7. I drive a 2004 Nissan Frontier.

A couple of years ago I needed a new tire and no other local place had the size that I needed. My choice was to order through a local dealership or through Walmart which was much cheaper. I ordered through Walmart and had no problems.

I'm sorry that Walmart put most Mom and Pop shops out of business over the last half century. But my experience as a worker was that most of those Mom and Pop shops were unwilling to pay their workers enough to be able to buy what the shops sold. Maybe if I had been paid more than minimum wage I could have bought a pair of rose colored glasses and I would remember things differently.
