That's the response I was after. Explain how you feel.

My point is that no retail chain treats their employees worth a crap, and so long as they provide the federal minimum, they shouldn't have to. The employees are free to seek alternate employment.

While I agree that they do drive out small business, it is the result of the commercialization of America more than anything. Tear down WalMart, and next year a mom-and-pop store will grow to take their place. (South Park, anyone? )

For me it's close, convinient, and inexpensive. You may not notice the savings, but I like to keep a close eye on my finances, and I do.

but the address it came from was literally walmart.com and threw me off.

I could send you an email from "walmart.com" right now. Email sender information is easily faked.

thanks, didn't know it was that easy to fake domain names.

In the days of Win95 and IE 3.02, the Internet Mail program that came with it gave you the option of typing in who it was from, so you could partially fake your own headers as a standard feature of the software. Software exists too that will let you fake just about any part of the header. I could send you an e-mail that looks like it's from your own address.
