12. It is easy to condemn those who shop at Wally World
Edited on Fri Oct-21-05 11:27 AM by Coyote_Bandit
Of course, most of the folks I see doing that are affluent enough to be able to go shop elsewhere.

I absolutely agree that Wal-Mart is predatory, treats it workers poorly and undermines community economies. And that is just a short list of very valid grievances against the monster.

As a fully employed fully self-supporting professional person I never darkened their doors. But as a long term (approaching three years) unemployed single person I find my way there from time to time to shop. I must weigh the loss of money out of my own pocket against the cost to society at large. It is quite obvious that society doesn't give a flip about me or my well being.

I will leave the ranks of Wally World shoppers when I again become a fully self-supporting person. Anybody that doesn't like that can give me a job.

Edit for spelling....
