I have legitimate complaints against Wal-Mart.  I shop at Wal-Mart.  I
shop at Wal-Mart because I am a hypocrite.

My complaints:

1.  Wal-Mart supports the GOP.  Costco supports the Dems.  I'm a
Democrat.  I'd rather support a Costco than a Wal-Mart.  Bring a
Costco to Moscow, please.

2.  Wal-Mart doesn't pay as well as Costco, and offers less generous
benefits.  Allegedly.  I don't have the time to dig for corroborating
URL's.

3.  Wal-Mart, Costco, etc., lead to a certain homogeneity that I find
distasteful.  I like a little adventure/diversity in my shopping.  I
may be in the extreme minority in this.

4.  Wal-Mart actively censors.  I resent bowdlerized content, even if
it is good for me.

Good things about Wal-Mart:

1.  They didn't cave-in to the "Happy Holidays" weenies. 
Surprisingly.  Gratifyingly.

2.  Wal-Mart employs the handicapped in large numbers (or so it seems
to this shopper).  Bravo!

Those are my reasons for liking/disliking Wal-Mart.  You may have
others.  That's okay.  Those are mine; you can borrow a few if you
want.
