| Outlet stores. As noted up the thread, the quality has gone down significantly in the last 10-20 years. They used to sell overstocked or out of season products from the primary stores. Now they mostly sell junk made directly for the outlet stores, which is mostly comprised of cheap synthetic fabrics and lower quality natural fabrics. |

| Baja fresh but I think they all closed. Very rude manager expensive and roach infesfed. Another was a Chinese restaurant a hole in the wall place. Had a roach that I watched the staff kill when I was eating. A pizza hut takeout next to a decaying immigrant heavy apartment building that staff were smoking in blunts I think. They were very rude too. If I saw a 🪳 any place I'd ban it. I'd ban two chicfilas but I'm always getting free food just because it's always bad service and the kids that work they look like they dont wash and don't speak English.. |

Curious what do they do to Arlington real estate because they're building a huge data center near me and I live in the Springfield area. |

DP. I shop with my wallet. If Amazon has what I want cheaper, I buy it from Amazon. I'm not buying, for example, a book for full listed price at a mom & pop bookstore when I can buy the same book for 40% off on Amazon. If a small business wants to survive, get a better business plan. Not my problem! |

Books are one of the things I try to always buy locally because we have local bookstores! If I lose a phone charger, though, I'll get a new one from Amazon as it will be delivered quickly and I don't see any difference between Amazon and places like Best Buy, Phone Company store, etc. |

I hope you like paying more taxes to support all those people who are so poorly paid by the likes of Amazon and Walmart that they get government services (paid by you) and don’t pay taxes (so your share is much higher). I hope you like a stunted local economy so your neighbors can’t find jobs and therefore have to rely on government help to pay for their rent and food (which you have to pay for through higher taxes and again have to pay a higher share of the local taxes to educate their children). |

We support Walmart. They treat their employees well. We had an employee's Mom who worked the overnight crew at Walmart for many years. Due to a personal situation she could not work for a month and was unable to call out to her job. Walmart took her back after the month.
Amazon does not treat their drivers well. In my area the drivers have to spend their time and gas to drive to the Amazon distribution center each morning to see if they have a route for the day. i.e. You don't have a dedicated job or route. |

Another reason I support Walmart is they promote those with only high school education to good pay manager jobs in the range of $200,000 - $250,000. They also promote from within. This is really good pay for someone with a high school education. |

| I am way more into Walmart these days. I was a ride or die Target shopper (but I'm also from Minnesota and we love our Target!). I no longer live in NOVA, I'm out west, and Target stores out here are...not nice. They're a mess and there just not convienent for me. Walmart is closer, they have better prices and I hate admitting this, but I kinda like their clothes... |

Isn't business in business to provide a service people want? |
