We had a Super K-mart here. When I found a pot roast in sporting goods, I wondered if they'll throw it out or return it to it's cooler. Odds are it was returned to the meat coolers. That was the last time I shopped for groceries there. Wal*mart has since caused the K*mart and two other bigger retailers to close their stores and even bought the K*mart site to expand. There is now very little choice but to patronize Wal*marts endless Made in China supply. Most of the workers are either older people supplimenting a pension or teen agers looking for a few dollars to spend. Either way, you cannot make a living on a Wal*mart salary.

I assume people are making it on a Wal-Mart salary, the question is what kind of living? People work at convience stores, fast food joints, etc. It may not be our style of 'living' but....btw, I learned last night that China is responsible for only 12% of our imports, Canada is the highest. Go figure.
