Not true at all. There are plenty of other stores to sell their
goods. I buy all of my soap and detergent at the local
grocery store. I don't make a separate trip to Wal-Mart.


Wal-mart forces customers to shop only there through the fact that by
sheer size (ignore the pressure they apply to manufacturers that I
mentioned above for the moment) they can and do run any other
competition in a town out, leaving no option.
Not true. I have more stores to shop at than I could ever
visit. This includes two super Wal-Marts and two Sam's Clubs
within 10 miles. I just don't go there all that often, even
though I do have a Sam's Club membership.
