Check out some of the anti-Walmart documentaries if you haven't already. I forget the exact title, but the one I'm thinking of dates back to 2005. But for a hard-to-find vacuum filter, I haven't bought anything at Walmart for probably a decade. I'm not a big shopper, but it's amazing how much more pleasant BB&B employees are -- the one near me has had some of the same employees for years. Same with my local Ace hardware. I think that's a wingnut company, but it pays a decent wage, and the stores are clean and organized and the employees knowledgeable. Kroger is union and while the store close to me is a dump, I tend to buy the basics there.
It just makes me sick that in "the greatest nation on earth," God knows how many millions are trying to survive on $8-$10/hour.
