Beyond grocery shopping I've bought things online from WalMart that the local store didn't carry, had it delivered to the store and jusr ran by to pick it up.

Many people say operations like WalMart have hurt the small local stores and that's probably true at times but the small local store has to offer something WalMart can't just as the bricks and mortar store has to offer what the internet can't.

When Sears first began sending out mail order catalogs the local shopkeepers hated Sears for breaking the grip of local suppliers on the rural communities.
But soon enough that model was copied just like sales on the internet have become the norm.

WalMart and me have an affair of the wallet not the heart.
