It's a rare person who has any business criticizing anyone for shopping at Walmart

It's not good to use the "pity the poor" card to excuse the action of Walmart. Nor do we need to stop eating chicken if we boycott Chick-Fil-A, or stop using certain toiletteries/using certain brands of towels and sheets/stop watching certain brands of TVs, etc. if we are supporting strikers against a certain hotel chain that uses those. What an absurd statement.

Walmart must go down. It abuses its workers and makes them poor. It feeds on the poor and their need to get the best deal for their money, regardless of the damage they are doing to themselves, their neighbors, and their community.

I live in a rural community of 2,400 with the next largest town 15 miles away with a population of 12,000, and we have other options than Walmart. My town's grocery store is horrible and exorbitantly priced, so everyone goes 15 miles to shop. We have 2 grocery stores that are as inexpensive as Walmart. We have 5 pharmacies that can give as good a price as Walmart within that 15 mile radius. One of the groceries is a superstore version that also has TVs, housewares, and such - also inexpensive. We have a mom & pop hardware/general goods store with prices on most goods comparable to Walmart, though the selection isn't as huge. People don't need a bigger selection of utter crap, anyway. Very few people have legitimate excuses to shop at Walmart.
