Default Orvis + Wal-Mart = Angry local shopkeep

I don't believe I've ever been in a Wal-mart before (I just assumed
it was like a giant K-mart) since there isn't one anywhere nearby. If
people dislike them so much, why do they shop there?

Your correct, they are a large K-mart. In part, WM has become a one stop
shop, they carry most everything the average person needs at a reasonable
price (quality is another issue). I see many people drive in for an oil
change, do their odds and ends shopping and pickup the groceries required
for the week. Personally, not my bag. It comes down to convenience.
I am not so sure "most" people don't see what WM does. They moved in and the
K-mart and Rite Aid down the block both went out of business....
