Walmart has been setting the trend along with many of the other major power houses for a while now. With Best buy leading right now in the electronics department, and walmart and target with almost everything else you can possibly immagine.

McDonalds and small business

Oh, before McDonalds they had these small greasy spoons and a tired waitress running around and she had to remember all the prices and be able to figure the tax using pencil and paper. In these small restaurants you had mostly older, experienced workers, as kids could not understand the work and found it tedious as well.

McDonalds came in with their computers and the young help just hit "hamburger" to run things up. They did not need to know math. AND GUESS WHAT? McDonalds could not only afford to give everybody uniforms, BUT THEY ALWAYS PAID THE MINIMUM WAGE. Something most small stores were in doubt about. Plus, McDonalds bought and built their own stores and paid for gigantic signs over head. The small restaurants operated in run down wood buildings and mostly could not afford much in the way of signs. ARE THOSE SUPPOSED TO BE THE GOOD OLD DAYS?

Walmart is Awesome!

Walmart got to their current size by trying to push rices lower in order to help middle class and poor people. Other small businesses (mom and pop stores) haven't cared about us enough to lower their prices so, why should we shop with them? When Walmart starts to raise prices above that of mom and pop stores, then I'll shop somewhere else.

Walmart rocks!

I love Walmart, it's actually affordable! And you can shop for lots of different things in the same store. It's one place you don't feel like your getting ripped off. Most other stores you have to wait for at least a 50% off sale to get a decent price! Thanks Walmart!
