I said nor implied nothing about "social class." Whose dog whistle are
you responding to?
Furthermore, I haven't noticed that Walmart prices are lower, because -
wait for it! - I don't shop at Walmart. And anyway, I pay essentially no
attention to prices. Unlike some posting here, I can easily afford to
buy what I want without whining.
I object to Walmart's practices of screwing employees in various ways.
Also, going back many years, I was told (by a fellow engineer) how
Walmart "whipsaws" suppliers, using semi-extortionist buying practices.
Shop where you like. But try to engage your brain before posting.
