I haven't seen the documentary that you're referring to, but I am interested in seeing it.  The few people I know that work for Walmart seem satisfied there. Don't know anything about Papa Johns though.  I will say this, I know that Walmart in the past has received negative press in the past for how they treat their workers, but it is my understanding that in recent years they've tried to change that.  I've even heard negative things about Krogers from some of it's employees, but I still shop there.  I gotta eat and need other basics and they (Kroger, Walmart, Target, Meijer, and others) provide, depending on where I'm at and what I need. Like you I'm all for better treatment for employees, but I'm not a union guy either.  I've got mixed opinions on the topic and I guess not strong enough opinion any of the places to warrant a boycott.  Like I said to each their own.

That could very well be the case, I've been out of the Wally World loop for ten plus years.

I didn't mean to insinuate that you were disputing my story, sorry if it came off that way....I was just adding more info to it.  I frequent Kroger, Meijer, and GFS.  When I'm in Cincy, I ALWAYS take a cooler and stop by Jungle Jim's.  If I lived there, that's where I'd go pretty much exclusively.  I love that place.  Great cigar and craft beer selection. :andy:

Even though I don't order pizza that much anymore for various reasons (mostly cause there's always a pizza overrun every other week at work due to meetings), I would say that of all the pizza chains I like Papa John's the best.  Until I read what you wrote.  Even though I haven't ordered their pizza in two years (and probably just 5 or so times over the last five years or more), I might just have to remove them from consideration.   

There is an Aldi in my hometown, and my folks frequent it.  They are currently clearing ground where I live now to build one.  I can't wait.  It's basically "the working man's Whole Foods".  I haven't heard anything but good about Aldi.

Of the pizza chains, Jet would be my favorite.  We have a few local and regional outfits here that we order from.  Like you, when I learned all of that, Papa John's never had a place at my table again.  Jimmy Johns can kick rocks too, and I hate that....loved the Gargantuan sub.
