Any person, company, or organization who does not take every opportunity to publicly denounce and shame Sharpton does not deserve support from anyone.

I know from eye to eye and face to face with Sam Walton, that he would NOT approve and would transfer any manager to Alaska that did. I know, I was one of the first 22 Supercenter Food managers. I talked to Mr. Sam about Reagan and Clinton politics back then when I started. I was considered to become WalMarts first Lobbyist in 1989, but they hired a K Street guy instead and I ran stores instead.

Wait, I thought lefties hated Walmart. Are they going to have to profess love for the store now?

Or in other words, they don't want to be boycotted for crappy wages.

Says a lot about both Walmart and Sharpton.

People that are going to get significantly upset about this probably aren't that civilized.

yea probably the right call. the protest could damage things at the store. even if the ones that are upset about this aren't civilized they aren't going to burn the store down

That's all you need to know. They cater to low income shoppers so what do you expect? The ironic thing is, they could completely obliterate Sharpton and those same shoppers will continue to return.

Article didn't offer any specifics. Not one. Yet everyone jumps on and tells us how terrible WM is. Typical.
