43. Every working woman and man in the United States . . .

Sun Jun 2, 2013, 08:47 AM

Jun 2013

Every working woman and man in the United States should boycott Walmart until they radically change their minimum wage, no benefits style of employee compensation. Money is all those greedheads care about, so hit them where it hurts them.

I have not spent a dime in a Walmart store for nearly ten years. They can treat their people decently or they can do without my business forever!
