As a NYC resident, I say don't let the door hit you on the ass.:D

And amen.

2. Ha ha - the mighty Walmart beat down by the even mightier NYC!

Guess that makes me one of those "snobbish elites."

3. this bit is bogus -- what surveys are they talking about?

"Surveys have repeatedly shown that Wal-Mart’s grocery prices are typically 10 to 30 percent lower than those of its competitors."

Uhh -- WHERE were these supposed surveys done? I went to the local superstore when it opened. NOTHING was even close to a 30% difference under other supermarkets. The meat sections were a couple of cents different. Never saw the differences they claim in this article.
