A lot of their managers and even corporate personnel started in the stores. Walmart's evil is overstated by people who really do not have any idea what is going on inside of the stores and only listen to the propaganda thrown at you.

My beef with Walmart is them buying almost all of their stuff from Chinese (and other overseas) companies/distributors/etc.
It's one thing when you pay all your workers dirt wages with crap benefits. But it's another thing when you go out of your way to kill the American economy in the process.
No offense to anyone overseas. I actually shop at Walmart all the time because it is the closest store to my house. So yeah, I know, I'm part of the problem, blah, blah, blah. But I still wish Walmart did things differently. And if that Walmart was a Target instead (or any other store) I would still shop there. It's all about it being the closest store to my house...
