Show how you feel about Wal-mart?

In the book "How Wal-Mart is destroying America and the World (and what you can do about it)", there is a story of an elderly lady who had a little notebook. She would jot down prices of items at different stores to see where the lowest price was.

She and her husband are pensioners. They had to do this.

She was "caught" doing this in Wal Mart and told she couldn't do that. I don't recall if her notebook was confiscated or not.

Another interesting point in that book - WalMart doesn't ALWAYS have the lowest prices.

If small businesses can't compete - why is WM paranoid about the photos and price checking?
