Do I care about how the people who work there are treated? No, not really, as long as the Company is able to provide adequate customer service and fill my order correctly.
For example, if you were looking to buy a dart board, Wal-Mart's price was $37.62, Target's was $40.99 and Dart's R' Us was $49.99, where would you buy it? Wal-Mart or Target, and you're not fooling anyone here if you say Dart's R' Us.
Same goes for airline tickets. The "uninformed" public is very informed, if they were uninformed they'd still be buying tickets for Aloha and Hawaiian for $300 RT instead of $80.
Indirectly you will pay more for the dartboard than the Walmart price as those who work there might need assistance in health insurance or child support or welfare from the government because their Walmart paychecks do not cover it all. Then your tax dollars you saved by getting the cheap darts go to them, and you've still got the cheapest type of dartboard.
