Since Walmart is trading at it's 52 week high, I'd say that Rochester's
"huge backlash" isn't working out so well, is it? "Doug Kanter" wrote in message news ![]() "Mark Browne" wrote in message news:ubZYa.101715$uu5.14588@sccrnsc04... You used to be able to go to the hardware store and ask the man about a barn hinge and the owner could tell you what he had, and discuss alternative in a knowledgeable way. Of course, that corner hardware store has been driven out of business by Wal-Mart. Actually, small hardware stores are thriving around here (Rochester NY). There's been a huge backlash against Wal Mart, the BORG and a couple of others. |

It's all relative, professor. If customers are waiting 1/2 hour for paint
advice in a neighborhood hardware store, LIKING it, and telling their friends about the place, that's pretty huge for the hardware store, don't you think? Especially if the store's just one of three in the city whose staff who really knows how to make miniscule pigment adjustments to match odd colors. Meanwhile, at Wal Mart: "Pigment? Mah uncle Jasper useta have pigment, but he got skin cancer & then he epped & dahd." "NOYB" wrote in message link.net...
