i try the best i can to buy locally. but sometimes you just can't. these small businesses can barely compete with this huge places. hell, even KB toys is closing, and thats a chain store (actually, a lot of small chain stores are getting eaten alive. waldenbooks was having a lot of problems when i left)

Anyways, Sam Walton was a genious. It's a shame that he's dead and that the current people who run sam's club don't have the same values that he did. Fair wages/benefits and buying american are things of the past, as far as walmart goes.

There was a special on Walmart on CNBC the past couple of days. Pretty interesting stuff. All that stuff was in that special. Amazing you don't see or hear the other side of them.
Now they are opening up Walmarts in Asia.
