WalMart and Me

My buddy Jared is always going ff about the evils of Walmart. I can't say I blame him. A massive company with the almost single-handed ability to kill off the American worker once and for all. A detestable company, in almost every way imaginable.

And yet...and yet...I can sometimes be found roaming the local supercenter. It is the closest store to us, and also the cheapest, and it will have almost everything we want. The service is almost always poor, but it also has the best root-beer available (no, really). It is also the home to our local Papa Murphy's Pizza. The combination of these factors too often proves an irresistable temptation. Count me as a sheep, cared for the shepard of consumer culture!

Hey, I read that entry on the Covili family blog.

I have no idea who they are, but I agree with both them and you about Wal-Mart.

I've even contributed to the Wal-Mart entry on wikipedia.

Can we join a WalMart support group for those who suffer from a similar affliction? We'll call the group for those who hate the store that cannot be named (but cannot be avoided).
