Many people do not realize just how terrible shopping at Wal-mart is. It's my job to tell them.
Every dollar NOT spent at Wal-mart has incredibly positive results for our community.
Ignoring the issue has incredibly negative results for our community.
Battle picked - the consequences of this one are just too big to ignore.
I understand your passion Scooter,and everybody has heard your cry, and I do not dispute your points.
As stated above I would approximate that 60 to 75% of So-wal population wont be shopping at this particular Wal-Mart, or at least they say they wont.
Now my issue is the tourist, they WILL shop there. Period. Not all of them but most will.
So What will you do? Stand at the intersection of 331 and 98 on Saturdays advising each and every one not to shop there because of_____________________, or the entrance of Mid Bay Bridge?
And also here is a thought, a lot of people may already know the "evils" of Wal-Mart and not care, or just flat out dont want to be educated.
I mean really, this Wal-Mart IS being built AS WE SPEAK. This Wal-Mart WILL have profits.
It is what it is.
I mean no harm here, Im simply suggesting that all this energy be poured into something that is useful. Because as far as I and a lot of others are concerned, this issue is a dead horse.
