And your answer makes no sense.

Can't find any anti-Wal-Mart information sources that aren't union-funded or have a financial incentive to discredit Wal-Mart?

Well, neither can I.

Do as you please, you don't need to make excuses to me.

Interesting read. I didn't know that and I'll bet nobody else does either.

It certainly surprised me.

Whether this offsets Walmart's decimation of local retailers remains open to debate, of course....

Where's the excuse? Unable to deal with a challenge?

Facebook has some good anti - wal mart groups. a more relaxed atmosphere.

I'm anti-Costco myself.

What is Costco, anyway, but the Walmart of the Prius set?

I firmly believe that if Costco didn't exist, 75% of the conversational topics of yuppies would disappear. We'd have a quieter and less rabidly consumerist society.

Wal Mart and Whole Foods are two cats of the same breed. WF is not unionized (unlike the major grocery chains), and its owner recently came out against any kind of universal access for health care.

Quite different clientele, however. Who now have something in common.
