Don,
  
  What ignorant gibberish you write.  
  
 I bet you 100 bucks the Pepcid AC I buy at Wal-Mart is the exact  same Pepcid AC I buy at Safeway on occasion for $2 more. The Sony  Playstation, made the same as the one at ShopKo, as well as the games.
  
  And Wal-Mart does not FORCE anyone to do business with them, in fact, businesses compete for the privilege. 
  
  Yes, Wal_Mart does sell some inferior products for a lesser price, but  not everyone has $80 for a pair of good jeans or needs a pair that well  made, $11.50 is all they have and $11.50 is all they need. Should you  not be equally outraged at the retailers that just stick a different  label on a pair of clothing and sell it for 300% more? 
  
Do  you honestly think lower income people do not know how to shop wisely?  Your rhetoric, Don, has grown outlandish and to the point where you are  writing anything with no regard for reality, truth, fairness or honesty.

The items Walmart sells are not there same as the items other stores  sell under the same manufacturers name. Walmart uses its buying power  to force its suppliers to produce cheaper and shoddier goods under the  same name. Take Levi's for example. The Levi's Walmart sells are not  the same Levi's that Tri-State sells, but a lower quality. The fabric  is lighter and the manufacture is not the same quality.
  It  strikes me that Walmart is to merchandising as Payday Loan places are  to banking; a way to cheat the poor and uninformed into paying HIGHER  prices for cheaper goods.
