What have they done? They let a competitor into town? Yeah, that's bad for everybody!

I live in a town that has the following:
Super Wal-Mart
Two Shop-Rite Supermarkets
Stop & Shop
Redner's Warehouse Market
Hannaford
Aldi
and Price Chopper

Of all those grocery stores, the food area of the Super Walmart is almost always the least busy. It's mostly the trailerpark crowd that shops there anyway. It is by far the most gross-looking food offered in the area. The seafood reeks, the produce looks sick, and the meat department is iffy at best.

People (most) have brains and know where to go to get good merchandise/service and they seem willing to pay for it. Unless you live in the most back-woods rural hell hole, I'd be surprised if Wal Mart ran any grocer out of business.
