Some time back I decided that Amazon was an evil monopoly and I wasn't going to do business with them. I've pretty much stuck to my guns ... even through those times which something I wanted to buy was only to be had on their site.
I simply did without.
That resulting vendor requirement was channeled to Walmart who likewise hasn't proven to be worthy of my business. They have this propensity for telling you that you qualify for "free shipping" when they have raised the price on the products to cover that shipping cost in what amounts to a bait and switch on pricing when you hit their site.
I'm feeling as though integrity is to be totally lacking in the world of retail in general. Not only do they screw their low paid workers and feeble partners; but they go out of their way to sodomize the customer as well.
I keep wishing for some type of karma to befall them from the ecommerce gods resulting in their being struck from the heavens with some ray of death. Likely, I'll simply be forced to suffer the slings and arrows of those vendors without scruples I've come to loathe so much.
