IS WAL*MART GOOD FOR AMERICA?[right][snapback]38304[/snapback][/right]
People shop at Wal-mart because of the savings. They get excited about only having to stop at one store for everything they need.
Drive by a Target, K-Mart, and a Wal-mart. Wal-mart builds a parking lot 5x the size of the store. Wal-mart always has a 3x as many shoppers as the other two mentioned.
What those bargain hunters fail to realize is when all the K-Marts go under (and they are struggling), and Target goes under, grocery stores have to close because they can no longer compete.......Is Wal-mart still going to be such a bargain?
Wal-mart wants to be the only place anybody needs. When there is no
competition there is no need to keep prices low. They can charge $10.00 for a gallon of milk if they want and if you need it, you will have to pay it.
Wal-mart buys in such bulk and strikes up mega "deals" with suppliers other stores just can't compete.
NO! Wal-mart is NOT good for America.
