For a long time I didn’t shop at Walmart due to the way it was reported that they treat their employees. Then I let my guard down and gradually started shopping there again. But it looks like it’s time for another boycott, even if I do only spend pennies on the dollar there. I like Obama. That’s who I plan to vote for. At this point, I don’t know of anything that would make me vote Republican.
And I read this article on Yahoo: “Wal-Mart Reportedly Urges Managers to Lobby Against Obama”
So while I hate for a bargain blog to get political, this is why you won’t be seeing any more Wal-Mart deals posted here for a while. At least not until after Obama wins, then I can go there and give them a big “nyah nyah.”
There is life without Wal-Mart. Walgreen’s has been showing much better prices on school supplies this summer. And Rubinstein’s will soon be kicking off their back-to-school sales, and wouldn’t you rather support the little local guy? We get all of our health and beauty items free at CVS, paying with ECBs, anyway. I won’t miss Wal-Mart.
One more reason to shop at Walgreen’s, if you need it–their philosophy on hiring disabled people. And check out this article from MSNBC.
I worked for WalMart for about 4 days, that was all I could take. I avoid that store if at all possible. What they do to employees, and suppliers is awful.
