Every man for themselves! 
If the prices go up and business goes down, people will cry that they are out of a job if/when walmart closes. What's that old saying? "be careful what you wish for, you just might get it."

I know some one wished he had a son after having 4 daughters.
So his wife said ok for another shot. (no puns intended)
She got home from the ultrasound and said I have good news and some bad news.
Whats the good news? he asked. Wife said "Yes you are having a son"
After a few minutes of cheering he finally asked, "whats the bad news?"
"You have 2 more daughters!" replied his wife.

i know some people who do work at walmart and i bet if you asked them they would give you great service
also i would say that many walmart employees do work their way up the corp ladder - which is something that many companies do not offer anymore
so i am for walmart and against walmart at the same time
i too love low prices BUT i know walmart has the power to demand it from the suppliers which in turn move jobs overseas
walmart used to be all about Made In America - not anymore
they have an excellent supply chain that is unmatched by any company
but they put the mom & pop stores out of business
but as jeff said every man for himself - heck i recall when sears was the walmart - it all cycles and i suspect we will see another company take over as top retailer someday
heck i used to be a republican too

Every Wal-mart employee probably gets a coupon for 10% off thier next Wal-Mart purchase.
