We've boycotted Wal-Mart for years. Cheap prices at what cost? You'll be singing a different tune when the mom and pop shop they put out of business is your mom and pop.
The mom & pop shops were selling a 12-pack of Coke for $6.00 when I moved here in 1991. Factoring in just a minimal 4% annual inflation the adjusted price would be $9.76 at Mom & Pop now! You can buy the same 12-pack for $3.50 at the stores now. Mom & Pop screwed us for a long time so screw them! It's a free enterprise, the business is either competitive or go out of business. Oh! Yes, these are the Mom & Pop operations that hire only part time workers for minimum wage so they won't have to pay benefits either.
