Pees in the brown Koolaid
I haven't shopped at Walmart for years and won't. I don't go their not because they are non-Union but because they are Anti-Union; there is a difference. There are not many Union stores here but I go to the smaller locally owned stores as much as possible.
I recently went to my locally owned Ace hardware store to buy a wheelbarrow.
Walmart had the same exact wheelbarrow for $15 cheaper, which isnt small change. But I went ahead and spent the extra money and gave my business to the local Ace store.
It was really a no-brainer. The Ace store has sponsored my sons Little League team in years past, and the owner also supports local charities and school fund raisers. The money that I spend there stays in my community and in the case of my sons Little League team it quite literally goes back into my pocket, since without a sponsor we parents would be paying for uniforms on our own.
Walmart doesnt do a damn thing for the communities that it infests, other than to siphon money straight back to Arkansas and from there to China. It gives nothing back. And thats why I dont shop there.
