Mixed feelings about Wal-mart

Flipping channels a couple days ago, I happened upon a movie telling what's wrong with Wal-mart.

The movie has torn me in two.

See, with the money crunch we're all experiencing, I go to Wal-mart because they have the cheapest prices, by far.

But after seeing how they treat their employees, I wish I were rich enough to shop elsewhere.

The pitiful economy has made me a slave to Wal-Mart; I hate that idea.

Now, the part about all their goods being manufactured in China doesn't bother me so much, because I worked at Kohl's Distribution Center for almost five years. So I realize that the stuff most retailers sell originates in China; don't blame Wal-Mart for that.

But seeing that movie certainly put a bad taste in my mouth.

And yet, where else will I get $4 prescriptions?

I hate being in a position like this.

At least I guess I could drop Sam's Club and switch to Costco; do you suppose that will make a difference?
