here's a poll: do you boycott wal mart or target?

Posted by the year of the ox loves mandy lane (aka amanda) Jan 30 '09, 13:18

I don't. I'm a student. if I can buy the same orange at walmart for 34 cents that costs 66 cents at giant, I'm just going to do it.

the PLU is even the same. same orange. almost half the price. no brainer.

Responses:

i boycott target, but only because ... well, numerous reasons... - i'm not dead yet ! Jan 30, 13:26
There's no Walmart nearby. If there was, I wouldn't go unless I knew I could abuse their prices. -- nm - Mop Jan 30, 13:25
I don't like Wal-Mart even though it's across street. I've always loved Target since I didn't have them growing up. -- nm - David Jan 30, 13:24 1
- We went to Target when it was Air Way. -- nm - Amy Jan 30, 13:25
Target is the only one that exists anywhere near me - znufrii Jan 30, 13:24
I'm with you. I shop based on prices. -- nm - Trish Jan 30, 13:24 1
- (not a comment on WM/Target or directed at you). I often ponder if that mantra is part of what got us into our current hole. - ty97 Jan 30, 13:26
no - providing the same goods for cheaper has so much benefit for low-income earners that I'd never boycott. (but there's no WalMart close by) -- nm - Roger More Jan 30, 13:24
I boycott my local walmart on the principle that their parking lot sucks ASS, as does the layout of the store. However ... - Beryllium Jan 30, 13:23 4
- I hate both our Wal Marts lots. The old dirty Wal Mart *and* the new fancy one. -- nm - Amy Jan 30, 13:24
- and wooden parque floors. - tRuMaN Jan 30, 13:23 2
  - I presume that the new one will have that, yes. The current one doesn't. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 13:24 1
    - its one of their upgrades. along with black painted freezer shelving things, - tRuMaN Jan 30, 13:25
Yes, I will definitely go to Target over Wal-mart - unless it's something specific that I'm going to Wal-mart for. - JaxSean Jan 30, 13:23
No. -- nm - kelly Jan 30, 13:22
I would boycott WalMart, if I only knew where one was -- nm - Mr. Havens Jan 30, 13:22
I actively avoid WalMart unless it is the last choice -- nm - amoxy Jan 30, 13:22
We shop at both. -- nm - Amy Jan 30, 13:22
I generally avoid Wal-Mart (We have Wal-mart grocery stores here. Like no store, just groceries). I LOVE Target. -- nm - ty97 Jan 30, 13:21 1
- they have those here in kc, Neighborhood markets. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 30, 13:22
i have only every been to walmart once in my life -- nm - decline Jan 30, 13:21
We don't have very many Wal-Marts. I feel my decision not to shop there is being made not by me, but by other people. -- nm - con_carne Jan 30, 13:21
Wal-Mart. -- nm - Chicken Little Jan 30, 13:21
boycott/actively avoid ... potato/potahto. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 13:20 2
- If I had to guess, though, I'd bet you do it because of the shopping experience, yes? Not on any sort of moral grounds? -- nm - Subversive Jan 30, 13:22 1
  - probably about 80 per cent that if I had to break it down. - Reagen Jan 30, 13:25
nope. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 30, 13:20
Wal Mart, mostly. But only because their nearest store is always dirty and always a mess. -- nm - TWuG Jan 30, 13:20
I boycott Walmart. Not so much as a political statement. I just can't stand shopping there. - mrfuzzy, Steelers fan Jan 30, 13:20
we don't have one for me to boycott, but I would, because I don't like how it smells. -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 13:19 1
- That's why I boycott Deanna Troi. -- nm - TFox Jan 30, 13:21
No, nor do I do business with them very often. -- nm - TaurusII Jan 30, 13:19 1
- yup, I go to Target weekly, but only go to Wal Mart in dire situations. - groiny Jan 30, 13:21
No, I don't. The Wal-mart by my house is extra trashy though, so I tend to avoid it to some degree. -- nm - Subversive Jan 30, 13:19

Nah, I save that for special choades like deepdiscountdvd.com. - TFox Jan 30, 13:19
I only boycott marriage. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 30, 13:18 2
- erm... - ty97 Jan 30, 13:20 1
  - ok, well I would have if I knew then what I know now. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 30, 13:21
