There is a wonderful movie called THE HIGH COST OF LOW PRICES that is an actual documentary about Walmart. You can rent it from Netflix or at Blockbuster. Although I had only been in a Walmart once or twice before seeing that film, after I saw it, I said NEVER AGAIN. Similarly, I called Land's End and asked them why their clothes were now all made offshore. I told them that when they began to create American-made clothes they could have my business back. And I meant it.
