I hate WalMart. You can go there at 2am and find empty beer containers littering the parking lot along with used diapers, McDonald's wrappers, masses of shopping carts and bird shit. I think I saw a woman shooting up in a car. Buying anything at WalMart makes me feel evil.

Slept way too late today, and so nothing is done. I am this close to hiring a maid to come in here and clean the entire apartment.

Evil Walmart

The Walmart phenom is sad to me. I saw a new commercial last night with lots of black people touting how much Walmart cares about their community, and has revitalized it. The saddest part, to me, is that the people who can make the choice whether or not to patronize them are not the people that require its existence. It's pretty easy to boycott Walmart if you can afford to spend the extra dough somewhere else.
Also, they are the world's largest retail employer and they've so far managed to keep their employees from unionizing. Their PR guy says that "the Walmart way is better". Yeah, hiring people part-time at shitty wages so they're ineligible for benefits is better for you.

Anyway, there's my Walmart rant. If you had any question about my political leanings, it should be answered by now :)

Oh, and, I still shop there occasionally.

I have gone to WalMart a couple times in the past year, mostly because I'm in need of something at 4am and nothing else is open. (Or it's something I can't find at HEB)

As a business, they are quite frightening.
