I prefer Costco for a number of reasons but I'm not one to dump on WalMart for the way they allegedly treat their employees. It seems a lot of the noise over WalMart is union-sponsored sour grapes.
I've been to dozens of job fairs over the past few years trying to hire people for a major corporation. The one thing that stands out is that there is a clear subset of the population that is fundamentally unemployable for a variety of reasons. IMHO, WalMart takes in a lot of those people -- albeit on a part-time basis with minimal benefits -- and teaches them the basics of how to hold a job. I think that benefits society in the long run. Other will disagree, of course.
BTW, I understand that people may not shop at WalMart for personal reaons. There are several airlines I won't fly because they shafted some of their employees --mostly union members -- in bankruptcy proceedings.
