Another reason I don't go there is the crowd in there means more sick people around me and gobs of sick people use their pharmacy. Those sick people are also coughing and touching their shopping carts plus so many kids in the store means more sickness - I do myself a favor and stay out of germs/viruses and my body thanks me.
The economics study I saw said that when WalMart comes to town, the effect is similar to everyone in town getting a 10% raise.
This comes both lower prices at WalMart and competition forcing prices down everywhere.
Being retired, I have little trouble shopping at off hours, and the 10% is certainly a bonus.

Just because one gay guy is selling himself in the men’s room at one store is no reason to avoid the entire chain. I read about a case where an illegal (employed by the store) raped a woman in an Albertson’s supermarket. Is this a reason to never go to any Albertson’s?
Keep that up, and there won’t be any stores you can go to...
