That's pretty snarky mouse. we all give some personal examples now and again. On this subject I'll say that my wife and I try to shop at the smaller stores, too. The big discount stores have just about run all the smaller, privately owned stores out of business. It's a serious problem in this country. I’m curious Dex, why is this a big problem in this country? These large chain stores seem to bring lower prices to those who have limited income. I don’t believe that the larger chains have forced people to purchase only what they offer, rather, people make choices and in this cycle of business that choice seems to be (primarily) for the larger chain stores. For some time these larger chain stores (as well as smaller stores) have had to compete with growing options on the internet. Is that to be considered a big problem? There has also been an increase in those who repair products that are purchased from the big chains and over the internet because those sources do not have local repair people. That would seem to be a plus for local business start ups. I see a changing market place but I don’t see a big problem. I shop the big box stores with no guilt whatsoever....my budget doesn't allow me to shop individually owned businesses for the most part and I avoid grocery stores with unions as I pay almost double in those stores....again, no guilt. I am charged to be wise in handling my resources.[/quote) __________________________________________________ That's cool if that's what you need to do, but why criticize others who try to lend a hand to the independent owners?

Maybe when the guys come through and moderate, they'll take some kind of action. should have been clearer....I agree with everything Mouse stated. as to McDonald's, it kept a roof over our head and food in our bellies so although I don't eat there, I always remember where I came from.

AnnaJ said: I agree. I know 3 families, personally, who have been put out of business by Wal-Mart over the past few years. One had a bath and body works franchise, one had a crafts and home decor shop and the other had a book store. A new Wal-Mart moved in and undercut the prices they had to charge to make a living. No choice but to close. Too bad. I shop at the smaller stores when I can.

Wow, that's really weird. Sometimes the quote function on here goes hay-wire. Sorry, I'll try to clear that off.

It's a serious problem in this country. not sarky at all Dex... I am simply answering her point about her making choices and using her own words and examples to point out to make choices can only be done when one has options ...and she has options to make choices from ... like you Dex I too prefer to give my bussiness to smaller business concerns rather than the big corporates and that is making choices..and I dislike like the conformity of the large retailers and prefer the differences of the smaller groups..i also dislike like the working practises practices of the larger groups.. but at the same time..not every one can or would have those choices and of course your right..it is a serious problem across most of the western world ... big boys pushing out the smaller businesses and then holding the consumer to ransom..

Maybe when the guys come through and moderate, they'll take some kind of action. how can using her own words be an assacination? ? of character or anything else ... let me quote """"My life is not a daily struggle for survival because I have made certain choices"""""that is balderdash....not every one has the luxury of making choices ...there are those who will never have to options of making choices and who will struggle their entire lives ..through no fault of their own...but simply because of the families they were born into and the lack of opportunities to make a choices ....a great deal of luck of the draw
