I have just plain had it with Wal-Mart. Not just because of this latest idiocy, but because it is like walking into an apolcaplyse of materialism–the tidiest rubble of useless stuff.

Wal-Mart has a well-deserved reputation for being the place where the dregs of mankind tend to congregate.😛

I don’t shop at Wal*Mart if I can help it, but a lot of folks of modest means do. The foregoing statement is offensive to me because I don’t consider poor people to be the “dregs of mankind.”

I also see nothing wrong with a business being open to all people. I think that is better than the “good old days” when businesses routinely discriminated against certain law abiding citizens on the basis of race or religion.

Those who feel strongly can always shop elsewhere so they can avoid polluting and disgusting contact with the “dregs of mankind.” If they do have to run into a Wal*Mart for something, perhaps they can hold a perfumed handkerchief over their noses.

Again, the reputation is there. Maybe well-deserved was an innacurate wording, but the reputation is there.
 
Sams Club allows us to buy fresh produce and bulk food for our family of seven. Wal-mart is not my favorite store. But, when I shop there I still try to find what I can made in countries other then China.

I’m not intending this as a barb or a detraction. But, I want to challenge you to examine your perceptions of class distinctions.

Is it possible that you have unconsciously adopted stereotypes in your thinking that might cause you to look at your fellow sisters and brothers in Christ as inferior due to economical or cultural differences?

Sometimes prejudices sneak up on us.

Maybe the people who save money by shopping at Wal-Mart use their savings to support their Churches, their relatives in need, or even to send their kids to Catholic schools and universities. Or, maybe they do it as a rejection of material culture–how many people buy designer clothing as a status symbol.

I’m pretty sure that bad taste in clothing or hair is not a sin. However, lack of charity is a serious sin.

They’re new to the boycott list at fightpp.org . I was suprised that they are now donors since it wasn’t that long ago that PP filed a lawsuit against Wal-Mart for not stocking Plan-B. Then all of the sudden Wal-Mart decides to stock Plan-B and become a Planned Parenthood donor.
 
Personally I don’t join boycotts. I shop where the prices are reasonable to my budget. I don’t find a problem with saving money.
