Wal-Mart knocked on our door about four years ago (lived about 30 minutes away from the town I live in now). The town had a lot of locally owned businesses and grocery market chains no bigger than having a store in a few cities in the state. People had full time jobs, or at least part time jobs that promised some 30 hours a week. I remember having a town meeting where people could voice their opinions regarding Wal-Mart. Some complained that the town needed to grow and progress and business owners did what they could to keep Wal-Mart out. Wal-Mart won. In it came with its ridiculous work hours and wages. Businesses broke and had to close, one of my favorite grocery stores closed, and people kept applying for work at Wal-Mart. I remember people being excited about "getting the job". That never lasted because they have been getting ten hours a week, 12 hours a week, sometimes no hours a week. So they have to make up for it by working the crops in the fields. Way to go Wal-Mart.
