Don't you think the public deserves some of the blame for the slaughter?
If the
shopping public had decided they were willing to support locally owned and
operated businesses regardless of price, the Wal-marts and Home Depots
would
have dissolved rather than the local guy.
The funny thing is that the prices at WM are NOT always cheaper. But, the
advertising has lulled the sheep into a deep sleep. To add to the hypnosis,
many Wal Mart stores don't post unit pricing stickers on everything. In my
only two trips to the WM grocery department, I noticed that about half the
items didn't have unit prices displayed, or any price at all. After checking
out, I found that about 1/3 of the items were priced the same or above what
the nearby supermarket charged. I never went back. WM *expects* you to
blindly believe. Only fools do that.
