The news media isn't creative enough to make it up. They're spoon-fed these stories from the retail clerks union who HATES Walmart because they're non-union.

It's important to realize that LA County is big.

Stolen from Wikipedia: "At 4,083 square miles (10,570 km2), it is larger than the combined areas of the states of Rhode Island and Delaware."

From Lancaster to Long Beach, it's almost 100 miles.

I know, right? Seriously, who wants to spend $2 on a bottle of Windex when they could spend $3? That sort of frugality is just pointless. Down with Wal*Mart!

With gas at $4 a gallon, you'll spend the extra $1 just driving to Walmart. It's not worth it.

Here's the Yelp reviews for the Panorama City Walmart. One star ratings all around! Walmart - North Hills - Panorama City, CA

Walmarts grocery department is actually very expensive compared to the ethnic markets. The produce at Walmart is outrageous!

That depends on how far away from one you are...

My point had nothing to do with proximity.

People seem to forget we have those handy 99 Cent Only Stores here in LA that are frequently cheaper than Walmart.
