Many stores use overseas suppliers.

I won't shop there because of their employment practices, not because they are buying overseas supplies.

As an HR Manager & the wife of a union member, I won't step foot in one.

I just think they're dirty.
I LOVE Target...only been in KMart about 3 times in my life.

While Wal-Mart's practices are questionable to most.... From a business/logistics perspective they are brilliant. I read a few cases on them during my MBA program and the efficiency of their supply chain and distirbution is amazing.



same here!! When I was getting my MBA (1998 - 2000), we studied them for their business practices. It's funny how things change!

I don't shop at Walmart, mainly because there isn't one close to me, whereas there is a big, clean Target about 1 mile away.

but i have to say, when i was in undergrad, they had this superwalmart near my school and it was fabulous!



Yes, it was Chat Icon . I always loved Walmart b/c of their prices on everyday things like toiletries and pharmeceuticals. I hardly shop there anymore b/c there isn't one near me and more recently, b/c of their practices.

Well, if I HAVE to go to a Walmart, I will but I don't like to. Mainly because I worked for Kmart Headquarters for 5 years and even though I quit 7 years ago, I still think of them as the enemy!
