Anything you do will have both positive and negative results.

RE: WALMART
They are actually the largest employer in the US. Some here will bitch that Walmart does not pay their people enough.
These same people will bitch about long lines to pay at Walmart and lack of PEOPLE willing to help you

As to grocery options. We are three miles from Winn Dixie three miles from Publix and about the same from the,"farmer's market." We shop all three by golf cart

Speaking of which, here's the biggest problem I have with Walmart (and some other large corporations).

Walmart Workers Cost Taxpayers $6.2 Billion In Public Assistance

Walmart's low-wage workers cost U.S. taxpayers an estimated $6.2 billion in public assistance including food stamps, Medicaid and subsidized housing, according to a report published to coincide with Tax Day, April 15.
While I applaud Walmart's growth into such a large company and provide low prices, I really wished my tax money wasn't needed...helping them do it.

If by some chance this post gets deleted from complaints, by those who don't like the truth...it doesn't change the facts.
