I hate Wal-Mart haters

#1 Target isn’t that great

For all those who think Target is so much better than Wal-Mart - it isn’t. It’s all in what you pay for. Wal-Mart may have lower quality items, but they’re also less expensive. Target stores may be slightly cooler, but not all the time. I’ve seen nice Wal-Mart’s and I’ve seen trashy Target stores. As far as clothing goes, Wal-Mart so beets Target. The clothing at Wal-Mart is ten times better than that found at Target.


#2 Local businesses are not going to come to an end

There will always be people like my aunt who would rather die than walk into a Wal-Mart. True, local businesses are hurt buy nationwide chains, but think about it – say your local photo-shop looses money because Wal-Mart has a photo section. Well you may be loosing money, but you’re also saving money by shopping for your groceries at the Wal-Mart grocery centre. Now this doesn’t work in all cases, but just get my point that the economy is not going to come to an end when Wal-Mart moves into your town.


#3 politicians are so dumb [well obviously]

Politicians will do seemingly anything to stop Wal-Mart. In the county where I live, both the cities and the county have decided not to allow Wal-Mart to build here. So what is Wal-Mart planning on doing? Building on the reservation. Now our county will still have a Wal-Mart, but we won’t have the taxes from it. In addition to all this, we will have to pay to upgrade all the county roads out to the reservation. All of this is so stupid. Just let Wal-Mart build in town.
