Where I live, if you don't like Wal Mart, there's always Target, Fred Meyer, various department stores, and several mom and pop stores. Wal Mart hasn't driven anyone out of business around here. I don't shop there because I think their products are crap and their stores are an overcrowded mess.
The store near me is an overcrowded mess but the groceries are so cheap I can overlook that fact. The employees are nice too. I think they do so much business they cannot keep up.
"their stores are an overcrowded mess."
LOL, uh maybe cause that's indictative of the area you live in? WalMart there can't get any good help to manage that particular store?
