Again, put things in perspective. The big businesses around here went to the
zoning board to complain about Walmart coming in. They bribed the board to
require the highway changes as a prerequisite to Walmart coming in because they
thought it was enough to make Walmart go elsewhere. Walmart called their
bluff, paid for the changes, and you know what? Those stores that tried to
stop Walmart coming to town got MORE business because of the easing of
congestion on the roads. Wow! Imagine that! Someone tried to bribe Walmart
out of existence, and both Walmart AND those people are happy now.
As for the prices they pay for CDs, I never buy CDs at Walmart. Can't find
anything there. They only stock the top sellers or budget labels that use poor
mastering or re-recordings. AND, they've never heard of the alphabet. You have
to go through bin after bin after bin looking for something because there's no
rhyme or reason to how they are put out on the shelves. Abba next to ZZ Top
next to Beatles next to Metalica next to Jethro Tull. Hmmm, yeah, a Beatles
disc in aisle one, a Beatles disc in aisle three, and who knows where else.
Not conducive to someone who is looking for something. More like if something
catches your eye you'll buy it as an add on sale. They aren't selling to
people looking for music. They are selling to people who aren't looking for
music who caught sight of something and bought it.
