Yikes - that's pretty grim. I live in Massachusetts and we tend to have pretty good local businesses, so I tend to prioritize those, but bulk buying is pretty much the province of Costco (or Sam's, but that's part of Wal-Mart and aren't really any better towards their workers anyway).
I am not sure but I've heard Costco is much better at treating their employees compared to Wal-Mart and other stores. The salaries are higher than the minimum wage.

The local Wal-Mart pay better than minimum wage. No Costco in the area.
I've learned that just because a business is local doesn't mean they aren't SOBs. It is about the same % as every other walk of life.
