The thing that nobody here seems to be considering is that for some people "ethical" decisions are simply not affordable. While I am shocked at how Walmart expects me to subsidize their employees with food stamps and health assistance, I don't see how a lower income family of, say, four could afford Safeway or Giant these days. Food prices are through the roof and like it or not, you can save some serious money grocery shopping at Walmart. Which I don't, but then again I'm not trying to raise a family.
My sister falls into that category. I have never spoken one word to her about how deplorable a company Walmart is - she doesn't need to be burdened with my opinion on the matter when she's busy just surviving.
