No it’s not

DP. Yes, it is. Everyone should cares about American wages and corporate greed and rural communities and reducing reliance on federal programs, should have stopped stop there decades ago. They are evil #1.

The evil oligarchs are living rent free in your mind. I bet cadet bonespur is in there too.

Go read up on the history of Walmart from the start. They purposely lowered prices at new stores in rural/less populated area until they ran all the local/smaller stores out of business. Then they raised prices. They have long refused to give people enough hours so that many employees are only PT/not eligible for benefits, despite the employees wanting to work more and wanting to get benefits.

Go ahead, read about the last 60 years of Walmart. If you have no issues with it, then shop there, or if it's the only thing nearby then shop there. But otherwise there are many smarter choices and have been for over half a century

I know several people who work/worked for Walmart and know a lot now as we use their direct delivery and they are happy with the pay and benefits and hours. You use others as talking points but people rely on these jobs.

Obviously people rely on these jobs. And I wish Walmart (and others) treated their employees better overall (great that your friends are treated well, but that's not been the case for many stores over the years). Also, I choose target over Walmart simply because the stores are much more organized and cleaner. When I used to venture into Walmart, every one was a disaster, aisles littered with stuff, and staff was not very helpful. Target's around me have always been much nicer stores in general and on a $100 bill you might pay $105 at target vs Walmart, and that's a price I'm wiling to pay for the better service/cleanliness

The price differences are mare than $5 and Walmart is much better with shipping and delivery.

I bet you're fun to party with

So being educated and aware of business practices of major companies make one boring?
I prefer my friends to be educated and aware of the world rather than just drunks who know nothing

People who are content and enjoy life aren't worrying about this nonsense. Education has nothing to do with it. Maybe take up a hobby or reducing screen time will probably help.

I made the transition from Walmart 25+ years ago. Very happy with life, but I'm capable of using my purchasing powers to spend on businesses that treat their employees better. Sorry you don't include being a nice person/empathy for others as part of your daily life.

You can be content and enjoy life and still strive to do what you can to correct the injustices of the world.

Walmart shareholder lecturing consumers for not being nice because they shop at Wally World lmao

There are people happy and unhappy at any job. Be real.

Okay, Daisy Buchanan. If you’re so carefree why are you on this thread arguing about how other people spend or don’t spend their own money?

It’s not nonsense, and it works and it’s why you’re trolling here. The bus boycotts are why people with dark skin don’t have to sit in the back of the bus. But you do you, and go live your life and shop wherever you’d like.

+1000 This is how change happens in this world and has been for decades

And we have every right to roll our eyes and slow clap. What's virtuous to you is silliness to others.

Go find your white robe

Lol. DP. I LOVE that your side’s go-to comeback is still calling people Klan members, especially on a thread *ABOUT WHERE TO BUY TOILET PAPER.*

I foresee lots of winning for us and lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth for you.

The Market disagrees and it’s why you do care enough to post. You’re sweating bullets.

Look at me! Look at me! I have a few anecdotes, so screw your data.

People have scarcity mindsets and low expectations—that’s why we’re here.

Look at PP saying “you’re fun at parties,” as that’s all that matters. You can be fun AND have principles. They’re not incongruous.

- Local grocery store
- Local drugstore
- Local hardware store
- Chain beauty retailer
- Online directly from brand

I gave in and bought my family's preferred laundry detergent from Target because it's not widely available.

Any recs to make fewer trips? I don't want to support Walmart either.

Won’t shop at either T or A!

Books Barnes and Nobel.com even though it costs more and takes longer to arrive or actual bookstores and bookstore websites. I don’t care it a costs a bit more.

Never shopped much at Target. I have a Costco membership and buy there.

Groceries Giant food and Trader Joe’s. Have cut way back in Whole Foods (Amazon). Cut back on Aldi who cut DEI.

Hardware ACE or strosneiders. Won’t shop at Lowe’s or HDepot.

Clothing Nordstrom. Always shopped there. No more Anthropologie or Free People.

Even researched make up and I’ll stick w NARs and Georgio Armani.

I don’t miss spending.

I’m just buying online.

If you don't want to spend it there, great. But some of us rely on that income from these companies...so it impacts us.

And many of those people are BIPOCLGBTQIA+. You are hurting those people economically. I thought people on dcum were educated.

So, I stop using Walmart delivery and our nice drivers lose their jobs…..I have principles and it’s not about the company but the workers.

Ignore data at your own peril. Besides, your shopping there means your tax money is supporting Walmart. Your choice.

I also find it pretty funny that everyone is like “but the jobs” then going onto the Feds laid off threads and then saying “but there are tons of jobs, so find a new one!”
