Wow, interesting thread, Linus.
I. For one, have always had a problem with the Walmart chain. Coming from an Island at the time it became popular there, I have seen so many Mom & Pop stores have to close there doors. Many of them, to which I loved and supported. These little stores, always had things that you could never find in big commerical stores. They were geared at helping the local economy and people who had beautiful items to sell.
Now mind you, I am not, and I repeat not a "name brand person". But I do have my favorites when it comes to house hold items. Brawny, Hefty, rubbermaid, charmin, and a few more.
When times are hard, I buy the generic brands, but I am always complaining about how cheap they are and revert back to buying my favorite brands.
There are some generic brands that are just as good, some even better, I. must say. But once again, the selling of cheaper versus name brands always gets my blood boiling. I would rather pay for the name brand, and not worry about my trash dripping from the house to the front yard, then get 50 extra generic brands that I have to practically use 3 so it won't break. And to see the Mom and Pop stores close here in Texas is even heart breaking. I go to these stores because I try to support them also. I have seen little barber shops close because they cannot compete with the major chains, the major chains don't bother to know how your family is, if you got a job promotion or even want to know about how your cat is doing. ~shakes head~ I will have to say that Walmart is EVIL!
I have so much more to say, but right now. Im mad.
