No argument there on wal-mart. Their practices are downright deplorable. But by now everybody knows this. It's never going to stop though unless people make a decided effort to not give them the business. How many times do you hear people moan and groan about wal-mart - "I'll never go there again" - and then they are back the next day. That's what I don't understand. As long as saving a few extra bucks is more important than sending a message by not shopping there wal-mart will continue to laugh all the way to the bank while enslaving their employees.

There are great jobs and careers in retail. You might have to kiss a frog though (wal-mart) before you find a prince.

Tim your son and his girlfriend are on the right track.
