I think that's part of the Wal-Martization of, well, everything. When
I was a kid it was unthinkable that one day people would buy shoes,
pork chops, guinea pigs and tires at the same place. Wal Mart is
grinding the personality of the country to death under its gigantic
foot. Everything is all about cheap now. Not quality or variety or
concern for local communities or businesses.
