Wallmart has done a lot to push jobs overseas because of the way they treat suppliers and manufacturers of the products they sell. Not to mention pushing small businesses in the areas they are in out of business.
The idea of paying for an unknown families gifts is a great thing to do though.

while I understand where you are coming from, the bottom line is that Walmart is the biggest employer in the US and they are probably pushing some jobs overseas so that they can keep their prices lower, which supports lower income families that can not afford to shop at higher priced small businesses.
I personally do not shop at Walmart nor does my wife but again I am not in the position where I need to
As to your first comment "supporting the walmart machine"...I don't feel that's the case, the person in the story is supporting someone who is most likely in need not Walmart
Not to be a smart ass but the person can't do his got deed at Barnies or sacs fifth ave....I doubt they have layaway department
