Quoting Stewart Stremler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
The closest thing I have to a hometown is Oak Harbor, Washington. WalMart moved in there a few years ago. Already, one grocery store has shut down (pity, as that was my favorite grocery store -- I felt like a customer there, instead of a consumer). I think the only grocery stores left in town are the chains... we'll see how the town changes in the next few years, I guess.
Hmm... from what I've seen of the Wal-Marts I've been in (and it's been awhile now since I've gone into one, I'll admit) they don't seel groceries. Sure they sell dry things like crackers, chips, and jars like pickles and I think even had a small Ice Cream area.. but they're not a replacement for a grocery store. No meat dept, no produce, etc.. But like I say.. maybe they've added that, and not in every store. -- Mike Marion-Unix SysAdmin/Staff Engineer-http://www.miguelito.org Marge: "Homer, sitting that close to the TV can't be good for you."
