[QUOTE="Bulldog9, post: 578809, member: 17133"] Here is why I despise Wallmart.... While I understand that this store has brought a higher quality of living and great value/savings to people who would never have access to the name brands and discounts they sell at, I have to ask at what cost? Walmarts marketing plan is to flood communities with their stores, and to make it the most convenient and cheapest place to shop. The super low prices drive local mom & pop stores out of business, electronic retailers, small clothing and sporting goods stores, hardware stores, and now even grocery stores. They do this knowing that the local economy cant support their stores, not to mention all the local stores. Soon, the local stores close, and after Walmart has cornered the market, they end up closing their slower stores as well. I try in principle and whenever possible to support local stores and shops over walmart, but lets face it, it is sometimes not possible. I mostly buy motor oil car wax stuff, and thats it, unless I am travelling and need something. In these cases, Walmart is THE place to go because they will have it. In my town, there is a Target next to the Walmart, it is amazing to see the difference in the patron culture. Go in the Walmart, and it IS like a 3rd world country, with few if any people speaking english. We're not just talking Mexican or South American, Philipino, African, Mid East, Asian, etc. This includes check out clerks, managers, stockers, and shoppers. GO next door to the target and it is like you are in Western Europe......... Very strange. [/QUOTE]
