As much as I try to, I can't seem to get the Walmart documentary out of my head. I sat there the whole film trying to fight back tears. I felt as though I was partially responsible for what was happening to thousands of businesses that were affected because of the Walmart enterprise.  Personally I shop their religiously. As a college student I look for the best bargains, and now I know the truth behind why I'm able to pay so little.

It's now become a parody every time I witness a Walmart commercial. They don't care about their employees, the communities they invade or how or if they're able to survive. They just seem to care about overworking the already overworked and collecting every dime they can in the process. I have friends and family that work at Walmart and most of them don't even know that they are getting "screwed".  The High Price of Low Cost couldn't have been a more appropriate title for this documentary.


Walmart affects so many lives that I didn't even know existed. Of everything that this documentary entailed I think that the hardest thing for me to get over will be the workers that lived in the horrendous dorms of China. I can't believe that they expected people to live in those dorms, work all day for three dollars a day, produce quality products and be able to feed their families on that  wage. It will forever and always continue to boggle my mind. I may be extreme in saying this, but from now on, Walmart will never see another dime of my money.

They are punishing people for wanting to have a decent living and a chance at a better life by establishing a union. For years people work at Walmart, and for little to nothing. I for one refuse to be a part of anything that involves Walmart, until they make better choices for the people that buy from them and work for them.
