Before Amazon even was a twinkling of an idea, The WalMart was pushing its suppliers to produce products of such poor design and quality standards, that they became at the same time available to everyone, and disposable. The WalMart promotes it's "green" initiatives, yet their entire business model is based on filling up our landfills with the worthless crappy products they sell as quickly as possible. Same for retailers like Old Navy - $6 hoodie faded? Who cares...throw it out and get a new one. The Walmart figured it out a long time ago - the average person likes to buy stuff, even if the stuff sucks...so sell them sucky stuff. The bonus is that you can sell them that same sucky stuff again in a few months when the first one breaks, or a new feature is added, or the names of the colors are changed.

That's why I hate the WalMart, and other retailers that sell products designed to be in the trash within 6 months of purchase.

Besides that, I think lots of people hate Walmart more than Amazon because it's a physical, tangible representation of the ugly, shallow, consumeristic society in which we live. Amazon doesn't have massive parking lots full of lazy idiots dueling for the closest parking space so they can go load up their cart with a big screen TV, a case of donuts, an extra large mumu, and an all in one remote so they don't have to waste energy picking up a different one.

On the rare occasion I go into the Walmart, I always feel bad for humanity.
