[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]🙄 rich person discovers Wal-Mart. Literally millions of people shop there. Do you really think this is news?[/quote] I’m not rich and I have no interest in shopping at Walmart. They’ve destroyed too many small businesses. [/quote] I grew up in a small town (not rich) and this was the general outlook of everyone in town when the Walmart went in on the edge of town, which really shaped my view of the company. Though 25 years later, I actually don't think they destroyed any small businesses -- the places we all thought would be threatened by the Walmart all survived. Turns out what Walmart sells actually has very little overlap with most small businesses. I think the ones that were most at risk were the local hardware and auto parts stores, and both survived. Though eventually the hardware store was put out of business by a Lowe's. Now in 2025 I am "discovering" Walmart for the first time as we go hunting for bargains thanks to price increases. I know a lot of people have shopped there for years, I just had this negative association with it that stuck I guess.[/quote] Same experience in my small town a generation ago. This “save the local business” thinking is from a time before Prime two day shipping and online shopping. Not even the big chains are immune from those market forces, let alone the little mom and pops.[/quote] Amazon is just as bad. You both must have had loyal customers in your towns for the stores to survive. Everything in Walmart is from China so who knows what will happen [/quote]
