3. Good. Maybe folks will start going to other stores and |
|
find out how much better they are than Wally World - both in customer service and merchandise (and for not that MUCH more).

12. Maybe none in the disaster area, but I'm sure |
|
there are other stores besides Wally Worlds to go to.
Besides, I was being obtuse. I just hate Wal-Mart and relish in any bad thing that befalls them. Not very Christian of me, I'm sure, but I can't help it.

16. They were barely getting paychecks when the Walmarts were open. |
|
Certainly not a living wage.

The lizards are looking for you. I can totally understand why you would want to avoid them, however.

26. Gotta look at the 'bright side' |
|
Once the wallop of gas/oil prices hit, they wouldn't have been able to afford to run the place anyway (that and the lack of customers and/or increase of shoplifters probably wouldn't help)
