It's a shame most people don't know the ins and outs about the "Walmart world."
If you say Walmart in front of my Urban Geography professor, he'll have a heart attack.

Many people are against Walmart because of what they've done to small -town businesses. They sold their products at a smaller price, so people would go to Walmart instead of the neighborhood store. That in turn put those stores out of business.

Now, the people who owned those stores and worked there, made a good amount of money. After their stores closed, some had to work at Walmart because it was pretty much the only business left. Walmart pays these employees not even close to what they were making at the neighborhood stores.

Ok I kinda summarized everything we learned about Walmart, but I have a whole handout about the negatives about Walmart stores.
