and large.

Even better i not only worked for many of them but I also lived in the
neighborhood.

A lot of mom and pop stores shot themselves in the foot.

And alot of this happened years before the internet.

I'm not.  I hate the fact i'm paying for health care for Walmart
employees while Walmart makes billions of dollars.

I'm not going to get into unions except to point out while Wal-mart
is not union, alot of the food stores are.  

I would point out i've worked at union food stores, in fact one
of them burnt to the ground and killed 5 people.   (The fire started
at the other end of the mall and the buzz is the owner could sell
the property for $10 million.)
