That is way too big of a brush you are using. There are lots of
businesses that are honest and pay decent wages and benefits. There is
nothing inherently evil about corporations.

Meanwhile you choose to support one of the most rotten examples. There
certainly are stores that pay considerably more than walmart and have
benefits. Why not support them?
