One of the good things about living in a capitalist society is that people get to spend their money however and wherever they want to.

And if someone doesn’t care for the business practices of a certain company, they never have to spend a cent there again.

Check out why this former Walmart worker decided they wouldn’t support the company.

Boycott for life.

“In 1998, I graduated from high school.

My summer job, working a youth program for the city I grew up in, ended in August.

Because my college didn’t start until October, I worked at WalMart for the month in between.

The first day, I worked 8 hours as a cashier and then was told that we had to return items to the shelves. It took roughly 30 minutes.

Extra money!

I was excited as I understood the time and a half nature of overtime.

Because of the delay in getting checks, I didn’t realize until almost the end that they were wiping my hours to 40 exactly per week.

I was angry.

That’s not cool at all.

I realize now that I lost probably 20 hours at roughly $8.25 or $325.

In the 23-ish years since then, I’ve refused to spend a dollar at WalMart.

I’m somewhat frugal, and would have surely spent a lot there.

Also, once I know I’m terminally ill, I plan on accidentally bumping into something really expensive there.”
