I've never cared much for shopping at "Wally World." The last time I was in
one, I was not impressed with their selection or prices. Plus, when I read
about WalMart making its employees work 'off the clock' I decided that it
was one place I wouldn't patronize.

So, in answer to your post, I'm not surprised.

ECONOMY - WAL-MART IS NO BARGAIN: CBS News reports Americans are paying a
stiff price for bargains at the mega corporation Wal-Mart. According to a
recent University of California, Berkeley study, Wal-Mart actually takes a
lot more from communities than it gives back in low prices. "Because of

the
low wages and because people do not have health insurance through their
employer, people rely on public support to make ends meet," says the
school's Ken Jacobs. In California, taxpayers pay an estimated $82-million

a
year to take care of health care, food stamps, and other social services

for
Wal-Mart employees.
