19. Walmart put our local Ace out of business.
It was a sad day when I went in to buy a few nails & read the closing notice.

Meanwhile, Walmart got some great tax incentives & a good deal on utility & road work, when they moved from the south end of town to their new super sized location on the north end of town. They put such restrictions on who could lease the old place, it sat vacant for four years. And this morning my husband told me that Walmart will stop paying their employees the extra $1 per hour that they have been paying when the employee works on Sundays.

Cheap, greedy bastards. I can't say that enough. Cheap, greedy bastards! And yet their parking lot is always full. :banghead:
