I am already switching to online buying.

That's okay, Wal*Mart is switching to online selling. An article in the WSJ showed that Wal*Mart's plans call for more 'productivity' per employee, and increased sales. If you do the math Wal*Mart intends to increase wages and decrease staff by 400,000 in the next five years. They will have fewer, but better paid employees. The question will be whether they will still serve the low income consumers ('market sector') who were Sam Walton's original target. Wal*Mart has increased the standard of living for millions of the poorest Americans, more than all of the self-serving union bosses and liberal arts faculties combined.

Yup...my libtard relatives who hate Wal-Mart, when they complain about them, I always point out Wal-Mart has saved Americans literally billions of dollars on food and consumer goods helping them financially...

" So you would prefer Americans be poorer because Wal-Mart isn't union run " ?

Shuts them up pretty quick...
