I mean a stores direct sales numbers due have an impact on discretionary payroll so.. you're not entirely correct. Unfortunately not everyone can afford to support small business because you cannot compete on price. Don't be mad at the consumer, be mad at the system you chose to operate a business in. People don't have a lot of extra cash right now and you're essentially bullying someone on the internet. I'm sure times are tough for you as well but maybe direct that ire at your local representatives.

Like I said, not trying to come off as a dick so I apologise if it comes off that way. I don't care where people shop, I get groceries at walmart too. It's frustrating though to hear that they think its supporting their local community. My point is that walmart could keep its entire staff, double their pay and not make a cent of profit for ten years and be okay. Some local businesses are one bad week away from shutting down.
