Brian and I have recently had a few discussions over whether we should shop at Wal-Mart. I'd always said "ick" to the idea, just based on a variety of things, but now he's got much better ammunition to support my general distaste for the place.
From Brightrock.com:
Recent news stories (Employee Lock-ins, Impact of Low Wages, Buying Influence) have made me really think about the impact of the Wal-Mart style of doing business on our country.
While some local governments compete for a Wal-mart store as a way of expanding their tax base, some localities have begun to assess whether the increased tax revenue makes up for the negative impact - increased infrastructure costs, increased strain on services, etc.
