        Welcome to the world of competition...in the end, it is the consumer who should always prevail and for business to compete for their money.

        No, Wal-Mart bad for all, leaching government benefits via poverty wages, destroying local commerce, communities, #monopsony.

        Lower prices are not good for shoppers if the end result is a lessening of competition.

        Many major chains compete. Smart shoppers save with sales & coupons. Only small stores hurt.

        Major chains restrict supply chains and salaries by driving small stores out of business. It's called monopoly.

        All major chains hurt small business because they buy at larger volumes and by doing so get lower costs. It's economics.

        Yeah - and they also get big enough to drive the supply chain including the wages. Big not best or worst - just has to be managed correctly.

        Not good for customers if they consider how much it costs them in income tax to pay for health care, food stamps etc. for Walmart employees.

        In my area ethnic groceries have much better selection and noticeably lower prices than walmart, so it is possible. Others need to go down.

        Grocers can compete. The end of artificially high prices has come. I wish the same could be said of car sales, still mafia owned...

        Wal-Mart lifts the burden off taxpayers. Higher prices just mean more taxes to supplement food stamps.

        And as a senior citizen I appreciate the lower prices plus a lot of seniors work for Wal-Mart. One of the few companies willing to hire us.

        I expect that will change as Trump starts imposing higher import taxes. It's time Wal-Mart return to Sam Walton's made in USA mantra.

        Fierce competition? Possibly! Monopoly in making? Most likely! All we Baby Boomers: Remember Ma Bell?
