One I fully support your right to make. There are retailers I don't do
business with by personal choice as well. As it happens, I place a high
value on honesty and have been known to pay substantially more for some
things than do business with those that have lied to me about price or the
goods and services I'm to get for my money.

We all have our triggers. That's one of mine.

I still shop at Home Depot even though they consistently fail to have what I
want, consistently fail to have anybody in the store that has a clue about
the goods and services they sell (actually, there are two people in my local
store with a clue), and, most recently, really annoyed me when they had
three cashiers standing around talking, only one open, and then directed me
to the "self checkout" lanes. I self checked out, all right, but I didn't
buy any of their products that day. The only reason I keep trying is because
they're less than a block from my house.

When I ask a retailer to tell me their product source, they tell me or I
walk. Walmart instructs their minions to never tell, and I consider
this to be disingenuous at best, and dishonest at worst. What are they
trying to hide? (just a rhetorical question, I already know).

I don't do self check-out - ain't my job, even if I have to remind them
of that.

Who wants to be one of the crowd?
