Good for you! I just find it laughable that others can't boycott Walmart and leave it at that. Uneducated histrionics always make me chuckle, especially when people don't realize that it's free enterprise and capitalism that they're really against, rather than Wal-mart. I have no particular affection for Wal-mart, but i am a fan of low-prices and (more so) convenience.

No one makes anyone work or shop there; it's all about the choices people make to do so. Reminds me of when I worked as a dishwasher at a restaurant. It sucked for the 11 days I worked there. I chose to move on to jobs that paid better and didn't suck as much or in the same way. Did I need more education or training? Yes. Did I figure out ways to get and pay for it myself? Yes. Am I in any way special or gifted? Lol, yeah, right.

So, no, I don't have a lot of sympathy for the folks in the blue vests. Life is tough...be tougher! Shop at wherever you need to in order to get by. Do what it takes to thrive, or enjoy the alternatives you suffer by default.
