Walmart loses in Inglewood, CA
The city of Inglewood said a big ol' "NO" to Walmart. Personally, I think it's great a community rallied together and rejected a big coporate conglomerate like Walmart - particularly after Walmart bypassed the usual route of trying to establish its 180,000 square foot superstore by taking an unprecedented route of going to the people of Inglewood instead of the city.
Sure, people need jobs, and working for a little better than minimum wage at a company like Walmart outdoes not working at all. But Walmart would also be putting out of business many small stores that have been in the city for a long time.
Very interesting...
