On A Lighter Note…

in General

This guy is complaining about Wal-Mart. I like Wal-Mart, especially the really big stores.

He writes:

Why do people shop at these behemoths, when they know full well that they are driving out of existence small businesses owned and operated by their neighbors, employing other neighbors?

They shop because of price, and they are forced to do so by the declining standard of living we have offered working people for more than a generation. People who work for minimum wage, with little or no benefits, who cannot afford to fix their car or their kids’ teeth have no choice but to search out the lowest price.

So searching out the lowest price is a bad thing?

I enjoy shopping for things to fill my little abode, and I really like browsing in Office Depot for home office supplies. I don’t know anyone who likes doing this as much as I do, so I guess I’m in the minority here, too!
