“Don’t blame Walmart, they just sell groceries to shoppers, they don’t run the government.”

I think the reason Walmart started selling groceries was so they could tap into the huge welfare market.

They are the largest grocery store in America, they sell groceries.

The left bans their grocery stores from many of America’s largest cities, 10s of millions of us can’t shop at our favorite grocery store.

Even San Diego keeps them out, it why you can pay $2.29 for Tabasco sauce at Albertson’s that you pay 99 cents for at Walmart, or a can of chili for $2.79, that costs you a $1.39 at Walmart.

If there is a conspiracy, I would say that it is the left trying to control who can sell groceries, not a retailer selling them.

I don’t think so; I believe it was just a brilliant concept of one-stop shopping (where you basically fit a whole mall into a large store). Supermarkets were the last places on “Main Street” that Wal-Mart hadn’t eliminated yet.

BTW, their prices on groceries are great; shopping there stinks, but is worthwhile from a financial standpoint. Just go early, while the gibsmedats are sleeping.

You sound like a libtard when you say silly things like that...

The one and only reason Wal-mart sells groceries is because they have the buying power to undercut the other grocery chains prices...and offer their customers, welfare queens and poor taxpayers alike, a one stop shopping concept...

It's all about volume buying and leveraging their size for the best cost...
