Yet another reason to NOT shop at Wal-mart

Actually... Target is better. MUCH better to their employee's, and they don't teach their employee's how to get public assistance because they are paid so little. Not saying that Target doesn't do things to cut cost (such as out source things to India, such as not properly secure their store wireless/terminals), but they are at very least the lessor of 2 evils. Also, in general their stuff is much higher quality.

Also, this had at least main corporate oversight and wasn't simply an over zealous low end lawyer.

If you want to shop at Wal-mart, do... you don't have to try and defend yourself for doing so. Just walk into the store with eyes open, knowing what their corporate policies are, and what the quality of the products are.

Yeah - I don't think things get to the Supreme Court without someone higher up getting involved...

So, we're off to Target... Laughing

I guess the negative press got to them:

If they'd just done the right thing in the beginning....

I'm about as anti-walmart (or anything else like it, but mainly wal-mart) as it gets. I never shop there and I hiss and start burning when I have to go there with a friend.

Seriously though, my hatred for wal-mart was reignited after I watched the "Wal-Mart: High Cost of Low Prices" documentary (of sorts).

I mainly shop at Wal-Mart because I pretty much have to, that is unless I want to drive a extra 20-30 miles just to go pick something up at Target or somewhere else.

In one direction or another from where I live, there there are only Wal-Marts, none of the other discount chains think that the folks out here are worth putting in a store out in our area (and they have been asked).

So the others can go pound sand for all I care, I'm not spending a extra $20 on gas just to shop at a place that doesn't think we're good enough to have a store in our area when Wal-Mart has 2.
