"Yup bubba, thank gawd for Walmart, despite they drove the small mom and pop shops out of business, coerced their suppliers to outsource to China "or else", put the workers who used to have higher paying and respectable jobs a pay cut and fewer benefits than what they had before."
"You got thaaat raaght Jeb. Cuz small shops are liberal commie havens! Say you got ten bucks for gas?"
"Nawp, gotta do a double at Wal-mart for that."
...
It still amazes me to think that folks actually LIKE going to Wal-mart. But morals are totally void in our society now. Replaced by the almighty dollar. Sad.
Ya ever work for a mom and pop? What kinda benefits did ya get?
A true conversation I had with my boss, Pop, when I was a young man.
Whogo: Pop, I need health insurance my wife is pregnant.

Fortunately, I'm reasonably close to a Costco. Never felt the desire to shop at Walmart. Costco has better quality, competitive prices, and pay a decent wage.
As of March 2011, non-supervisory hourly wages ranged from $11.00 to $21.00 in the United States, $11.00 to $22.15 in Canada, and £6.28 to £10.50 in the United Kingdom. In the US, eighty-five percent of Costco's workers have health insurance, compared with less than fifty percent at Walmart and Target.

Locust turned out in droves at malls and big-box stores around the country to hand piles and piles of money hand-over-fist to evil rich white devils and foreign manufacturers and they did so on credit so that they'll be paying for all of those items twice.
The lack of critical thinking of people who give these kind of responses surprise me.
"Overall, median income is 7.2 percent below its December 2007 level and 8.1 percent below where it stood in January 2000, when it was $55,470, according to the report."
Unfortunately, I agree. I just got back from Black Friday shopping and spent about 1/2 of what I spent last year. The deals weren't there.
