I love Wal-Mart because they do what all business should--offer good quality products at a competitive price.

This really is the only reason Wal-Mart is successful. They give the buying public what they want.

Actually, my bias is for Wal-Mart. There are enough alternatives to Wal-Mart that those who choose to work or shop elsewhere can.

And if I could offer you plastic dining chairs and tiki torches for prices 20% lower than even WalMart could match, and I accomplished this stunning feat by using backyard prison (slave) labor, would you still shop at my boutique and tell all your friends about my spectacular bargains? If I stole my neighbors television, and offered to sell it to you at 50% off, would you still not care where I got it from. You either do or you don't, situational ignorance of production methods is a weak excuse.
What the buying public wants, really wants, is to never have to work, to have unprotected sex, to eat fine food and drink fine wine, to travel to the stars and explore the higher consciousness of the human mind. Cheap products and giant stores, staffed by sullen retirees and pimple faced kids, those are necessary evils endured by a population long accustomed to eating whatever is fed to them..IMO.

If the person is really willing to go through with it, the PR alone could lose WalMart billions of dollars. Imagine all the boycots that could result?
The workers at walmart must be insane to not attempt to organize and unionize. If they can't work collectively to get this, then they don't deserve it. If this guy's attempts don't work, they really need to organize themselves underground and initiate slow-downs and strikes.
