Walmart
I've never really shopped at Walmart just because I don't like it. The store is too big, and believe it or not there has never been one located conveniently for me. Of course I've always heard about how they treat their employees, and all those other stories about how they force small businesses out, so these just give me more incentive to not shop there. I don't really give a crap about their low prices, because I have a pretty good idea why they're so low.
So anyway, I just recently heard the following statistic: Bill Gates has donated more to charity in the past year than Walmart has every year combined since it's been a behemoth company.
For a company of its size, and especially considering the issues and neglect of their employees when it comes to pay and benefits, this is pretty sad huh? Even if it's not entirely true.
Even thought Gates and Microsoft throw their weight around when it comes to business, at least they're generous with what they make.
