Yep. The media are helping with a campaign to try to drive Walmart out of business, because it's competitive. The truth is that it is one of the few retail companies whose officers continue to refuse to keystone (mainstreet lingo for 100% markups) its merchandise. The founder built it that way, and his competitors have hated it ever since.

I worked for Sears as a supervisor through a contractor for awhile. Its administration is terribly anti-family and anti-hetero. There aren't many servicemen who work for Sears, because Sears store manager hags hate straight men IMO. They do hire a lot of Aunt Nancies, though.

Your story dovetails somewhat w/ my recent experience. Had a Sears serviceman out (from Wausau) & he told us that he's making service calls all the way down to Madison--that's a 280 mile round trip in a relatively heavily populated region--i.e., we're not talking about the Texas panhandle or eastern Montana in terms of population density.
