Bye Bye Wal-Mart

This morning I watched the documentary "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price" and decided I will no longer buy from Wal-Mart. Here are some facts. Here's the movie trailer:





I had to return a pair of pants for my mother, so I went there today and took this photo as I walked to my car. The mother in the picture had just slapped one of her sons a bunch of times; can't stand that.



I had known that Wal-Mart's business practices were bad but still, I was psyched when I realized that a Wal-Mart was finally open in my area (it's in Commack on Long Island, NY).

After watching the film, I could no longer wear the blindfold that allowed me to look past their practices; blinded by low prices.

Bye Bye Wal-Mart.


P.S. I really want to cut down and ideally eliminate buying stuff made in China. I hope it's feasible. The way they treat their factory workers is deplorable.
