Hmmm, this brings 2 things to mind.
Jeff Dunham talking about how rude wal-mart greeters are, and an episode of southpark where Wal-mart takes over the world. Sad thing is, its 100% true. people there are rude, and get upset when you ask them for help, especially in electronics, but you need the help because EVERYTHING is locked up, thats why theyre there. And that does happen with the smaller businesses. Luckily, I work at a mom-n-pop pet shop kinda thing, and we have all of the high end dog and cat supplies that Wal-mart wouldnt dare touch, because it costs too much money. So little things like that will not be going anywhere.
