To me that means taking money away from whatever small businesses are still around. It also takes money away from manufacturers that actually produces quality products to strengthen their hard earned brand name. Walmart just *****s an existing brand name with products designed solely for profit margins that are either functionally deficient due to cost cutting for profit margins or completely designed to fail within a designated timeframe. Target does this but to a lesser extent but all big box stores are kinda evil in the same way. It's very hard to avoid shopping at these stores if you have low income or low patience.
Every single time you shop at these big box stores, it supports them and everything they stand for. Profits for them and the way they do business.
