The reason Wally World is so popular is because of their low prices. They are low because of their business practices. A town just south of where I am, voted down letting a Wall-Mart build there, along with a Pork Plant. They didn't want the extra traffic and people in their little jerk water town. They said if they let the 2 commercial businesses in there they would have to improve the Schools and Fire and Police depts, and would have a bunch of new houses being built all over the place. They just want to keep their small town atmosphere. The corker is they have been complaining for sometime that their taxes are to high. The WM here pays over a Million Dollars a year in taxes, each. That would go a long way in reducing taxes I would think.
As long as people will trade low prices for merchandise, as to quality of labor issues. Wal-Mart will continue their practices.
