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.

When you're poor, ya got no choice.

I used to try to look for valvoline 5qt in small auto parts stores -they didn't carry it. what can i do. at a certain point, I just buy what I need and forget about it.

But if Walmart didnt do predatory sourcing and pricing, thousands of small stores would still be in business.

And each would have one or more private owners who were doing well, and a few managers who had decent jobs.
