The only problem is with the customers of Wal-Mart themselves...
Most of us here could / would do just fine without a Wal-Mart to go to, and we might even be able to affect the newer ones that have been put near middle-class neighborhoods...
But remember the old Wal-Mart stores, those that have been there for more than a decade or so, have done 2 things.
One, they've driven out most if not all of the locally owned stores [mom and pops] that those lower-income areas would need to go to now...
Two, the die-hard wal-mart customers, their bread and butter, are so reliant on them now, and so tied in with the whole culture of fast, cheap, convenient, would never listen to, let alone participate in any boycott.
They simply can't anymore. Or wont.
Unfortunately in this America we have now, there will always be a Wal-Mart. [unless of course the supply dries up]
Imagine for a moment, China's reaction to stiffer tariffs.
yow.
