There has been no mention of Wal-Mart being told of this-- there is no mention of Wal-Mart acting unsympathetically about this. This happened far too recently for any judgment to be made on "how Wal-Mart is treating her." What I'm saying is that you are going to boycott a drug chain because a pharmacist at one location made an error in dispensing medication-- you are going to be boycotting every drug chain. You will have literally nowhere to turn for medication if you need it. Sure, he has every right to stop shopping at Wal-Mart over this-- but that in no way makes it any less of a knee-jerk reaction.

argeedee, I have to agree with you. Tragic though cases like this are, they are down to human error by an individual, and not a sinister conspiracy by a faceless corporate giant. To "boycott" the person's employer does seem to be a little pointless.
