I concur in some aspects to your post and attitude toward WalMart. A major exception is in the fact that they do hire people that are in an already disadvantaged station on their individual life course and therefore in that respect WalMart affords the particular individual a feeling of greater self image and personal confidence for hope for their own future.
Translation: WalMart hires some disadvantaged people whom could not otherwise work somewhere else.

Kilts will not turn up in WalMart, or any other discount store until they become the current "gotta have" fad. That appears to be highly unlikely anytime soon.

If you don't like Wal Mart move to a country where they will never have market superiority. Iraq is a good example. They already a Target on every corner.

Ok.
I'll go further to offer some defense (not a defender though)...
According to more than one Alaskan I've communicated with, Wal-Mart has helped inflation there by bringing in mass quantities and lower prices.
I am still reducing my shopping with them.

If anyone is interested, Penn and Teller did an episode of their show, Bullsh*t, about Wal•Mart. Here are links to the show (adult language warning):

If they started selling kilts at Walmart than I will switch back to suits rather than wear a crappy made kilt that can be sold for cheap.
