I sooooo agree - I boycotted lettuce more than 40 years ago, and I boycott WalMart now - having seen what has happened to the small towns after WalMart came in, put all the local mom&pops out of business, then raised their prices - also, my daughter worked for them for a while, but when she was told one too many times that she was to clock out so she wouldn't have enough hours to qualify for benefits, then go back to work for nothing ... sorry, too many bad practices, too much basic greed on the part of the owners/management - if it's between going to WalMart or doing without, I'll do without, thank you. My conscience wouldn't let me even darken their door.
