[Warning: Posting of Contact Info is not allowed. Please follow the rules.][/i];89250]you realize that walmart isn't the only store that jacks there prices like that correct? Everything we purchase is a product of money greeding bussiness people. The only time you get the close to actual price is from the producer not a retailer who has to make there money as well. Why do you think they say cut out the middle man and things will change

I do realize that is true, but thats not my main issue with the company. Its the fact that they lower the standards in other countries and force family owned businesses here to go bankrupt!

While I do agree that Walmart is a crapshoot, and the perfect example of what is wrong with big name companies sometimes it can be a good thing. For instance where I live there isn't much around. We don't have anywhere to shop for clothes, electronics and other things without driving at LEAST an hour. Not to mention the building of the Walmart in my area brought a lot of jobs when they were needed in a place where they never would have been before. It's a double edge sword.
