I just returned from a trip to Western MN to visit family. I had a discussion with my aunt about Walmart. (She is, like many of my rellies out there, pure gold in my opinion.) She said she's heard negative things about Walmart, but that it allows her to afford things she wouldn't normally be able to afford. She also said Walmart provides more jobs than any Mom'n'Pop stores ever did and that employees seem pretty happy to her (well, I'm not sure on either of those points, especially the former).

It doesn't really matter though, because Walmart is the only dept store within 80 miles of there.
