Walmart doesn't pay its employees a living wage, nor enough to afford their laughable health care packages, making it so most of their
full-time employees require Medicare or Medicaid (if they can get it) in order to have any health care coverage at all for themselves and their families. It's the main reason why I will never shop in a Walmart. Now, the closest one to me is in the next town over, which makes The Pit of Despair easier to avoid, but even if it were closer, I would not darken its doors. There are plenty of other stores nearby,
locally owned stores, which sell the same items, usually of better quality, too. And if the prices are a little higher, well, at least my conscience can soothe my pocketbook's woes.
Rather than just gripe about the issue or boycott the stores like me, however, Five Stones and the Center for Community and Corporate Ethics has taken on one aspect of the battle against Walmart in a kinda corny, but rather amusing way. This series of three videos from
Walmartwatch are very clever.
And I have to admit roflmao (or very nearly) when Lucius Malfoy 'n Snape et al were getting jiggy to "
Thriller" in the Final Battle of the third video, "Harry Potter and the Prisoners of Waldemart." Watch that one if nothing else.
