The thread started out with the problems with local merchant's hours of operations. Yes, some things are worth waiting for. Some not so much. I know our Costco is a great local employer. Excluding the benefits, which are very good, they pay their employees at least $3-$4 an hour more than any local merchant does. I don't care what the owner(s) make.
Wal Mart, well everyone knows their practices. Don't confuse local ownership with all that is good, it's not necessarily that way.
As for car dealers? I patronize my local car dealer almost 100%.
