Walmart

I've snobbishly been to very few Walmarts in my life. I just found out yesterday there is one on Crenshaw close to USC - more or less the heart of South Central. I was getting stuff for our film yesterday....I noticed the crowd there, all African American, and all presumably lower to lower middle class. I mean, it's Walmart. And it struck me that everyone who complains about Walmart are the people that can afford to shop elsewhere. The people who actually benefit from Walmart are poorer folks because they can buy two boxes of Pringles for $2. That's a freaking good deal! If I were trying to feed a family, I'd probably have to do bulk shopping there (or quit film school and get a real job), just so everyone could eat.
