Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price

Angela: *** Louis: **1/2

A shocking look into the practices of Wal-Mart - the world's largest retailer and the US's single largest employer. Some of the information we already knew, but there was a great deal we didn't. One of the biggest issues is the fact that Wal-Mart pays their workers such a low wage and the health care plan they do offer is priced so high that they officially endorse and recommend that their workers seek out government aid (Medic-aid, food stamps, etc.). This amounts to millions and millions of tax payer dollars indirectly subsidizing Wal-Mart's costs of operation. Another surprising issue is the high occurrence of crime (theft, rape, murder, etc.) within Wal-Mart parking lots, and Wal-Mart's apparent unwillingness to pay for any security.

Not quite as entertaining or well produced as Super Size Me, but it did contain a great deal of information and we definitely don't plan on shopping there anytime soon.
