Wal-Mart, long the world's largest retailer, is beginning to feel the effects of their policies in their bottom line. Dogged by accusations of employee mistreatment and for leading to the closings of countless thousands of small businesses across the country, now they have their actions of catering to homosexuals to add to the mess. WorldNetDaily is carrying a good story on the issue here. It looks like catering to homos has affected them even more than the other problems they have. While sales at retailers nationally have reportedly increased by over 6 percent, Wal-Mart's has actually dropped by 0.1%. Although the American Family Association dropped their boycott of Wal-Mart just before Thanksgiving, the publicity of it may have had a small hand in the sales decline. Also, a group called Operation Save Wal-Mart still has a boycott of the merchant in effect.
Those who are close to me know that I am not supportive of Wal-Mart. I don't believe that I ever was. I do not like all the small business closings, their urging of suppliers to move production to China if they can't get prices low enough, and their treatment of employees, as well as their pandering to homos now. Although they continually deny those things, the evidence against them continues to pile high against them. The ball is in their court. If they want to continue to be a driving force in the economy, they will manage in a Biblical, just way. If what they are doing continues, they will likely fall the way of F.W. Woolworth's, A&P and Sears eventually.
