15 years ago @ Ms. Single Mama - The "wrong" Wal-Mart · 1 reply · +1 points

I'm not sure there is a "right" Wal-mart. Check out the New York times memo on how they want "thin, young" employees. My mother-in-law worked for them. When she came down with neuroendocrine cancer and my husband was paying her premiums, they told her chemotherapy was an accepted treatment for cancer. Chemo. Hmmmm. She died shortly thereafter.

The biggest shame about Wal-mart is that they are not really cheaper. Their prices are pretty equal to other markets and they buy older food. Once I almost got parsley there, but it was so limp, it needed Viagra. It was the same price at the union supermarket across the street, yet it had no impotency disorder.

The people who shop at Wal-mart and similar places are target because of their poverty or lack of access to education and opportunity. This needs to end. There's no reason for it. Yes, you were in the wrong Wal-Mart and you did the right thing in telling someone where you were.

It is helpful however, to consider the roots of how it became the "wrong" place to be. It's not the shoppers....

BTW, I found you via Seth Simond's "The Dating Paper's." He recommended your site to one of his readers.
