Why take it personally?
Do we want all the brick and motor stores to close and let Amazon completely control our purchases?

I think there’s a lot that could be done for theft deterrence that many stores don’t want to do. As I mentioned earlier having uniformed police is a big one that’s proven to work. Instead ours has private security that’s either a fat slobby woman or an ancient old man that drive around in a truck with flashing lights. Watch out thieves!

Only thing I've ever bought in Walmart is tallow for fries. Not a Walmart fan since they pay so little a lot of workers are on food stamps.

I’m not a fan either, but there’s certain stuff that they are the best source for locally. Normally we hit Walmart for a few things, a local farm to market grocery store for produce, a local butcher for chicken and pork (we buy beef in bulk), and maybe Whole Foods for fish or misc.

Ours pays $14/hr to start per their banner by the door. That’s not much but it’s better than fast food for our local market.
