Wal-mart started as a small store. What differentiated it was the owner, Sam Walton, got off his ass and made deals. Your average mom-and-pop store does not want to do that. It wants to sit on its ass and enjoy the markup because its customers can't drive 90 miles to get better deals. A lot of the whining about Wal-Mart is simply the combined hue of the lazy + the leftists. It's certainly not coming from W-M workers or customers. It comes from professors and other useless eaters.
