My wife and I go to Costco once a month for bulk items, and the rest of our groceries are bought from a local Fred Meyer (also known as Kroger's in other parts of the country.) Fred Meyer is union. Costco isnt, but their wages and benefits are among the bast in the industry. I know people who work there, and they are happy.
We do almost all of our Xmas shopping at small, locally owned shops. I buy all of my tools and garden supplies at a locally owned, family-run hardware store.
Neither my wife or I have been to a shopping mall in years.
I will confess that I did spend money at a Mall Wart last year, during the post-Obama ammunition shortage. There was no .22 or 9MM ammo to be had anywhere else, so as a last resort I went there because they had it in stock. I bought my ammo, came home, and immediately took a shower to wash the Mall Wart cooties off of my body.
