Wal-mart is a giant crock of shit. We've been fighting them in my area for years. Theres already 3 or so in a 15 minute radius and they are trying to put 2 more in to push out all the little guys. I wish all you self proclaimed wally world shoppers would support real people(edit: didn't sound right after i reread this sentence, but tough cookies you know what i mean ), not some ceo that hasn't done anything usefull his whole life except collect his 9mil a year...
Not to say I've never been to walmart, but I avoid it all costs, I buy my groceries from the family owned grocery store in my town, auto parts from an old man owned napa store, hvac from a retired marine, i try my best but when most americans feel that wally world is the greatest thing since sliced bread, i'm fighting a losing battle.
and it's not just walmart, i walked in a protest in gettysburg, pa, they are fighting to put a casino and waterpark dead smack on a small plot of battlefield that the local citizens history group can't afford to buy from some rich P.O.S., he'd rather sell it for a measly 20mil instead of the 7mil the historical society offered, to some casino tycoon, i think that guy and his many millions can afford to kick back a little to the country that made him rich...greed..
my point of view: when your company has to pay people to say hello, i don't want to go to your store.
