I am so glad you were working in the shop with me at the time to know
this for a fact. So glad you were at small business meetings when mom
and pop business's were describing why they had to shut down or change
their whole accounting system and the fact they could not compete with
online shopping and orders all because computers were taking over.

Gosh Natalie. You and Noinden have got the world in the palm of your
hands knowing the truth. You two are like Doctors who claim you have a
broken ankle when a person comes in with a gut ache.

Do not tell me what looks attractive or why.I am just fine with Wal-
mart.

 The Union tried to work their way into Wal-mart employees. Employees
voted it down. In fact, the people I know employed there and yes, it
is a fairly small city with one Wal-mart and we all talk in line, love
the place.

Try it is the Union who continues to stir the "Wal-mart" pot then go
get employed by a union employer and run into trouble and see how
little they really do for you while they take your high member****p
dues.

Exactly where did you get that I did not bear in mind? You are
annoying as hell.  They are a monopoly. That is why they can raise
their costs so high without a ceiling or competition. Oil or not.
