Satan comes in different forms.

DevilMart. Has a nice ring to it…..

Low prices often means low quality : you think to make a deal but in reality you consume more product, detergents for example (my experience), and therefore you spend more.

Obviously this is going to be an unpopular POV here, but there’s a flip side to the “WalMart is the work of Satan” screed, and it’s this: a lot of us are just too damn poor. My own family scrapes by on the pittance my wife gets paid as a special needs teacher, and we live in one of the nation’s most expensive states. The alternative to buying at a place like WalMart is not having the goods at all, or not paying my rent; it certainly isn’t paying the grossly inflated prices of the boutique stores on Main Street in this college town.

They sell at loss prices but make it up in volume, right?

Those are the prices until the family businesses to under. Then the prices to up…. The devil is in the details.

Sold!

Swillmart, here we come.

To good to be true. Beware!

Good Lord, this guy is Harold Hill!

“Those are the DEVIL’S Prices!” Sounds a lot like that crazy lady in the Palm Beach County Meeting a couple of weeks back. Let me assure you, the Devil does NOT provide diapers. I was MARRIED to her and she wouldn’t even go to the store! Baddum bum – tss!

Ruby Kilgore is a really well-rendered character. I’ll bet she can be a pain sometimes, but I like her.

I wouldn’t drive on those tires, even in 1994.

Wasn’t hard to win over Ed.

sounds like she hass been scammed before.

Kind of matches the low wages they will pay.

Those prices will remain in effect until the small Locally Owned stores go Bankrupt.

Then, they will go UP because “It’s the Only Damned Store Left In Town”.

Those are 1960’s prices.
