And still shop there. I'm guilty of that as well. I live in a small town where Wal-Mart is the only affordable option for many things and the only source for many things (like small appliances and adult clothing that is not designer sports gear). I also am low income and depend on WM's low prescription prices. Without them, I don't know what I would do. We really need some government health care and prescription price controls so many of us are not dependent on mega corps like Wal-Mart that are bad for the local economy.
