It has gone international, Walmart has branched out to England kind of. I'm pretty sure they own ASDA, which is big over here:/ Although as far as I'm aware, they aren't known so much for directly damaging small businesses, or at least not compared to Tesco. So I guess that's a bit better, although not by much.
They say the reason it recks business is becuase they go to the manufactuer companies and say if you do not drop prices for us we are going to tell all the other businesses you gave us a bad deal and youll go broke . So the manufactuers drop the prices very low for walmart even though they lose money becuase they dont make a profit and the locol stores sell it at a higher price becuase they buy it for regulaur price from manufactuar . So the small business can not compete . However as it is siad " busniess is business " .
Never considered the manufacturer's role. I think the main effect it has on small businesses is it's pricing. Businesses run on demand, and if two businesses are both supplying the same product or service, chances are one's gonna lose. And since smaller businesses really can't compete in terms of pricing etc., they're the ones who fail.
I think customers also need to be cautious about how bigger businesses effect them and their community. Yes, large businesses make shopping cheap and easy, but many are gaining more and more dominance in terms of market share. This can be very bad for the customers, and even the government discourage this, because it gives these businesses more and more control over the customers.
yes that is true I dont really go walmartbecuase the location ours is like 2 towns over we have regular franchises like general fast food places and pharmacys and such a few blocks or closer but I prefere those to the walmart .
IS it normal to hate Walmart ?

I despise the company so much that I didn't want it go international. It seems they have plans for world domination:/
