Walmart doesn't pay enough for it's workers to live on. It's workers are heavily subsidised by government programs such as food stamps. In walmarts, they make people clock out to use the rest room and dock them if they pee too much. A walmart near me several years ago got busted putting it's graveyard stocking crew (mostly immigrants) in diapers so they could work all nite without breaks. Walmart IS THE CRISIS. Many people have no choice but to shop there. It is now the only game in town. Both my sisters in the midwest are suffering that conundrum, even tho they could theoretically afford something else. The availibility of options other than wally world is one of the things that keeps me on the west coast.

I don't get the people saying 'well it's the only thing poor people can afford'. Bullshit, in many places it's their only choice and in others, well I've been butt poor all my adult life and managed never to shop there, ESPECIALLY for groceries.

Most people on this board have the luxury of affording to pay a dollar more for something. Stop apologising for wally world and buy from locally owned stores and union shops. The job you save may be your own.
