a business in the Philippines, import individual products and assemble there.

[@anneb3170]

We don’t have laptop anymore we use our IPhone for everything ordering and paying bills

[@juliusseizure3039]

Most of the cheap products are made cheaply also. They're likely manufactured by extremely poor people who work horrible hours and don't have any options once they get themselves into that situation. The Chinese communist party does horrible things to people, including the Philippines.

[@fullmindstorm]

@@juliusseizure3039 Well, maybe you should give some examples of what they manufacture in the Philippines that’s bad because knowing filipino people they are very talented. As an example my viper pst 2 from vortex 1-6 scope is made in the Philippines and its made like a tank, very well made and the electronics in it have never failed, not even the battery have I changed it in 3 years and many that compete use it widely because its great quality.

[@richard9827]

WalMart is a contributor to the demise not only of smaller stores and businesses but manufacturing. They brought in cheap products from China. On balance it was bad for America. Enjoy your stay in America. .

[@LivingTheLifeRetired]

You hit the nail on the head. If PH had a Walmart it would put everyone else out of business. That’s exactly what happened in America, all the small towns where Walmart came their mom and pop shops all closed down. People want to support small business but they prefer cheap prices and variety.

[@briane173]

Worst of all is, the products sold at Walmart are manufactured in what is essentially Pea's back yard. You'll be hard pressed to find any product at Walmart that was actually made in the U.S. -- I doubt even the sex toys were made here.

[@vlogcritter]

Well with the cost of things in this country, you have to have a trade-off, unfortunately, the mom& pops are affected. This country should do more to control inflation if the mopm&pops are to survive. I prefer the small stores too

[@russellwood8750]

As a western man, I will queue every single time instead of using a self checkout counter. And here’s my reasons for that . If you use the self check out system, you are doing someone else’s job and you’re doing it for free. The company saves on wages and someone is now unemployed. I will never use these systems. I walked into a store once, and all they had was self checkout and the girl says oh I can help you use it if you don’t know. I said I’m more than capable of using it, but I don’t shop at stores that don’t imply people to do the checkout. I left the trolly full of merchandise, and I walked out and never went back.

[@edwinholcombe2741]

I am so envious. It has been my dream during my 22 years in the Philippines to take my Filipino friends on a tour of the USA. One thing I often tell my friends back in the USA who have never travelled outside the USA, "You will never understand your own country unless you travel to a foreign nation."

[@mikeb8115]

So true. And if I am completely honest we americans take what we have for granted and don't fully appreciate what we have.

for truckers, driving is like walking, it is so natural because they are always doing it. you put on some music, or an audio book, and the next thing you know, you're hours down the road. it's easier for some people than others. I've done several 24 hour straight trips, but other people are tired after only an hour or two. It may have something to do with strain. if it's natural, it's not a strain.. if you have to focus, then 2 hours of focus is a lot! this is also true for reading or watching a screen, or tennis. some people can do these things for 2 hours without a problem, and for others it's a monumental task to do it for 2 hours. great content, welcome to the USA. :-)

[@TheFilipinaPea]

I think maybe I’ll go to a truck stop and interview the truckers, the backbone of America 👍😊

[@TimYong2]

That is one thing my wife noticed when she first got here, is how the streets are not crowded with people, and how everything is so quiet compared to the Philippines. Going on 2 years here now, she is finally starting to appreciate the quiet, the sounds of birds and nature. One thing she probably won't adapt to is winter. Snow was so nice to look at and experience. But the cold is something she cannot get accustomed to, nor driving in the snow!

[@dmcglone007]

I live in Upper Michigan and was hoping the NVC would get in touch before the snow flies, but it's been two months now since my USCIS approval and still no word! September is approaching. Might have to present her with a snowsuit, some chops, and a Yooper chook for when she gets off the plane! Chicken soup for dinner 🤣

[@romanthefaithful]

I love the snow. I love the cold (beats standing on a Manila street during the middle of a summer day). It's the ice (especially, black ice) I hate when I'm driving or walking on the sidewalk during winter.

You were right talking about how surprising it was to see "sugar free" stuff at Walmart and never seeing it in the Philippines. When I lived in Cebu, over 20 years ago, my ex-wife bought home a jar of peanut butter. When I ate it, I was stunned! I describe it simply, they took a kilo of peanuts, crushed them then, dumped 5 kilos of sugar in it! I told my ex how I now understand why diabetes is so high among Filipinos.

The local 99 Only store had 1 KG packages of Del Monte Filipino style spaghetti sauce. Why not give it a try? Everyone took one bite of it and could not handle the sweetness. And then I tried every chef trick I knew to reduce the sweetness like adding balsamic vinegar, adding sausages, and the like and nothing made it any better.

[@dwightrgibsonjr6355]

I’m glad you took notice of the quietness. You are welcomed, but the receipt guy felt the unction to talk to you, but normally people only ask personal questions when you think you found a potential acquaintance. I’m glad you notice the way of driving in America. Busy cities has more traffic, but still more orderly. Everything is Meta first in America, so it’s all about your mental, and who is the back of your eyes. One thing to know is, historical information and powerful information is what makes America strong. The truth of life is within America, the very answers are hidden here, it’s a matter of reaching them. The lies are what they make attractive (NASA). Anyways, I do want to accept your compliment though about the roads. Black Americans built everything you see in America. All of the infrastructure we built. All of the inventions are ours but stolen. Back to Cracker Barrel. The only woman you saw that helped you is the number one reason America is still running today. A little old Black Woman breeder. Our of her Pusey came the beautiful America built on slave labor, so you can overwork people. Other countries Al have connection so they wouldn’t slave themselves and endanger each other lives just to built an Eiffel Tower. So, they don’t say, but Black Americans (not Africans) make the enemy burn the hottest when someone tries to take the best of them. Like me, you should want to be with me and etc, but they will do and say anything to make sure you don’t, starting with doubt and distrust. Like I said it’s all mental (Meta) here, it’s in the atmosphere’s energy. I made a haven so you can dwell with a peaceful mind here, don’t let these people out-step you. Areas with Black Americans are the safest, it’s like me going to a Visayan area. How they treat depends on…Same difference. Being a tourist means you are espied, but if you decided to stay you would then feel what all Asians feel in America. Danger. Since Europe and China are next to you, they know already to be careful around you because I tell will get back. So you know your enemies real quick. I mean people that have Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs in their agenda. Like the receipt guy at Walmart. It’s best to meet me being a tourist, than green carded. It’s all about the grip for them. Why you think I never made it back, and I’m blacklisted. It’s just my dick between my legs that can birth more beautiful infrastructure builders or Only Fans workers. If I have children in another country the nation is blessed/increased. It only takes one. PS: if they can see you, you never see them. If you see them, they are the killers. Simple.

[@ronniesouthern7829]

Hello Pea. Glad you found your way around Walmart. They have almost everything you need under one roof (food, clothing, auto supplies, eye care, hair salon, etc). The older versions used to have an auto center where you could get the basic maintenance done such as oil changes and tires. Where we live we don’t have one in our town so we would have to travel about 20 miles to get to the nearest ones. We have a couple of local grocery stores so basically what money we would save at Walmart would wind up being spent on extra gas used. I think the reason Walmart gets looked at negatively sometimes is because where there is one, a lot of the local businesses couldn’t compete and wound up going out of business. It also had an indirect effect on national businesses such as K Mart and Sears. Enjoy your weekend and look forward to your next stop on the Pea Does America tour.

[@TheFilipinaPea]

Ohhhhhh, so that’s why people don’t like them!! 😳😳😳

[@christopherturco197]

@@TheFilipinaPea Local businesses that do survive are usually those that can outperform Walmart with their superior customer service and often have a devoted customer base. Owners and their staff tend to be more invested in the business than the average Walmart employee, who are not necessarily paid that well (minimum wage I suspect). When the Walmart super stores move into an area, they can end up monopolizing the job market, which means they can pay less than what workers had been making at the local businesses they used to work for. It's bad for the workers in that respect, thus lowering their earnings and their buying power, as well as creating near monopoly conditions in the business community.

Rhen withthis one, how things are so different between here and in the PI. I know the prices are higher there and the selections are far less,,,, since everything for the most part has to be shipped there. Love you!

It's awesome to see you sample our culture in the u.s. and then draw comparisons against what you're accustomed to in the Phils.

Consumerism is not a culture, but a lifestyle. Sexual Repression is a big part of USA "American" culture, thanks to WASP values.

As a truck driver who runs over the road (known as driving across the country).. I use a few methods to stay awake and alert. 1) I'll have a cup of coffee or tea. 2) Eat sunflower seeds. 3) Listen to music. 4) Making sure I get plenty of rest. Also.. knowing your body is key.. pay attention to how tired you really are and pull over to a safe place and get rest. Hope you had a great trip Pea!!!

[@henrymann8122]

3 decades ago, I used to drive 18 wheelers across the US. I chose to do most of my driving at night with less traffic in the bigger cities. So, I slept during the day time hours most of the time. Staying awake wasn't really an issue for me, Pea! But, coffee coffee coffee was/is key for me.

Cooking from scratch is so much healthier!! So many processed foods here that I've had to teach myself the art of cooking! I'm so glad I did. Feeding my family homemade meals is the best gift to them!! Don't ever get used to this convenience. Keep the cooking skills alive!

Pea, my filipina girlfriend and I have been following your USA adventures. I will be bringing her to Texas once we get her visa. I love it that you are describing perfectly all of the things I have been telling her about the USA. The food prices, the quiet, the organized traffic, the open roads, the space, sugar in all of the foods here in Philippines including spaghetti sauce! There is a lot of sugar in American foods also but I think worse in Philippines. I am glad you are enjoying your visit to the USA and Thank You for sharing all your knowledge and experiences with us.

There is sooooo much more sugar in foods here in the Philippines. Filipino spaghetti sauce could be a dessert topping. Many Filipino foods I like, but not the spaghetti sauce.

That is a total load of crap, I am here right now and that isnt anywhere near the majority of women, you people are truly trying to sell that dumb narrative hard; it is getting pathetic.

[@HermanWillems]

It's also that, when i was in USA north east. Restaurants all serve shit food, bad for your health. And too many fast food. And when you go into a supermarket, the choice for healthy food even though it's a big supermarket is very very slim. Or you have what we call in Europe. "Fake healthy food" like Diet coke, and stuff that looks healthy but is full of shit. Like sugar replacements. Also saw many fat people indeed. And it's so hard to find good quality restaurants, and if you found them they are CRAZY expensive. I even got sick several days from the food there. The problem with big supermarkets there, you have may options. But not the CORRECT ONES.

My Thai wife made a video of her first time in Walmart too. She was impressed. They have sprayers mounted by every toilet in Thailand so I have them in the US too. Much better than TP alone. I once heard that Philippine money was printed on presses made and owned by the US and that is why the bills are the same size.

A sprayer of some sort next to the toilet sounds like a good idea.... Ive never seen one here in the USA though... sure might alleviate the mindless toilet paper grab every time there's a burp in the economy

You hit the nail on the head at the end Ms Pea. The hate for Walmart mostly comes from their dominance in the market place destroying many many small businesses.

Walmart's took over a supermarket in the UK for a while. They were not nice to employees. Can't argue with the sheer choice they offer though. Street markets employ more people and are better for your local economy though. Like you said, people have to make their own minds up! 😊🙏🏻❤

About the coins you discussed, they are designed that way for a reason. sizes range due to helping the Blind count money by size and if you noticed the quarter has ridges along the side of the coin as does the dime, this helps the blind decern the difference between dime and penny as the quarter is to the nickel. The blind feels the coin in their hands and fingers to tell what is what.

[@Ryan_Christopher]

I wish the Philippine Central Bank took notes from the Fed when it comes to designing coins. PHP coinage has changed so much in the past 30-40 years that I have no choice but to look at their values. In America I can feel for my Quarter and Two Dimes in my pocket to add to the Dollar bill in my hand for bus fare.

[@gwapod9885]

In my opinion the Philippines beats the US when it comes the shopping malls. I love how organized the stores are in the Philippine shopping malls and there is always plenty of workers to help you find what you need. In the US I have to hunt for someone to help and many times can’t even find someone at the register to check me out.

[@papadean.]

They have plenty of workers because they exploit the labor market with their cheap wages and they have internships where they have to work for free for many months before they get paychecks! So always always be nice to those employees that are working for free sometimes.

[@jlawrence0181]

It is just amazing how businesses can staff an operation when the wage rate is US$200 per month rather than US$15/hr with 65% benefits as you have in most Walmarts.

The line we are fed re Australian prices for electronic goods is that we are a small market ;located a very long way from the manufacturers. Draw a line between Shenzhen, Seoul, Taipei or Shenzhen to Sydney or even Melbourne, then draw a line from any of those cities to the port of LA. Bizarrely, Australia is regularly listed as one of the more affordable markets for App[e products - anyone looking at the sticker prices would question that, but I guess it is what it is. I suspect that many Australians are more concerned with keeping a roof over their heads atm, and of course that is no different for a large percentage of Filipinos. Thanks for the video.

"If only we had one Wal Mart in the Philippines, it would put all of the other stores out of business." That is why a lot of people don't like Wal Mart. It tends to come into an area and put all other small businesses out of business. Most Ma and Pop stores cannot compete with Wal Mart's prices, and none can compete with it's selection. After Wal Mart enters an area, only specialty shops using a long tail strategy tend to survive (or those shops with a loyal customer base, and they are only biding time until that base dies out). The funny thing is that now online shopping and free delivery is starting to threaten the big-box stores like Wal Mart (although Wal Mart is trying to get into that area of retail as well). Cute end segment, Pea. Being color blind I really never noticed the dullness of our money (or noticed the vibrant colors of yours). Hope your visit is still going great!
