I've only stepped in a Wal-Mart once, in high disdain and contempt.
Not because of their business practices, but that I'm better than anyone who would ever shop there. But it was late, I was in no man's land (back home) and if memory serves me correct we needed to find something to put barrels in.
To their credit, they have been getting better in regards to the treatment of their workers, and business practices. But I just don't shop there.
Yes, it was for barrels, which they didn't even have so we went old school and decided to bush tap them to say fuck the actual taps too while we were at it, haha.

A Wal-Mart truck driver, illegally running empty in Wyoming during a storm, ran my uncle and aunt off the road – killing my uncle. The fuck never even got out of the truck, and my aunt had to sit there and watch her husband die. So, yeah...I really hate that place.

pranking the stores only really hurts the already abused employees who work there and have to clean up after you. you won't find an exec who goes "aw man, the upperdecked us in springfield. we better change our ways."
also, once you have shopped at walmart, you can never be forgiven. sorry. the stench will forever taint you unless you return everything. I hope you saved the receipt or you will only get store credit and then what?
- it's walmart who pays those employees to clean up that mess instead of doing something elsea_iver
- but even though walmart's evil, i still think it's morally wronga_iver
- true, but what is worse, cleaning the crap or paying the min wage for the hour to have it done?cramdesign

I had a buddy from college who was in the boating industry..he came up with sort of boating widget or whatever it was back in the late 90's and signed some sort of exclusive vendor deal with Walmart. He thought he had made it. They ate him up and spit him out with insane demands on production and delivery, left him in debt and in the end they had the ownership of the widget, which they ended up discontinuing a year later anyway.

Ha! I remember when Walmart was built on a Hawaiian burial ground, despite all the protests. Walmart's response was something like "We at Walmart would like to say a big Aloha to cheaper prices in our new location.."

I think you are exagerating.
If you really really feel that bad about wallmart then you would go somewhere else. Usually people that complain about wallmart are inside the store picking bananas at midnight.- picking bananas ?
Racist.mikotondria3 - are you calling me racist cause of my skin color? shame on you NaziMeeklo
- picking bananas ?

I honestly think all our little daily furies and boycotts against some retail stores, petrol stations, a local coffee-house who sold you a not-so-perfect croquette and whatnot are pretty useless. Most stuff we're buying (at least in Europe) comes from the same outlets, so if you boycott this one you'll probably end up buying the same stuff from the same supplier anyway. You can boycott and ruin a particular store from malpractice but you cannot ruin their business. This said, I guess we are a bit lucky here down in pt, because we have nice retail-stores.

WalMart's t-shirt section is where novice threadless submissions go to die.
