    You are 100% correct. Because of Walmart a lot of people have a much better life.

    But as the psalmist said: "My Father owns the cattle on a thousand hills." [Psalms 50:10]

    My only complaints about Wal-Mart are their poor customer service and the warehouse feel of the store. Every Wal-Mart I have ever visited has been chronically understaffed. I hate seeing 30 available lanes and 5 checkers in a peak shopping time. I regularly drive next door to the Super Target to avoid the longer lines at Wal-Mart. I also think that Wal-Mart could design their stores better, as the construction tends to result in a very loud shopping experience. I'll still go to save money, but if I can get what I need for a similar price at another discount retailer (mostly Target), I will often go there.
