Reply #62: Target, yes. Costco, yes.

Wal-Mart, NO!

In the area I'm in, there are five Wal-Marts within easy driving distance, there is one Target close by, and a Target Greatland about twenty minutes away. There is also a Target Greatland and Costco near my office. Even better, there's a real possibility that there will be a Costco just fifteen minutes from where I live.

Wal-Mart and Sam's Club don't get a dime of my money anymore. Even if Wal-Mart offers more upscale merchandise, it's their labor, buying, and social practices that keep me out of the store.
