That's been going on for years now. And from what I can see, what
consumers mostly do is put up with it.

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Or many of us simply choose to do our
shopping 'downtown' whenever possible. I would never claim I have
never shopped at Walmart, but given a choice in the matter, I tend to
go downtown (which I would pass through otherwise [living east side
of Independence] before taking the cab all the way out to Walmart
[which is far west side of town].) But the hair salon I go to for my
haircuts is out in that area, about a block from the Walmart
complex; now and again I walk across Main Street over to Walmart to
look around; but not very often, and never for groceries. Sometimes a
couple dollars of little items if I need them bad enough. PAT]
