It deserves the exposure.<br />I live in a very small town, run by the "good ol' boys" who all decided that the proposed Wal-Mart would be detrimental to the small business owners in town. Wal-Mart went to another town. We now drive 75 miles round trip to go to W-M. Oh, and the small businesses? Well, one of their own sold some very valuable land for mega bucks so they could have a by-pass for the snow traffic. The by-pass is right across from the hated Starbucks and Round Table Pizza. Downtown, is loaded with empty stores, and a thriving bar. <br />I will drive however far I have to to shop at W-M because I know how our pension was earned!!!! trailbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06830065132795330618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774510750415512728.post-59993094005227094872012-11-23T22:34:45.308-05:002012-11-23T22:34:45.308-05:00Okay.

And many of them despise Wal-Mart and "Big Oil", and want to tax "the rich", are economically more illiterate than the "rubes" they think shop at Wal-Mart! <br /><br />Every time I saw the t-shirt makers, the word "bigot" was the only thing that came to mind. <br /><br />Poor Target gets picked on from both sides. Conservatives used to boycott them for their pro-abortion bias, but recently, some on the left were upset because Target had contributed to some anti-gay candidate! <br /><br />http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/2010/08/target-cant-catch-break.html<br /><br />Mike aka Proofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08931553845065187278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774510750415512728.post-80608118486789001832012-11-23T21:05:54.407-05:002012-11-23T21:05:54.407-05:00This afternoon I posted "Quit picking on Walm...This afternoon I posted "Quit picking on Walmart." While doing my research, I discovered that ShopKo and Target pay their employees less, while their prices have skyrocketed. <br /><br />When Walmart came to our small town, one tiny little hardware store closed up. The other one, a locally owned Ace, has added a large addition. Walmart didn't hurt them. Want to know why? They knew the only thing they had that was different was service - and it is beyond outstanding. Many times I'll buy at Ace for just that reason. <br /><br />Those T-shirt makers were despicably ignorant. <br /><br />BTW - I'll be 67 next month and I just secured a job doing food demo's at local grocery store for 4 hours three days per week. I have two college degrees (science and business) and I like my job just fine. It adds $500.00 per month to our medical tourism account which I think we may need in the near future.
