    Quality good made by Americans who are paid a decent, living wage. Most especially goods made by GASP! UNION workers!

    Fresh meat that is not prepackaged, due to the fact that their meat-cutters went union on them and they completely eliminated their fresh meat departments and went prepackaged so as to not have to acknowledge them and have an excuse to fire them.

    They don't sell you the truth about their dealings with secret Chinese sweat shops employing slave labor and the fact that they refuse to disclose the location of their Chinese factories to agencies that monitor and check those factories to assure that they operate under decent and globally acceptable humane conditions.

    They don't sell news of their own convictions for violating child labor laws here in the U.S., nor their policy of actually LOCKING employees in their stores till work is completed.

    The don't sell the fact that their employees are expected to work overtime, without compensation, else they risk losing their jobs.

    They don't sell their policy of unfair pay and promotion policies toward women employees, or their dismal benefit programs and pay scale.

    They don't sell their subversive tactics to undermine any and all attempts at unionization or their 'secret gang meetings' aimed to attack employees who would try try to unionize.

    They don't sell their policy of moving into small towns and lowering their prices until they have put every small business OUT of business, then raising their prices. In those cases, they become nearly the only place to work and they can pay $8 an hour salaries to those that have no other choice.

    What Walmart DOES sell is the future basic pay scale for American workers, since they are the LARGEST employer in the U.S.

    They have SOLD OUT America and the American worker. Every time we buy from them we compound the misery of our own American workers and those abroad.

    • <applause> I couldn't agree more. Wal-mart, as far as I am concerned is the devil.

    • Yeah. I did an entire research paper on them a few years back in college. I think it was supposed to be something like 10 pages and I had to MAKE myself stop at 12-13. I knew they were evil incarnate, but the more I dug, the more dirt I turned up. Thanks! :) Wasn't looking for points, just an opinion.

    • Well it's a great answer. I avoid them if at all possible. Unfortuneatly, I live in one of those small towns where they ousted nearly everyone else. But I do my very best to not shop there.

    • Me too, Idne, but I have to confess that I also occasionally shop there, when all else fails. We are human!

    • Well they make is so that competition can't survive so you can't find the stuff you need because all the places that carried it have gone out of business.

    • It certainly seems that way. :( Now all we have access to is junk. It's so hard to find anything of quality anymore because Wal-Mart has cheapened us. It's disgusting.
