If you, or Hercules, don't like Wal-Mart, then...just don't shop there!
What Hercules did was steal Wal-Mart's land (gee, thanks, Supreme Bozos). Had WM been able to build on it, the store would have brought in new business around it. Instead, they'll build out of town an Interstate exit and suck the town dry.
I don't!
Tried it a couple of times, bought a digital camera there, then when it needed a battery they did not carry them.
Typical of them, they have no real concern with customer service.
If you read the entire article you should have noticed that WM insisted on a building far larger than the zoning ordinance allowed, again typical of their corporate conceit.
Locally the county commissioners spent three million on land improvements to entice WM into our county, sweetening the deal with a decade of tax deferments.
Now our "down town" is being talked about as an area in need of "redevelopment".
Prior to WM it was healthy.
The pols whore for WM because all they really care about is the sales tax revenue to grow their bureaucracies.
