  • Haslett is not really a small town anymore, it is more of a sprawling suburb with the cookie cutter strip malls, subdivisions etc.

    Some call it "progess" others an example of the commercial franchise of the American dream.

  • Wal Mart is monopolizing everything!!!! GREAT JOB:)

  • they have a higher price because wall-mart lowers it so much and it's well known that it can still make a profit but the smaller buissiness then has to up it's prices to make enough profit to survive

  • Yeah, we have a nice office supply store here where you can buy a nice rollerball gell pen for $10. Walmart has the same pen in a 2-pack for $4.

    Do you think I'm stupid, TOO? I have 2 of those pens and they're nice. They came in a nifty 2-pack.

  • How many people work there who wouldn't have a job otherwise?

    How much money is it bringing to the community? How much does it donate to local charities?

    How many people did all of these "local merchants" that closed because of Walmart employ? Did they get paid vacations and insurance and regular pay raises?

    Last but not least, where do you go to find products NOT made in China? If you don't buy those Chinese products at Walmart, you're paying too much. :)

  • I get all my supplies from small buissniusess and they say wal-marts a problem. I dont shop there cause i find better quality products made in america germany englan and france.

  • why is walmart not flying the chinese communist flag after all they are a communist supporter they forced the closing of many manufacturers in this country to import the unsafe junk from china - You buy at walmart you buy from the communist state of China - did our troops lose their lives fighting communism for this -

  • Money wins.

  • wtf i want a cookie thingy here in Southampton new york!

  • Video would have been better if they had used Randy Watson, he played Joe the Policeman in the What's Goin' Down episode of That's My Mama.
