Is Target Really Better Than Walmart?



Both...

  • don't allow labor unions
  • contribute to urban sprawl
  • have hideous architecture
  • don't have Living Wage certification
  • drastically alter small town economies

Issues specifically with Walmart include:

  • employee-relations issues
  • foreign product sourcing
  • maltreatment of product suppliers (pitting them against each other, extreme capitalism - see PBS's Walmart documentary)
  • bad environmental practices
  • use of public subsidies
  • their security policies
  • running mom and pop stores out of business
