I buy things like motor oil at Walmart cuz I have no choice.

They have the big 5-qt jobbies and they’re cheapest.

I worked for a manufacturer once who sold to walmart.

I saw the PO’s.

Other companies, best discount, about 8% off regular manuf. price.

Walmart - 15% off.

No way anyone is competing with that.

Walmart has replaced what otherwise would be literally thousands of smaller stores.

Retail is shot.

I used to in retail back in the ‘80s; retail is toast.

Thanks new world order, for consolidating everyone out of a job.

Hate to tell you, but it’s customers that killed small businesses. They CHOSE to go for cheaper, lesser quality items in lieu of more expensive, better quality items.

Walmart is just a business, not the anti-Christ.
