I am also assuming you don't buy from Target, or Whole Foods, or Amazon or any other retailer because they also pay minimum wage and do the same practices as Walmart.

In fact, if you are a business owner, do you not negotiate the prices on your products you buy from your suppliers?

1.2 out of 1.4 million Walmart employees get health insurance through Walmart. I guarantee you the number of LBS employees who are not owners who get health insurance from the LBS is almost zero. A much higher percentage of Walmart employees get health insurance then the percentage of those working at Starbucks do.

So give me a break that Walmart is somehow this evil company... They do the exact same thing other companies do, only they are better at it.

You and your hypocrisy are therefore dismissed.
Seen the news? Walmart just canceled insurance for their part time workers, and greatly increased the rates for the rest of their employees. All because it is going to cut into their profits.
