As justifiably upset as we are, I'm not sure we should go as far as trying to organize a boycott.
1. Are there really enough of us that WalMart would notice the loss of our business?
2. Would we be asking people to drive farther and spend more than they could afford to support us? Remember - WalMart may have turned into a heartless corporate giant but they may also still be the best alternative for thousands in small towns and relatively remote areas. I'm not sure I could afford to always spend 20-100% more for my groceries. Wouldn't want to ask anybody else to make a sacrifice I can't make by their side.
3. Not only is WM not a charity, they're no longer a family company. The Waltons sold out last year to another company.
4. In addition to letters, emails and petitions, the best thing we can do is to continue supporting the WM fabric departments still out there. Show them it'll make money for them. Corporate reality #1: Spreading the Green works better than Seeing Red.
Just my [usual] oversized bag of 2-cent pieces.
