My mom, sister and I have a running joke going about Wal-Mart. I send them the 'People of Wal-Mart' emails, and the articles on poor employee relations without benefits, cheap Chinese goods entering the market and destroying local jobs, and most importantly forever changing the variety, and value of main streets around the world. You should have seen me Thursday afternoon at the Super Wal-Mart in Winnemucca, or at least the look on my face when I realized I could buy EVERYTHING I needed from one store. Regardless of a company's background, people vote with their wallets, and Wal-Mart is taking over the world one country at a time. How do you compete with convenience, and low prices? Why wouldn't you want to shop at Wal-Mart, unless you've got enough money not to? Anyways, you can officially call me the hypocrite of the day, and I gained a valuable lesson in humility. Now, to try and squeeze six bags of food onto the bike.
