I Hate Wal-Mart

I hate Wal-Mart. They claim low prices, but many studies have shown that while they might have the lowest low price on one item, many others are not priced lower than competing retailers. Middle America lives on Wal-Mart and I feel that the company preys on these consumers (me included) to simply shop there and assume that their prices are the lowest. That's not always the case. In fact, it is not the case a lot. Also, their stores are depressing. Walk into a Wal-Mart after going to Target and you'll see what I mean.

I hope they go out of business, but they are simply too big to do that.
