Yeah, it sucks for sure. I personally choose to spend a bit more and buy a bit less to go to somewhere that doesn't suck horribly, but that's a lot of effort and a privilege that others may not have. I'll never condemn a person for shopping at walshart, due to that. Still though, shop elsewhere when you can, buy minimal when you can't. That's about the only legal recourse we have as consumers.
