No Thanks. I hate the unions but that doesn't make the cheap Chinese made junk on Wal-Mart's shelves any more desirable.

I say let their employees walk out. Who's going to notice? It's not like any of them actually help customers anyway.

I don't understand why people single out Wal Mart. Other stores sell slightly to much more expensive Chinese junk. Go to Nordstrom's sometime and check out its stuff. The difference between Walmart and most of these other companies is that when the stuff is equivalent, Walmart generally charges the lowest price, wherever the product is made, thanks to its industry-leading back office computer systems and its spartan buying practices (meaning its buyers aren't even allowed to accept a cup of coffee from the vendors).

Some years ago, a friend and I, on a road trip, got really lost. The person who finally helped us was a Walmart greeter.

At the Walmart where I shop, everytime I’ve needed assistence they’ve been very helpful, even walking with me to an item I asked about on the other side of the store.
