Ihave quite a few Wal-Marts within 25 miles to choose from..
Ihave quite a few Wal-Marts within 25 miles to choose from. However, I typically shop at one local Wal-Mart. I only gothere approximately once a week to do some of my food shopping. I have done thehomework and compared my local grocery stores to Wal-Mart and found that onaverage Wal-Mart can be anywhere from $0.25-1.00 cheaper per item. Multiply thatby your whole shopping order, and you aresaving quite a few pennies. However,I limit my shopping at Wal-Mart to strictly food and household products. I feelthe quality of many other items just isn t up to par. In many cases, I don tbuy my produce there either, on far too many occasions the quality of the food has been wrong.Oneof my huge issues with Wal-Mart, at everyopportunity, is the lack of check out lines open. Typically, there are3-4 lines open with at least ten peoplein each line. It is quite ridiculous. Fifteen years ago, my brother worked atWal-Mart and made an amazingly low wage of $7.00 per hour; now, fifteen yearslater, according to him, Wal-Mart is paying their associates $8.23 per hour.That is not much of an increase over the course of fifteen years. Aconglomerate as large as Wal-Mart could afford to pay the employees a higherwage. I mean fifteen year, come on. However, on the flip side, the fact thatthey pay their associates such a low rate allows Wal-Mart to be worth so much.But hey, it s business, right?
