Another Wal-Mart Post

We all have heard that the family of the poor gentleman who got trampled to death at the Wal-Mart store near NYC. Well, I have a little advice for the family and lawyers even tho I'm not a lawyer.
1. Sue every department/big chain store in the nation!
Wal-Mart did not create the atmosphere in which this tragedy occurred. That company has only followed what the competition had started. A lot of stores have/or offer so called "early bird" specials. I rememember stores offering anyone who entered the store additional discounts if they where there inbetween 5am and 7am.
2. Sue/go after anyone that bought anything immediately after the incident.
If they paid by check or credit card it would be easy to find them. These people are the ones who really created the mab mentality that day.

Why????

I found this on the MJS website and I thought i would comment.

The Cudahy Common Council's decision to reject a proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter is disappointing, but the world's largest retailer will look for other ways to serve customers in that area, a company spokeswoman said today.

Wal-Mart spokeswoman Lisa Nelson declined to say whether the Tuesday night council vote has definitely killed plans for a Supercenter, a combined supermarket and discount store, in Cudahy. For now, she said, Wal-Mart will focus on its other Milwaukee-area planned Supercenters, including projects in Waukesha, Muskego, Franklin and Milwaukee's south side.

The 137,000-square-foot Cudahy Supercenter was to anchor a retail development proposed by Continental Properties Co. for 26 acres, south of E. Layton Ave., between S. Nicholson Ave. and Sweet Applewood Lane. That is the site of the failed Iceport project.

What in the heck are they thinking? With the economy the way it is why turn down a job creating business. Oh, that's because it's Wal-Mart. With the loss of so many factory jobs in the area these towns and cities need to really look at what Wal-Mart and other big box stores would bring.

Look at every Wal-Mart and what do you see,other business's building around them! At the old Capitol Court you have a new mall that is either full or darn near it. The old Southgate Mall area has started to recover. In short, get over this anti Wal-Mart mentality and start rebuilding the local economy.
