The last time I was there was Labor Day weekend, for back-to-school shopping. My husband does more shopping there than I do, only because he passes it on his way home from work everyday and I really don't like shopping anywhere all that much :)
I never understood this weird need to be offended by company policies. Wal-Mart's board of directors could all be practicing satanists, for all I care.
I'm in complete agreement with you.
I guess I'm weird, I actually enjoy these threads and seeing so many people with their panties in a wad.
To me, american retail seems to have morphed into one gigantic store. All stores are more or less the same, these days.
I guess 50 years or so of highly organized research into how best to sell stuff to the American consumer has led to this.
I suppose small-store character has its charm, but who really needs charm when they're buying toilet paper?
On another note, I also like Starbucks and couldn't care less that it's run by a bunch of lefties.
