Unethical as they have been rolling in money. I have no doubt that you are right though. Wall mart entered Canada some years ago and most of us do not like them.

Highest markup they can squeeze out of generally inferior quality Chinese products they pay little for. Part of this overall picture is some products from our educational system are only fit at best to work in places like theirs. Our local store is in the conversion stages of enlarging their food items to a grocery store right now.

Most locals have stopped buying as much as they were there at one time. For example you can buy tires now from many tire stores as cheap as the low line Chinese tires they sell. Or on average their laptops are more than the same ones are from many other outlets.

This leaves them with the customers that think buying there has to be cheap and are too lazy to check. Unfortunatly for them in this economy the numbers locally are dwindling. I do not think their grocery operation addition is going to do all that well here either.
