Personally, I like Wal-Mart. However, look to see what percentage of their goods are made in China. It is very, very hard to find an American made product in Wal-Mart.

Don't complain about importation of goods from China and then go buy them at Wal-Mart because they are a lot cheaper than the "Mom & Pop" stores. You either pay less at Wal-Mart for foreign products or pay quite a bit more for American made at the "Mom & Pop" stores. Take your pick.
