Your right it's the custome...Anonymous 11:57<br /><br /> Your right it's the customers that ultimately make the choice where they will spend their dollars. Take for example the locally owned grocery stores or especially Kens. There is a price difference from Walmart to those local stores and there is no way they can compete against the buying power of Walmart in prices but the quality on many goods, produce and meats are definitely better at Ken's or Kesslers and the service is better. Look at how long the employees stay at Kens. It is a career for many of them and there is practically no turnover and that reflects on the living wages and benefits they are paid. Which businesses are more closely tied to the communities in how they give to the community? Kens? Kesslers? Walmart? Then think about how many dollars stay in the community in a comparison. There are a number of factors at play and for some people on the edge financially I can't blame them for shopping at Walmart, Menards or other Big Box stores but when possible there are other things to consider. Aberdeen is just one community that is impacted among many.<br /><br /> LynnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31079809771482270.post-23410955455983794892014-10-02T05:57:57.000-07:002014-10-02T05:57:57.000-07:00Boycott Walmart.
