I used to shop Wal-Mart on an extremely frequently basis, but have decided to ultimately ban going there altogether. The more that I hear about their business practices and research it, the more that I just cannot support a company that makes such unethical choices. The way they treat their employees, both in the U.S. and abroad, is probably the main reason why I can no longer support it with a good conscience. I agree with the other reviewer that Wal-Mart's practices are so bad that the only explanation is that it is owned by the devil. (not really, but you know what I mean). I just don't see how a human being can do such blatantly unethical things and have no repercussions for it. There is no accountability here, and people flock to it by the millions, making for a PROFIT of $240 billion dollars a year, while the average employee makes $13,000 and has no health care (or has government health care). With profits like that, why should they change?
I just found this website after I originally wrote this review that you can go it If you would like to know more and find out what you can do to fight back. I can't post the website url on viewpoints, but it is called WalMart Watch, so if you do a search for that you should find it.
