You know, my favorite grocery store is publix, but good good their prices are SO high! I do most of my shopping at Wal-Mart, I will be honest. I feel pretty ignorant right now, but at least now I'm enlightened.. that video was way too long to see all of it but I got the point.

WalMart does have cheap prices on their loss leaders and ad prices, but they get the money back on other items which actually end up being higher than most grocery only stores.

I don't like them for their business practices, that's all.

My personal belief.....

America did it to itself. The lack of education, lack of motivation, government handouts, and the general laziness of the major American public, caused everything to shift to the other side....inside and out.
You're my hero!!!!!

You're probably driving around with CITGO gas in your car. They refine it and sell it anybody that buys it, including other petroleum companies that sell it at their stations.

People talk all this trash about Wal-Mart like it matters. It is too late to stop them now, you missed your chance.

This is also a good link.

You obviously have no idea how the petroleum market works so stop making an even bigger idiot out of yourself. Do you really think that every drop of gasoline at your local chevron station is all every chevron gas? Chevron has their own additives, but they use gas from many different companies. So you DO most likely have Citgo gas in your car.
