If local stores care so much about the community, they can offer us better prices than the chains.

Way to completely ignore the argument.

locally owned businesses pay and treat their employees better than corporate run places that focus only on profit for the owners and shareholders.

From my experience, all businesses are trying to maximize profit by paying their employees the least they’re willing to accept. Local businesses don’t pay employees more nor do they ‘treat their employees better.’ It’s all business.

Second, they couldn’t (legally) pay them less than Walmart does.

Why not?

Yeah. The facts are clear.

The fact is I wouldn’t have even moved here if there wasn’t a Walmart.

The fact is, most useful idiots are proud to pay more while doing mental gymnastics to think they’re getting a better deal.

The fact is, I genuinely don’t respect most of your financial advice because most of you people spend money like morons while complaining you need more.

Gonna ignore you now because this isn’t up for debate.

No it’s not.

Yeah, typical useful idiot thinking it’s up to the customer instead of the business owners to foot the bill for these problems.

What makes you think a local grocery store will pay its employees more than walmart?

You have no idea what you’re talking about and it shows.

Walmart employs members of the community. They bear some of the responsibility for why our community is so prosperous.

If local stores care so much about the community, they can offer us better prices than the chains. Otherwise they’re just using “buy local” as an excuse to rip people off and enrich themselves.

Edit: It’s sad how clueless you people are, but it reinforces why I don’t take the vast majority of you people seriously.

Keep paying more while thinking you’re somehow getting a better deal.

Most people can’t think for themselves and will say whatever makes them fit in with their peers.

I highly doubt they called you a retard.
