Documentary on Wal-Mart just starting. Interesting that this is airing on Labor Day.

(7,429 posts)I never shop at WalMart, but this is another excuse for me not to shop there.
Look at what they do to these small towns. Heck we have 3 WalMarts in my little town. We don't need 3 of them. We barely need 1.
One of the worst parts of the documentary for me was the lack of security in the parking lots. Look at all of the people who have been robbed, assaulted or even killed in a WalMart parking lot. Disgusting.
The Anti-Union thugs are despicable. The stories of the workers in China are horrible to watch.
This is the price of low prices.
