Still not enough. As someone who frequently shopped at Target, I doubt I'll ever go back.
Walmart has better deals.
I don't take people seriously if they complain about not having enough while shopping at places like target.
Walmart employs members of the community. They bear some of the responsibility for why our community is so prosperous.
If local stores care so much about the community, they can offer us better prices than the chains. Otherwise they're just using "buy local" as an excuse to rip people off and enrich themselves.
Edit: It's sad how clueless you people are, but it reinforces why I don't take the vast majority of you people seriously.
Keep paying more while thinking you're somehow getting a better deal.
Not only does Walmart have an enormous number of employees on government assistance, they have training classes for their employees to help them apply.
Also, a lot of the people they hire, are people who worked for, and even OWNED, small local businesses that they have run out of business. Same goes for ALL big box retailers like Lowes and Home Depot.
What makes you think a local grocery store will pay its employees more than walmart?
From my experience, all businesses are trying to maximize profit by paying their employees the least they're willing to accept. Local businesses don't pay employees more nor do they 'treat their employees better.' It's all business.
Why not?
Unfortunately, it is. It's nice to think that everybody can do their part to bring back the locally-owned places and sense of community, but you're not going to convince people living paycheck-to-paycheck who are going to always make a beeline for the cheapest prices. The only time a Wal-mart dies is when the town builds a bigger, new Wal-mart or the town itself dies altogether.
Yeah, typical useful idiot thinking it's up to the customer instead of the business owners to foot the bill for these problems.
You have no idea what you're talking about and it shows.
Yeah. The facts are clear.
The fact is I wouldn't have even moved here if there wasn't a Walmart.
The fact is, most useful idiots are proud to pay more while doing mental gymnastics to think they're getting a better deal.
The fact is, I genuinely don't respect most of your financial advice because most of you people spend money like morons while complaining you need more.
Gonna ignore you now because this isn't up for debate.
Shocking to see here, that's for sure. In the wild wearing dirty size 5X overalls, sure. But here?
Way to completely ignore the argument.
Wall mart killed your community. We used to have walkable neighborhoods, instead we've salted the earth with parking lots and bigbox stores
Capitalism is. The whole point of it is that more gets more, until everything is Monopoly. It's literally the point of the board game to show the absurdity.
I don't think it's capitalism. It's the checks and balances associated with said capitalism. The government that is supposed to regulate it, does not.
Capitalism is of course alot of things in practice, but you have to regulate it extremly hard to not get to late stage capitalism at some point.
Socialistic capitalism is the closest thing we got in the real world, and is funnily enough also the countries with best living standards and reported happiness.
No it's not.
