You Must stop going to WalMart. ! I went to my small neighborhood local grocer (I will keep its name secret)here in Baton Rouge, and bought bread, hot dog buns, the shelves were full. Bought steaks, bacon, and hot dogs. Bought milk and ice cream, even strawberry jam. And a bottle of wine. 3 registers open with the manager/owner doing the bagging. One person in front of me, A wonderful time. Stop going into Wal Marts! They SUCK!

Great post, I agree. Walmart located itself just inside or outside medium sized cities and/or highways and killed off so many small charming mom and pop shops. Don't blame just the "poors" for this, everybody went their because at first it was bright, open 24 hours with parking and a greeter. Heck Donald Trump shopped at K-Mart (a competitor, same idea, though).

Anyone who has taken a business class at the college level will learn about different "types" of business and one is is the "low cost provider". The best example, Sprint and Frontier airlines. Crap service. Crap planes. Dicking you about every little thing, but hey, I saved five bucks on my six hour flight! I'll just ignore I now need lower back surgery from the seat! Same with WalMart, crap place, but hey, toilet paper is a little bit cheaper!

Support local businesses!
