Bye, Bye Walmart

It may have "Always low prices". But WalMart is one company that I have never given my business to unless I was passing by one of their "SuperCenters" and needed something urgently. I have read about their unfair business practices, labor exploitation here in U.S and in third world countries. They have reached a new heights with their decision to bypass a local ordinance. Here is the scoop:

Wal-Mart uses new tactic to get around Maryland county law limiting size Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, is employing a new tactic to get around a Maryland town ordinance that limits store sizes - build two outlets right next to each other.
Signalling what could be a new approach to getting around such restrictions, Wal-Mart will build adjacent stores in Dunkirk, Md., with one outlet being constructed so that it will be just under the 6,967.5 square-metre limit that is allowed by a Calvert County ordinance.

I do not think that the local community decided to have this restriction adhoc. They must have had good reasons when passing these ordinaces. Now trying to be smartypants here and trying to work around that doesn't tell anyone that they care about the local community they are setting up the shop in. It shows that they will do whatever when they see $$$. Well, he is not getting my money for sure.
