Does Wal-Mart suck?

Yup, Wal Mart is just plain EVIL

Wal-Mart has set a trap for us by pitting consumers against workers with the myth that living wages are incompatible with affordable goods. The truth is, in the long run, poverty wages undermine the health of our workers, our families, our communities and, ultimately, our economy.

And it really doesn't have to be this way. I understand how convenient it is to shop at Wal-Mart. I do it myself. But the truth is that the convenience and economic advantages of shopping there do not have to come at the expense of the dignity and livelihood of working people. Wal-Mart simply chooses to do it this way. Until people are willing to bring pressure on them to do otherwise, they will undoubtedly continue to implement this strategy.
