Why not give their workers a raise with some of that money?
I don't know about the lower-48 States, but at the local Walmart employees earn more than a lot of other places. For example, one can start at $12.00 or more per hour at Walmart (Fairbanks), and less than $9.00 at Safeway. Not only that, but Safeway employees have to pay $41.00 per month on union fees once hired, regardless if the job is part-time or not.
First off, anyone with a name like "Childfree" is likely to have negative comments about kids anywhere. To the rest of you, wow, just wow!
First you don't know, if I have kids or not. It may be an old name.
Walmart is NOT daycare. Some parents take the leash off their children after entering Walmart. I'm not compare Walmart vs Target. I'll say, it's more then norm in Walmart.

You also said you never go to Walmart so you don't know what the norm is.
Yes, there are some misbehaving children in WM...but look around...there are misbehaving children EVERYWHERE. It's rare that I go into ANY store and there isn't at least one kid having a fit or on a tear somewhere in the store.

So families with bratty kids only shop at Walmart.
And,...by the way,...there is a "norm" regarding shopping in public?

Went did I say, I didn't go into WM??
I shop in different store. I never seen SO many children running around "unattended".
Whole Foods doesn't have anywhere near the BS with unruly kids as places like Big Box stores. I rarely see 350 pound people in Health food stores with kids running all over the place. Management will tell the parents to make their children behave. Do the Wal mart managers ever speak to the parents ? Do other shoppers speak up ? I have been applauded for speaking out..."please control your children" in regular grocery stores. I've reprimanded kids, and adults for sticking their grubby mitts into the bulk food bins at Smiths. If they tell me I'm crazy, I say "You wanna find out how crazy?" and they leave me alone...I'm harmless, but they don't need to know that. They call their brood back in.
Other shoppers do not need these renegades. We have a right to shop in peace without Tad hitting Susie in the arm, and rubbing their candy/greasy caked fingers all over the clothing racks as they play hide, and seek. I have seen parents shop, and they are OBLIVIOUS to the damage their children do. Next time you see such things, tell the manager. If there is a suggestion box, fill out a suggestion.

Sorry, I was confusing your posts with Peggy Anne's....who did say that she never goes to WM but is somehow an expert on the people who shop there.
Both of you seem to be hostile towards children, it's easy to confuse your posts.
And if you think the bratty kids are all in WM then you just aren't paying attention...they are in malls and restaurants and FF eateries and Target just as much as in WM. I think it's more noticeable at WM because it's a bigger store with more people in it at any one time. The odds of running into a bratty kid are higher because there are more kids there.
