Typically, every new Walmart store (especially the SuperCenters) shuts down enough local businesses so that there’s a net loss in available jobs in the community.And when Walmart shuts its own doors, that’s a community that’s screwed twice.

walmart….the waltons getting wealthier and their employees are on public aid. 25 checkout lanes, 2 cashiers. the worst are florida walmart shoppers. those people do some crazy florida actions.
