I believe in competition, but I also hate to see small town America die.

I dont shop at Walmart, and I won't til they force me to.

I use Ace Hardware for my hardware.
I use local growers for my garden stuff.
I use the thrift for my clothes.
I use Dollar General for my junk.
I use a Warehouse Market for my food.

Yall can do what you like, I am supporting the dwindling COMPETITION.

Also, some of us don't have a choice, as I mentioned one reason is Wal-Mart has less expensive prices than most if not every supermarket around. I don't drive, so I personally have no way to get to to all establishments. I am not one to go shopping alone, anyway... unless I absolutely have to at some point.

I worked at Wal-Mart for four years. I loved working there. The reason I quit was because of too much management. I worked in night stock. One tell you this way, another tells you this way, one tells you that way. I was getting tired of setting up the same item ten times a night. I had other work to get done.

I work at a hotel now. I have been there three years. I also started my own webhosting company. I am having fun in the Lord!!! :D

Wonderful, Eric. :lol:

There is a Wal-Mart, literally in each town [west and east] of where I used to live in Massachusetts. Not to mention about another half dozen across southeastern Massachusetts (none on Cape Cod) southeast of I-95.
