RE: [QUAD-L] Wal-Mart

[Greg]

Yes, cheap prices and having everything in one place is great. But I don’t mind paying a bit extra to keep the family run local stores in business. The mom and pop book store, the local bike shop. They just can’t compete. I like going to places like The Tempe Mills Mall. An outside street strip of cool little shops. If Walmat went in, all those places would close down. Plus, it doesn’t always mean closer. I think it was “4” grocery stores close in a neighborhood where Walmart goes in. Sure it’s capitalism, but the wrong kind. Plus it’s just a bad place. It use to be only American made stuff (or close to it.) Now it seams to be a sweat shop. Low wages, low insurance, undocumented workers. Greg       Cheap prices, everything under one roof.  Guess I'm missing something.  You WANT to pay higher prices for local labor?  You LIKE driving all over for your weekly supplies?
