As if I need another reason to avoid shopping at Wal-Mart.

For the sake of full disclosure I have been a Wal-Mart shopper in the recent past, but have gone cold turkey in the last year. I just cannot rationalize those great savings with Wal-Mart's anti-union mindset, and penchant for selling goods made by poverty stricken workers in Bangladesh.

Besides I once had a lady who worked there go into a long spiel about how they had to take an entire class instructing them NOT to stare directly into the scanners that read the barcode on the merchandise. An entire class, I kid you not.

Perhaps I am an elitist but there always seemed to be a little something "off" about the people shopping at Wal-Mart. And watching how the average Wal-Mart shopper deals with their children has driven me from the store on more than one occasion.

Yeah I have to say I have not once missed shopping there since I decided to boycott them.
