Except that a corporation doesnt keep money for a sheer purpose. The profits go into either growing the company and creating more jobs or the profits are distributed to the investors. The company is not an individual.

So more cities can lose stores and be inconvenienced? Sounds like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Walmart tried smaller stores and they didnt work. It is not a charity, it provides lower prices and better selection. Corporate need is to make a profit or go out of business. So essentially the stores were going to go out of business anyway, it was just a matter of time. Mom & Pop can go back and open up the shop again.

They make plenty of profit and the world knows it, you always play the fool to get people riled up but I think you might have a brain in there somewhere skip.

What is any different than a small business running another small business out?

If I could pull it off ethically, I'd run off all my competition. Im not here to wipe someone else's ass and share half the pie. I'll take the TP and the whole pie and leave you crusty assed and hungry.

Business isn't a everyone gets to play city league. Its competitive as can be, and we run the scoreboard up every chance we get because you never know what tomorrow will bring.

It is that thinking that gets the world into all the bullshit we are into now. People who think like that are plagues to humanity. Competition is good but heartless greed leaves the lands barren and the rivers polluted.

They got me, but a year and a half later a home depot opened up about 5 minutes from my aunts house..so I doubt that Ace is still even in business. I hope they went belly up.

I prefer to give my business to local stores but, I agree that it is not always financially feasible. But my local Ace gets a lot of my business.

Went to Walmart Saturday to get a small heat lamp bulb for the dog house. They only had 250w bulbs for $6.49 each. Swung by Ace and found a 2 pack of 125w bulbs for $5.49. And picked up a nice CRTK pocket knife for $17 on 50% clearance.

yet here you are, keeping two sets of books in order to evade taxes, and still bitter as hell that your business is so flimsy.

sucks to be you.

I don't give a shit if a product costs me 6.99 at the local store and 2.99 at walmart, they can lick my ass clean after I take one of those chili poops before I ever consider going to them first.

While I would contest the adjective "nice" being used for just about any CRTK knife, I feel confident it's inappropriate for one of their $34 offerings. But, I'm a collector of custom made tactical folders, so I'm a bit of a knife snob.

Walmart sucks, for no reason other than the useless idiots they employ.

What's wrong with that. I fully support anyone that makes money, corporation or mom pop. Shows they have something on the ball. Has nothing to do with greed. That's just liberal dumbspeak.

I get more useful information from the reviews on Amazon, which is probably why I have Prime deliveries every day. Unfortunately, I'm outside the new one hour Amazon Prime delivery coverage for Raleigh.

With relatively few exceptions, Best Buy and the Apple Store aren't much better. Not much point going in to the brick and mortar locations when you know more about the products than the cashiers walking around in salesman disguises. In their defense, the hapless idiots milling about seem to appreciate the clean-cut, empty headed twits reading them the specs right off the signage and screens they're already eyeballing.

I don't mind a company that makes a profit as long as I don't have to pay for the welfare checks of their employees.If they throw in the added bonus of paying the factory workers a suitable wage that would be a winner in my book too.
