If we cannot accept the risk of loosing our business and finding ways to keep our business competitve then we should never have gotten into business in the first place.

Just my 2 cents worth.
Amen brother!!

BTW - Wal*Mart is expanding and plans to create something like 22,000 new jobs. ("Yea, but they're crummy low paying jobs with no benefits and no union")...

...Just like the jobs at the local fly shop and hundreds of other places y'all shop at but don't complain about..

I really don't get why so many people have a problem with a retailer that helps you stretch your dollar. What is so wrong about saving money? Today I was in Wal*Mart and I found out I JUST paid $1.50 more for Sci Anglers Line Dressing at the fly shop and I spent $1 more on deodorant at the supermarket.

It won't happen again...

If y'all feel so compelled to spend more than you have to, for whatever reason makes you feel good, just send me your shopping list and I'll be happy to buy the stuff at Wal* Mart and charge you more.

As for me, I want MY heard earned money to go as far as it can in ANY economy.
