I try not to buy anything from Walmart.
Isn't profit the main goal of any business? Walmart isn't the bad guy, just the smarter guy. I agree I was disappointed when the fabric was taken out of the stores but honestly I haven't been deprived of buying fabric just because Walmart doesn't sell it. I shop Walmart and will continue to shop there. I save money shopping there.
