    The shopping crowd of this Walmart is different than other Walmarts. They are noticeably older. I am sure it is because all the snowbirds are still living in town and have yet to be replaced with vacationing families and college students. The store is really clean and well stocked.

Being in the position to beat out their competitors by offering the lowest prices around on food and necessities does not absolve Walmart of their shady ways of doing business.…

Unfortunately for them Walmart has a very strict low price policy and would not budge to create a price increase and instead dropped their product.…
