    My 1st post, also with respect. 

    I don't shop at Walmart. I stopped after I learned of their
    marketing policies. The more I learn the less desire I have to shop
    there. And yes, I will spend more at a locally owned store. It may
    not be the smartest way to purchase items but I am always grateful
    when my clients buy from me and not the big stores. 

    Umesh; 

    Thank you for your insight. Could you give us some examples of the
    cost of living there? For example how much to feed a family of say 4
    for a day. What is the cost of housing? That might help in our
    understanding of the wages you gave us.
