TSR6 - Personally , I think you're full of something . I have a cousin who has been working for Walmart for years and loves her job . If you don't like WalMart , don't shop there . Don't eat fruits and vegetables from grocery stores as underpaid workers pick them . Don't forget to Boycott the farmers too !
I do shop at Walmart, but I do try to avoid it. I shop at my local grocery store instead when at all possible. It's a Kroger owned store now since It was having trouble floating on it's own.

Shut up!
I’m quite content not shutting up. J

Steve you are 100% correct.
Walmart low balls manufacturers and deals in volume. By supporting Walmart you are only supporting Walmart not the manufacturers involved.
Yes Walmart has fantastic prices but they are killing Americans in business.
Thank You! That also supports the link in my original post about Rubbermaid being low balled into bankruptcy.

Wal-Mart is very good. If you look at where the majority of their stores are located in the US, you will realize they are in the poorer towns and areas. This creates jobs and helps that areas economy. And Wal-Mart does pay higher wages, for the most part, that other stores and businesses around them.
Yep, Most of them. The one in my town however is being built in the middle of a upper-middle class suburban town. They re-zoned some of the residential land behind Wal-Mart to allow smaller lot sizes, so that the land there would be more attractive to lower income families.
