People need to realize that 99.9% of the time you earn what you're worth - if not more.
I'll also guarantee you that most of the Walmart whiners are walking in there and purchasing something that would cost more elsewhere.
In my little town the Walmart hasn't affected smaller businesses. If you want/need to charge more, be sure to treat the customer better and they'll keep coming.

AMEN!
in my ex-girlfriends tiny indiana hometown, they had a walmart. the locals there had a steady job that paid enough to live in a cheap small town, and provided cheap goods for low wage earning residents. they're big for a reason, they're needed.
