[/ QUOTE ]True, as a whole, but the other side of the coin are the folks that can't afford to shop elsewhere, and that' number is growing every DAY...figure in fuel/drive time and the fact that Wal-Mart normally does undersell any other competitor...ask most folks in that situation, and they don't call it "immediate satisfaction" they call it "survival".
