On the other hand, as I said, I have to get on the bus and haul everything I buy home in a big duffel bag, so it's no longer worth it when I have a store I can walk to. Once in a blue moon I make the trip to stock up on cheap staples. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) these days I buy pretty much everything except food and clothes online.

Most the other supermarkets pay health benefits to both full time and part time help, whereas... Wal Mart makes them pay themselves, most the time it is more than they make.
So next time you buy that can of chili, just know the guy who put it up there was able to afford his kids tonsilectomy or dentistry. (not your fault for wanting a bargain, it's a broken system)
It all goes back to corporate greed (insurance companies especially in this case) , which according to alot in this thread, "is good"
(So trash the working man, far righties, go on...Your blame the victim thing is working, like the marine who got shot in the head with a tear gas canister in Oakland, being blamed by the police chief)
