If you have a cite for this, I'd like to see it. I'm not questioning your integrity, but I'd like to see evidence that this is corporate policy.

Seriously, everyone knows that Wal-Mart has a reputation of destroying small community businesses. If a Wal-Mart opened shop and nobody came, it would eventually close shop. People want low prices. That's a fact. Wal-Mart provides that. They are meeting a demand better than anyone else. They control costs obsessively. They track inventory at every step of the way. They've revolutionized the way products are delivered to the customer. They have an advantage that they have used to beat their competition. That's why they are successful.

Heck, I don't even shop at Wal-Mart. I think their stores are the antithesis of user-friendliness. I think I've set foot in a SuperCenter less than five times. I do respect their ability to be the best at what they do, though.
