I like to see how pissed off the elitist left gets when people exercise there freedom to shop at walmart. As usual, they want to use the government as a weapon to force others to think like them and curb in the retailer. Congratulations to WalMart for bringing retail efficiency, which benefits everyone, to China.

Brian: Take a good look around, quality has gone down everywhere. Walmart is no worse and, in some cases, is even better than the competition. As an example, Consumer Report magazine tested bathroom tissue. Charmin Ultra got first place for softness but was not recommended for use with septic systems. Walmart's White Cloud store brand tested almost as soft and breaks down better in septic systems and it costs less. Guess which one I'm buying now. In fact, I'm testing their other store brand products against the well known higher priced products that I had been buying. I went into Walmart yesterday to buy three things that I couldn't get where I normally shop for groceries. I came out with a cartful. We don't have a Walmart superstore here, but they do have a few groceries. Why should I pay over $4 for 64 oz. Welche's grape juice when I could get it for $2.79? What's the difference in quality? It's the same product at either store. The bottom line is MY bottom line. I'm not rich, but I do look for quality as well as price. I'm going to buy where I find both and I don't care if the store does look like a box. Maybe it's cheaper to build a store that looks like a box and helps keep their prices down.

Hey, I'd go for a Walmart funeral. What little money is left when I go, I'd much rather see go to my kids than to some blood-sucking, over-priced funeral home. Thanks for suggesting it.

"If you think about it, is there really much of anything that Wal-Mart couldn't provide...." Let's start with quality.

Sounds like fantastic news. No one deserves WalMart more than the Chinese. Dave
