You also don't seem to live in a town of > 200,000 people and 5 Walmarts (and a Sams). They have opened where other grocery stores are located, all stores that were doing well prior to the placement of the Walmarts. We lost 3 chains (about 8 stores) and are about to lose a 4th. Walmart has now eliminated all it's competition by bullying neighborhoods and bribing counties and protection groups. We could also discuss their hiring practices. Practically no one in their stores is given fulltime hours or benefits. So I pay in taxes to support the employees who have to get medicaid which makes the $.88 cent jar of pickles they sell me cost quite a bit more. I spent 3 years studying Walmart. It's not the same company Sam started.

This group obviously has a bias but interesting none-the-less http://wakeupwalmart.com/facts/
