IMO, the problem with government assistance shouldn't be blamed on Wal-Mart! Blame it on the government for not having stricter regulations to govern who is being granted assistance!
BTW my daughter LOVES Libby Lu and was wanting to have her next b'day party there. She will be crushed!  That's the only type store "like that" that I know of. |
We have one in a nearby town.
It's A Girl Thing!
I bet a lot of towns have something like this!
The criticism of Wal-Mart is just because they are SO huge that whether or not they carry a product can make or break a company. Like, say they stopped carrying an entire line like Proctor and Gamble or Nestle or one of the big companies. Take a look at how many different products they make. WalMart probably accounts for a HUGE percentage of their sales. Yes they should be diversified, but that's just how it is. If WalMart suddenly wanted them to lower their prices and they said no and WalMart dropped them, what would the consequences be? Those companies employ thousands of people. WalMart just has too much power to make or break businesses and they use it in a sneaky way. If the local convenience store wants to stock Tide they can pay what P&G charges or not carry the product. WalMart gets to set their own prices even if they are unreasonable. I think WalMart is just greedy beyond reason. And I choose not to shop there. I just wish that more people put that much thought into it is all I'm saying.
As far as club Libby Lu - the article I read yesterday said that birthday parties can cost as much as $600?? I'm sure that had something to do with it. Parents are going to have to go back to cake and ice cream
I think I had most of my birthday parties growing up at the local roller rink!
