whats more...

whats more, i have learned (and seen with my own eyes) that wal mart is effectively backing the anti-wal mart movement. they have recently (since the last time i was in this country) launched a new sub chain of stores called something like "neighborhood wal mart" that are smaller! more like the size of an eckerd or walgreens (boots to my u.k. homies). mom says they are just like a small grocery store (as i have yet to go in one...see previous posts!). so, let me get this straight. wal mart has picked up on the anti-wal mart "it's too busy, hard to get in and out of, parking a mile away, too big to find anything" sentiment...and has created a store to address the customers not shopping with them for those reasons... that has to be capitalism at its best...or worst. have you ever heard of a company creating a product to market to people who don't like their product? to encourage the revolutionary cultural shift against their company?

that is truly amazing to me

its kind of reminiscent of the old navy/gap/banana republic phenomena. or the fact that the trendy hair place and the family hair place in your local mall are owned by the same company. did you know that? so, if you're looking for a cheap hair cut you can go to one place, and if you want to feel you are paying for quality you can go to the other. its kinda like that...but on speed

do you think target and wal mart are owned by the same company?
