There are a wide array of reasons I choose not to shop at Wal-Mart if at all possible. Many of them are articulated
here. Badly treated employees, sexual harassment and discrimination, bad business for communities, generally dishonest and deceptive marketing and behavior, and to top all of that, generally higher prices!
There are times when I have to shop at Wal-Mart. These are times when I am with my parents, and they choose to. My mother has been very ill and mobility impaired for seven years, and she can usually only manage to make it to one store. This is the store that is available. I am never pleased to be there, and I don't usually buy anything myself, but in that case, I do go.
