I've always had a problem with Wal-Mart, and the problem is when things likethis get too big, they start to redefine how things progress and then competition either has to play by those rules or perish. WM ships more jobs overseas for cheap production and more people are out of work since for every 2 jobs they create, 3 are lost decimating the local economies that they advertise they're helping. The comments on the wages and what they consider full-time is atrocious. If competing companies don't follow that lead, they'll be out, leaving people with less choice and, by default, reaffirming the leader and all of its tactics. I don't mind saving money, but the question truly comes down to 'cheaper, but at what cost?' Before we completely lose the choice of *how* we buy, we should at least know the facts behind the "Always Low Prices".
