Well, it doesn't sound like there's a lot of foot stomping and "whoo-whoo-ing" going on at Wal-Mart this week!

I can't STAND Wal-Mart. I have only been in a Wal-Mart store a handful of times, but it has been years since I've been in one. I don't generally go in for the whole boycotting thing because I suspect boycotts usually don't make a big enough of a dent to send a strong message. That being said, Wal-Mart is the exception. If I had to go 30 miles out of my way to shop somewhere other than Wal-Mart I would. I hope they choke on their corporate policies.

The downside to this is that people may lose their jobs. As poorly as Wal-Mart pays and treats their employees, the people working there need their jobs. The satisfaction that comes from seeing Wal-Mart suffer pretty much evaporates knowing that people may be losing their jobs.
