Why is Wal-Mart the whipping boy? Do any of the other Big Box retailers have a unionized work force? Costco, Target, BJ's, Home Depot, Lowe's, Best Buy, Circuit City, Staples, Office Depot, Bed Bath and Beyond, Linens n Things, any of the regional ones?
How about McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's?
One of the most fascinating things I've learned in a long time is that China has Wal-Mart and Wal-Mart stores in China are extremely popular. My dad goes to China a lot, he's dating a Chinese woman he "met" on the Internet.
I don't actually go to Wal-Mart much, myself. Target is closer, and has the same stuff but better quality. Home Depot has better hardware. And Costco and Sam's have better prices. |
