I spent a few minutes trying to think of some sort of charitable potential justification for the ladies-shopping-at-Wal-Mart thing and failed.
I mean... in my hometown, Wal-Mart was quite literally the only place you could get groceries & other stuff for a good while, and that's still true of a lot of other small/moderate-sized towns in the area, so it'd be really hard to not shop at Wal-Mart even if you wanted to. (Like, I remember in high school getting kind of annoyed at a food-snob neighbor who was sighing about how she didn't understand why anyone would ever shop at that awful Wal-Mart place, because my kneejerk reaction was, "what, so everyone should drive over an hour to the nearest metro area to shop at overpriced Whole Foods, so they can turn up their nose at other people's food like you do?")
But I'm assuming this is in an area that actually does have some choice in grocers and such, or else there wouldn't really be a point in signing the anti-Walmart thing, eh :/ Disappointing.
edit: also, I had not heard of the Darden Group thing. thanks for the heads-up.
