I grew up in a small town in East Texas. We had 2 grocery stores and a fairly vibrant downtown area. Closest stores of significance were about 15 miles away. Then Wal-Mart came to town. Many of the downtown businesses dried up and one grocery store closed. And guess what became of the Wal-Mart? It's boarded up now!!! Killed competition and opened a store in another town!! They built a "super center" near where I live now. My wife who has many years experience in retail (with a large chain of grocery stores) decided to apply there. The wage they offered was an insult!! Kids off the street would be payed almost as much and they offered her only enough hours so she would'nt be eligible for benefits!! I shopped there for a brief time after it opened, but got tired of 30 registers and only 6 of them open. A lot of 300 pounders in this store! Haven't been to Wal Mart in 4 years and hope I never have to again. We are lower middle income but will pay a little more to avoid Wal Mart at all costs!!
