Yes they do and traffic keeps the smaller guys alive. One of those hey, while I'm in the area things. I mainly go to Wal Mart when I'm looking for something the small guys can't afford to stock because of not enough volume. One time I went to Wall Mart at 3am during the second week in January, couldn't sleep and couldn't turn on TV without hearing about that from my wife. Found a xxl insulated coat that was big enough to wear another coat under marked down from $99 to $14 and its a warm coat. Then I had to go to a specialty store and buy a shearling Mongol style cap to go with it for $75. Good to -30 on the windchill scale.

Looking more like we traded away a functioning 1st amendment and got nothing in return. Elites are still fouling the political waters with their money as if nothing had happened: ISSAQUAH: Costco chairman, CEO give $95,000 each to defeat Bush Bloomberg News Costco Wholesale Corp. Chairman Jeffrey Brotman and CEO James Sinegal gave $95,000 each in December to a political fund that aims to defeat President Bush in the November election, records filed with the Internal Revenue Service show. Brotman and Sinegal were among 25 people who gave a combined $7.9 million to the Joint Victory Campaign 2004 fund, which seeks to "change the course of the country away from the Bush administration's radical agenda" and elect "progressive" candidates, according to the fund's Web site. tribnet.com Nice business move, pissing off half his customers.
