Back in the day that Walmart arrived here, I continued to make my purchases at the stores that were here before Walmart. It was 4-5 years before I first entered Walmart only because some of those stores closed, mostly due to Walmart. My choices diminished and at some point you have little choice when the remaining competition doesn't carry what you want. I went as seldom as possible, usually 6-8 times a year. So don't lay that shit on me! About all the box stores are controlled by multinationals now.
