I do NOT shop at Walmart. Even when I lived in California I did not shop at Walmart.
My reasons for avoiding Walmart is that they are huge enough to dictate prices. The problem with this is that it impacts the entire supply chain of the product you’re purchasing. I don’t think any corporation should have that much control in a supposedly free market. Walmart goes as far as threatening not to sell some products or punishing manufacturers by playing their products on a shelf no one looks at or can’t reach.
I have a hard time with the no Walmart shopping thing. If folks didn’t want to work there, they wouldn’t. Unless I guess it’s the only game in town, which may be the case in some middle America locations. But I need products for cheap. And they provide it. I would cartwheel with joy down Flatbush Ave if a Walmart opened here.

because you think poorly of me. i am actually quite civil in public.
Yes, I would for sure shop at a BK Walmart if it were close by. I’m a fan of the Atlantic Ctr Target.
Funny you should mention it Dave, put one on this morning!

The emails I get aren’t spam…it’s sent by friends. Some of whom I know do the research themselves on these things.
