I never heard Wal-Mart is an exploiter of sweat-shop labour. I guess it
makes sense since their prices are really low. If I go to K-Mart I find
their products much more expensive. Some of the other stores in town, like
Sears and target are so expensive, I can't understand why they are still in
business. You almost need to take out a 2-nd mortgage on your home to
afford their prices. OK! OK! I'm exaggerating, but you see why people
prefer to shop at Wal-Mart.
(off topic a bit)
I've always found Wal-Mart stores somewhat dirty, disorganized and disheveled. Maybe it's a conscious effort to look like a bargain store. Target is very pleasant and around here not much different in price, except for their obnoxious practice of calling customers "guests".
