'Super" Target' is just like 'Super" Walmart'. Not every Walmart sells groceries. Not every Target sells groceries. I remember when neither one of them did. Even when I lived in areas that had such stores nearby, I've never bought groceries from either one. Then again, I'm not driving to another state to shop at Whole Foods, either. Jill |

I learned better. MalWart is an evil evil corporation. Nothing like the vision it's founder Sam Walton had and implemented near Bentonville AR. For example, Sam used to be proud of selling only American made goods! The filthily rich capitalists quickly put and end to THAT little ideal in their ardent Worship of Mammon!! John Kuthe... |

Everyone blames Wal Mart, but the manufacturers allowed themselves to be bullied. Consumers (like you and me) demand cheaper and cheaper products and then complain they are made in China. If you can find a local seller of US made products, you are doing well by buying from them, but too many people just want cheap and they are getting it. |

They took the power away from the manufacturers and consumers and put it in the hands of the distributor. And WE the consumers allowed it because we thoufght it was giving us more value! Stupid shortsighed consumers we are! I wised up earlier than most! >Consumers (like you and me) demand cheaper and cheaper products and then >complain they are made in China.

And I freely admit I used to buy things from MalWart, until I wised up. But as I pioint out in another post, where I can I WILL seek out and pay more for a quality American made product, and I did: www.lawnchairusa.com/About-Us_ep_7.html Here's my new lawn chair, 3/29/12: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=ezfhp2&s=5#.UwYT-GJdWSo John Kuthe... |

A package of Cabot Cheese (made about 120 miles from me in the USA) is $12.99 at Stop & Shop. The same exact product at Wal Mart on the other side of the street is $8.87. With a couple of buys like that I save enough so I can take my wife out to breakfast at a local restaurant. Keep in mind also. some of our largest grocery chains are foreign owned too. While you don't want to support Bentonville, you may be supporting Germany, England, Netherlands. Stop & Shop is owned by Royal Ahold, Aldi and Trader Joes are German owned. Fresh & Easy is Tesco in the UK. |

No other retail stores sell any different products... most everything is imported because the US has very few skilled workers to make things. Even US automobiles are only assembled in the US of parts manufactured in other countries. Any clothes in any store bought off the rack are imported, but everyone is free to buy custom made, IF they are willing/able to pay the price. People pick on Walmart the same as school kids pick on the biggest kids with impunity, it's always the smallest kids who are the bullies... the people who pick on Walmart are always the smallest minded. |

OTOH, Chinese is not always bad. Those Chinese folks know how to make warm clothing. Here at 8K ft, in Icepick CO, I bought a $300 dollar "Alaskan Guide" down parka online. I returned it for not being warm enough. Instead, I bought a $20 ranch jacket and a $35 hooded parka, both Chinese made from Walmart. I can't even wear 'em if it's not cold enough out or inside a bldg, they both being too damn warm! nb |

I think the problem that arises from WW, is that they have so many other seedy practices. Paying less than a living wage, forcing many of their own employees to seek public assistance. That and their pricing practices (gobble walmart and vlasic) which DO bully manufacturers. Plus, 5 yr tax breaks that also cheat the local economy, then rebuilding elsewhere when the tax breaks dry up, etc. OTOH, most box stores do the same thing, so looking down on WW while shopping at Costco is the height of hypocrisy. nb |

They are laughing all > the way to the bank. I don't shop at Walmart. My lack of patronage doesn't hurt them in the least. When I first got here I read in the local newspaper WalMart was trying to get permission to built yet another mammoth store off HWY 21 leading to Lady's Island, which is where I shop for groceries. There was a huge public outry! Walmart lost. :-D First of all, they tried to challenge the zoning ordinances. Yes, it's listed for sale as commercial property. But it is zoned for a *small* shopping center. There is a particular "lowcountry style" of architecture here. Beaufort County does what it can to maintain the grace of it. Those plans did not include a 250,000 sq. foot BOX with a huge parking lot smack dab next to a fragile ecosystem. They would have had to fill in part of the marsh to accomodate parking and deliveries. Uh, nope! For those who *really* want to shop at WalMart, there already is one in Beaufort. You may have to drive a ways to get there. But it's there. As one guy wrote in a letter to the editor: "When every checkout stand at the existing WalMart is staffed and there are people waiting in line, THEN you can build another WalMart." Exactly! See? They can't take over the world unless we let them. Jill |

At the last church garage sale, there was a box of electrical stuff that I bought for next to nothing that had, among other things, old Leviton and GE mercury switches. I have one switch that is getting worn out, and I'm going to replace it with a mercury switch, for whisper quiet operation. --B |
