[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1683216, member: 24816"] I agree, if wages increase then businesses are not going to eat that cost and go on, they are going to increase their prices to maintain and thus the increase in wages is a wash. I’m not a Walmart fan at all but we go there simply because there isn’t much other choice. Years ago had a small paint store/glass cutting business in our downtown. It was impossible to compete with the big chain stores that could sell items as cheap as we could buy them wholesale. Had four employees and tried to be generous to them as possible and hold out but finally had to close up shop. There is now just one private owned hardware store in town now and they are struggling and likely just a matter of time until they close. Those big stores come in and take out the competition. Then there isn’t an alternative. Looks to me like they are trying to cut out some employees by putting in more self checkouts, thus customer service is that much less. I honestly dislike the dollar stores more, the bulk of their products are made in China, and the name brands that they carry are often much higher than other stores. We have at least 6 dollar stores in this county 4 of which are Dollar Generals. [/QUOTE]
