Just further proof that Wal-Mart blows.
If they would cease screwing their employees, they wouldn't need to fear a union, because the employees wouldn't want/need one.

Yep. And hog lots are absolutely disgusting and borderline inhumane, but God forbid pork costs $10/lb, right?

Clay Aiken is gay. (I wasn't sure if you were agreeing w/ me or disagreeing so I said something random.)

Neither, really - the whole thing seems very American (in both a good and a bad way, honestly) to me, to the point of inevitability. Kind of like hog lots, illegal alien labor, pharmaceutical recalls, patent infringement, outsourcing, etc.

I hate Wal-Mart. The only time I would shop at Wal-Mart is for electronics.

I stopped going to Walmart because I thought the people there looked kind of trashy, but the article is even more of a reason why I won't shop there. I always knew something was strange about that company and those people.
ETA: I also heard that they're not very nice to their employees either.

You mean trashy like judging people who work at/shop at Walmart based on their appearance?

No, I'm not judging them, it's just that I don't like being around that type of crowd. That's all.

Oh, I completely understand. You're not judging them, you've just formed an opinion on them and are making assumptions based on that prior opinion.
That's not judging at all....

KSigkid, if I don't care to be around certain people, how is that judging them? I just don't like some of the things that I've seen. Having a cashier touch my produce with black stuff underneath his fingernails is gross to me. I'm sure there are certain people that you wouldn't want to be around either.

At least have the courage to admit you're being judgmental when you are! I'll give my own perspective for example:
I personally don't shop at Wal-Mart, partially because I don't care for the quality and manufacturing of their products, partially because I dislike the corporate policies, and partially because I am a snob and don't like the crowd. I'm not a bargain shopper, I don't have kids, I usually dress up a bit to go to the store. I am turning my nose up at the shoppers and I know it. I am ok with that. Yes, I am definitely being judgmental about the other shoppers. It simply makes me happier to spend my money elsewhere, both because I like the stuff I get better, and because I like being in the presence my shopping peers better.
