I do very little shopping at Wall Mart! I live in a small town and all of the small businesses have just about closed up! WE owned a small country store for 26 years and sold a lot of hunting clothes and boots. also a lot of fishing equipment! We sold out 2 years ago and retired, but I feel that they have run a lot of small family business out . a;so, I saw a special on how little the sewers of their clothes make on PBS. 12.00 a day while they make more than that on one pair of jeans. The small business is what made this country great and now they are becoming a thing of the past. We are slowly watching our small town die. also, workers do not get paid enough for working there. Most are paid minimum wage. Barely enough to live. I know they are cheaper on some things and every penny counts these days. but shop other places when I can.
