I've hunted high and low for my copy of Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich in which she documents her time working undercover at Walmart, so I could quote the final page, but I can't find it. She said it more eloquently than me, but the gist was that if you shop at a store like Walmart, you are asking another person to earn less than a living wage, be unable to provide health care to themselves and their children, be treated with respect by their workplace, just so that you can enjoy lower prices. How many of us could go up to another person and feel okay asking them to do that so we can pay a dollar less for a box of Atkins bake mix?

Not me.
