It is a win/win situation
2 cents about Walmart
interestingly enough super walmart opened its doors here a few years ago. I talked to managers of local grocery stores and they said their business dropped the first quarter but it has been better than ever since.
Why? Walmart has shoddy meat and vegetable products, staff is under trained (I mean who stacks an entire palette of peaches on top of each other?)
Wait line averages 20 min to 1/2 hour per till and the shelves are never stocked.
Many blame the oil boom we are having (move to ND BTW if you need a good job w/ good wages) But then why do all the other grocery stores still have average wait times and their shelves are always stocked?
BTW Kmart and Target started doing better once Super walmart moved in.
It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination
