People should not shop at WalMart, period. Once they drive out all competition, look out. Now we see that not only are they impacting food stores, hardware stores, now we see they are trying to drive toys R Us out of business.

What's funniest about this article, however, is the decription of Fond du lac as a 'lakeside resort town'. NOT.

But, in historical context, ToysRUs ran the traditional, mall based old-line department stores out of the toy business a few years ago. They were, at that time, considered a category killer. Once they drove out the competition, they got fat and lazy. If WalMart does the same, new competition will be generated.
