Please check out this site: http://walmartwatch.com/ Click on "Issues" on the top bar. It brings up all the issues concerning Sprawlmart. They include Discrimination against the disabled, minority workers, and women (the latter being the largest class action lawsuit in US history). Other issues are health care, union busting, the environment (don't believe the lies people), political influence and taxes (did you know the CEO, Steve Walton is a personal close friend of George W. Bush?), community impact (putting small business out of business), Corporate culture, and finally, the Supply Chain (where sweatshops and places like Sai Pan come into play). And for the past decade or so, Walmart and other corporations have had factories in Sai Pan that basically uses indentured servants (slaves), that are women from Asian countries, to work their factories, and there are horrors like forced abortions, terrible living conditions, and more. I am tired of hearing people and reading posts from people about how they have to shop at Walmart because they are too poor. Shop at thrift stores. Shop at small businesses. Shop your local farmer's market. Make things when you can. People need to stop shopping at Walmart. Now. It is disgusting. It is the worst thing that you can do for your environment, your community, and your family. And everyone's future.
there are lots of people that cant buy in small businesses because of the same thing, i totaly agree with you because theyre gettin bigger and bigger, theyre everywhere they destroy a lot of small businesses, here in mexico its horrible they destroy the little supermarkets and small stores, nobody likes wal mart, people that say that they can only buy at walmart its because theyre used to it
