WalMart is an evil corporation. And much like Roger Ebert, I refuse to shop or even step foot in their superstores.

No offense, but who thinks of a wal-mart employee when shopping at walmart?!? Ebert is totally off here. I make 10 bucks an hour at a retail job and I'm certain that no customers think of me when shopping, nor should they.

Ebert's reasons for not shopping at wal-mart are bullshit. I have no problem shopping at wal-mart. If it's really that bad of a job then do what I would do if I hate my job. Get another one. Plenty of stores similar to Wal-Mart near me. Target, Wegman's, which is actually been said to be a place that treats it's employees very well. I shop there too.

Sure, though he missed one main point, as a purchaser/buyer, Walmart uses its influence to essentially hardball them for lower prices, and supplying for a competitor will make them feel the wrath.

Much like the Railways doing that. In other words, its not real 'free' market. McDonald's does not have enough power in the industry nor did it use the practice of blackmailing its distributors, suppliers, etc.

FUCK Wal Mart!

[MishuTaste]

Ebert's argument about Wal-Mart employees can be said about McDonalds' employees, & farm workers, & anyone else who makes less than $20,000 a year. Corporate greed is something that goes beyond Wal-Mart.

I don't like Wal-Mart that much, but my mom shops there for grocery most of the time. I'd rather shop at Publix.

[haleyymarie]

yes Ebert! i HATE walmart too!

I would not say always, but a good many a time. THe only time I can think up of that he did not make a good point was when he done his review of the film GOJIRA (a.k.a. Godzilla 1954). I think he did not really understand that film, or kept on getting it confused with the american 1998 remake.

Roger Ebert makes a good point as always.
