Aside from hating the smell of Walmart inside (never noticed), I agree with you. They were even taken to court because they sold at a loss when going into a new neighborhood in order to drive the competition out. They ran so many mom 'n pops out of business and changed small-town America's landscape for the worse. It's a part of corporate greed that really gets my goat.

Corporate greed is why unions got started. But that's off topic...
