Default Re: Movie: Wal-Mart : The high cost of low prices

If the reason people dont like walmart is the fact they put Mom and Pop out of business,then they must not shop at Home Depot either,let alone the internet . You know we've become a throw away society.Not because of the Walmart mower prices [actually sears has 99.00 mowers so avoid them too.] Its the fact that everyone that works on everything nowadays considers themselves a "professional",and charges 100.00 to look at an item [that already is more than a NEW mower !!!!]and give an estimate,and 85.00 an hour thereafter. Of course that doesnt mean a "paltry" 85.00 for each hour they actually work, its what a book tells them to charge for a repair,anyone knows if a book gives 2 hours flat rate its probably a 1/2 hour job,netting the "professional" more like 400.00 an hour for time actually worked , thats the real reason noone can choose to repair anything and prefer to buy cheap and throw away ,its easier and more economical.
