This is why I don't like Wally World. Well, one of the reasons... the other is their consistenly poorly designed parking lots.

When Wally World first came to Winnipeg, it did so by buying out another chain. It kept all the stores, *except* the one with a union. If Wally World really does have the best interest of it's workers (and the community) in mind, why is it that it hates unions?
