No.  If you don't want to work, don't work.

Pretty sad that your moral compass doesn't go beyond yourself.

We don't have Walmart in NYC, so I won't be attending. 

But, of course I support workers who demand civilized working conditions and decent wages.  The way we prioritize the cheapest price for junk from China over poor working people in this country is absolute scandal.  It's not just wrong, but it's bad economic policy.  I don't know if this is exactly the right tactic, as opposed to protesting at your state capitol.  But, sure, I support them.

I support the protests, but I'm not sure if i'm going to have to work. If I'm scheduled, I'll have to.

I'm righting a 10 page paper on Walmart for my AP English class, and the more I do the research, the more I find I love Walmart. So no, I don't support the protests one bit.

Hmmm... I won't have anything to do until the Rangers/Flyers game at Wells Fargo.

Hey, I'll attend for a little bit and stand with them.  My Wal-Mart boycott is going on a decade now, so I might as well put my money where my mouth is.

Support of course.

Luckily, my fair city has not yet been benighted by Wal-Mart.

I do not plan on being within 500 feet of Wal mart in my life so I'll surely be doing my part.

Maybe if more join me the corporation will cease to exist and those awful jobs can disappear.

My local Wal-Mart isn't having a strike, sadly, so no.

I think we've found a contender for "whitest post ever".

I support them, but the closest Wal-Mart having a protest is ~190 miles from where I live.

I'm mortified that I wrote "righting" instead of "writing." The one time I didn't write my post in Microsoft word Tongue.

There are no Wal-Marts where I live, but if there were, I wouldn't support the protests.

No because Walmart hasn't done anything bad to me

This is by far the most awful thing I have read in awhile.

Of course I support the protests. I won't be attending the protests, but I will be boycotting with my money. Any store that is open on Thanksgiving can bite me, not to mention all of the other horrible conditions. Forget it.

No.  If you don't want to work, don't work.

I have to work until around 5 or so on Black Friday, but as soon as I get off, I plan on heading to one of the mamy local walmarts holding a protest.

Hell yes, anything the actual workers can do to screw over the big-wigs and reclaim their human rights sounds excellent to me where corporations are concerned

And Mall-Wart is a fantastic example.

That's the proper name for a corporation so odious and with products of such astoundingly bad quality.

But no, I'm not wasting gas to get the nearest one. Sorry, but there are better things for me to do than associate with hell on Earth in any way,shape,or form.
