"If Wal-Mart had a better selection, I suppose it would be OK to run old mom and pop stores out of business, but they really stink in the food selection areas."

If that were truly the case, I doubt Wal-Mart could run them out. It may be true they don't carry the brands you like in certain things, but apparently, they carry the brands a great many people want.

Thats true, and it is not always pleasant. Around here, they cater to the huge "immigrant" population. I'm sick of the cheap brands showing up on shelves as the only choice.

If those people wanting to save money do not mind sub-standard fare, thats fine. Some of us like our canned green beans without rocks and stems, and would like a place to buy them!

I dont think the question is Why the war againts Wal-Mart? I say why the rabid defense?
