Super centers

This trend in America is something that can easily be stopped by the consumers. You just have to have some self-control and refuse to shop at the stores you think are having negative effects on your community. I personally haven't been inside a Wal-Mart in about 5 years. I don't necessarily care that they drive other businesses out because I think that is the beauty of a capitalistic society, but their stuff is crap, period. If smaller stores want to be taken seriously they have to learn how to compete. To deny a store its right to open just because it will hurt other stores would be denying their constitutional rights.

i do too. We are just getting one up the road and they are closing the old regular walmart down.

What smaller businesses? They were doing signs like that here when one super center wanted to came in. Stating it would run out the small groceries. We don't have any. The only ones that are here are the straight ethnic ones which the super centers aren't going to hurt. So yes I'm for the super centers. They bring in more jobs, lower prices and competition between them and the other chain stores.

The supercenters are a conumdrum. They save on money but the workers as in Wal-Mart are taken advantage of.

F*ck the super centers trying to push small businesses out of the way at all costs!

Yeah, it is annoying. I like that South Park episode about Wal Mart taking over the world.

ahhhhh yep I see where you are coming from.. Here in New Zealand they have a place called "The Warehouse" Its pretty much cheaper than the Retailers etc.. It makes MILLIONS!! Very similar to "Target" Most Retailers here wont BUDGE and they still do reasonably well but "The Warehouse" takes the Cake.
