Right decision...wrong reason.
It should have something to do with all the mom & pop stores and small bussiness owners that have not been able to keep their doors open because of wally mart.
Back when there was still small marts and there was not groceries, and 35 departments that are actually small store, in the big wally marts.
There was a whole big giant bunch of other jobs, butchers, hardware stores, grocery marts, shoe stores, pharmacies, etc.etc..
Next it will become like the health care crap, and we will not have a choice where we shop!
I live in a typical medium size town that has a wally world super store. The local mom and pop stores years ago learned to adapt to a new marketing strategy to survive. Yes, some places slowly died out, but other places adapted , and survived. You can't beat wally world,but you can do things different than they do, and make it..
For instance, the local hardware store thrives just fine, giving professional servive, and providing things that wally world doesn't sell. Other stores found their niche, and did ok.
Point being, it is possible to survive as a business , next to wally world. A person just has to find a product or servive, and provide it beter than wally world. it can be done. People need to quit belly aching about wally world, and get on with their lives. if they don't like the store, support a local mom and pop business. No one makes you shop at wally world.
