If you ever watch "Walmart: The High Cost of Low Price", you'll probably quit going as well. I dated a member of the management team, she quit in disgust of their policies, and treatment of women in the management program. People get fired for even mentioning a union. I don't do business with people like that, and no, I'm not union, but I believe strongly in worker rights. I don't buy Papa John's anymore either. He whined and cried about the whole healthcare deal....had to cut hours....gonna break him....blah, blah, blah. Yet, somehow, he can afford to give away millions of pizzas during a Super Bowl promotion, sponsor not only the NHRA, but also sponsor an NHRA Funny Car. No telling what he paid Manning for all of those ads.....I don't do business with liars either. I'm expected to be honest and up front in my line of work, pay taxes, and carry my own weight. I expect the same in return. Call me old fashioned I guess......I will drive way out of my way, and I will pay more.
If you live in the Nati these days, and you aren't hitting up Jungle Jim's, brother, you are missing out!
Oh... I'm not disputing your story, I'm just stating that our experiences are vastly different. 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.
