It wouldn't matter to me at all how much those parasites spend on paintings, if the people who actually did the work that earned that $35 million, the walmart employees, were paid a decent wage! I avoid Wal-Mart if at all possible.

Wal-Mart will begin to pay a decent wage when individuals will stop working there and the taxpayers stop subsidizing the wages.

Just another reason why I don't shop at Walmart. Others are free to if that is their choice but I find their merchandise to be shoddy and their treatment of workers to be substandard.

I go into Walmart often, but only because my bank is there. I don't shop there at all. My meat-eating friends (I'm a vegetarian) said they would never buy meat there after they tried some of their beef. Walmart is a place where I think you'd want to stick to name brands.

Yes, Walmart's meat is N-A-S-T-Y. We don't buy much from there, and don't like their "Great Value" branded merchandise. My husband bought a bag of GV pinto beans, and they were the dirtiest beans I'd ever handled. I don't mean "dust" dirt, I mean I had to remove a large proportion of bad beans and rocks prior to cooking. By comparison, the place I usually buy grains and legumes (Sprouts) has comparable prices and the cleanest beans I've ever cooked.
