I doubt anyone here buys dive gear at Wal-Mart.

Of course. Employment is a very personal choice. Assuming her separation
from the company was voluntary, it's a given that it was for the right
reasons.

Your statement that "Wal-Mart has internal business practices that the other
businesses don't have provides no information at all. Of course they do.
Every business has internal business practices that others don't have. If
you believe those practices should be known, post them. If you believe that
Wal-Mart and Sams trample on the free enterprise system, make your case.
Just saying it does not do it.

Of course her leaving was voluntary - she refused to work for a company
with a morally rotten core. Her opinion, and one that I share.

Well, it better "do it" because I'm under a gag order when it comes to
details. I'm allowed to offer my personal opinion of the company, I'm
allowed to offer the personal opinion of another member of my family,
and I'm allowed to acknowledge the existence of a gag order, no more.
I'm sure you understand that legal matters are often kept under wraps,
sometimes permanently. If you have further questions I can refer you to
the NLRB. Good luck.

In closing, I can also say you couldn't drag me into a Walmart store
with a bulldozer and logging chain. Personal opinion, of course.

You'd be incorrect.

I got a mask for $15 ("Dolphino" brand) at Wallyworld, after losing one on
a dive trip, used it for a year as a primary, a couple years as a spare, and
gave it away to someone in need last year.

The skirt was a little thick (the only oddity, not necessarily a
disparity, that I noticed), but it worked great, and fogged less than any
mask I ever owned.

On the rare occasion I use a snorkel, I use ones that don't have
extraneous percundis, wigetry and foolishness on the tube, and you can get
that for about $5 at Walmart.

Anyone that ever spent more than $15 on a snorkel, and didn't at least
learn a lesson, needs shock therapy and a keeper.
