Luckily they have kept Walmart out of the areas of Seattle where there are lots of indie businesses. I think there is one in the whole city and hell, nobody can tell me where it is. Yet another reason I love it here.
Walmart's fairly new to this area, so there are a few stores around, but not a lot. I went in there once to see what the fuss was about. I didn't like the store at all, actually so I've always stayed away from it. Then when I read in the paper all the stuff about them, it just gave me an even stronger reason not to go there.
Oh, they're chaotic and nerve-wracking to me. So's Kmart. Only Target, funnily enough (since I had such a shitty experience working nights there), is a decent shopping experience, out of the three major Big Box stores I've encountered.
I can't wait to read all of this! (About to go to work, so I'm answering quickly...)
It was kinda funny, on my Fiends page, there was a post from another guy, hdiandrew, who is boycotting Target. Apparantly they have pharmacists who won't fill prescriptions if they don't want to - most notably birth control medications. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with him as I haven't read the link he gave entirely yet or other stuff to corroborate, but I thought you'd like to see his post:
PS: D'oh! Didn't see til I typed all this that Chaptal said the same below. It's still valid, both of you go read this! :) Or anyone else, it's a party! :)
An Eckerd pharmacist famously refused to fill a woman's birth control prescription last year. Soon, there will be nowhere left to shop, if I decide to boycott all the places that have horrible policies. :(
