I love your way of thinking.... In a lot of the smaller town's shopping at the Walmart is nearly the only choice. A lot of mom and pop sotres have gone to the wayside in the past 20 years. But it does look like there is a rise currently in the boutique sector! Online sales are what are keeping most of those places alive. But to some families, going to the Walmart on payday is a big outing. I personally despise the store, but that is just my opinion.
I have come across families that go to Walmart once a month, they go there to get their monthly supplies and do not go again until the following month. These families are of limited resources, mostly who receive a monthly benefits check of some kind. And on the same note, I have come across some families who hit the Walmart each and every Friday night. Mom, dad and kids. They buy everything in the Walmart, from groceries, toiletries, to clothing and sporting goods. None of these groupings of folks are hardly ever seen at the mall or in a boutique shop and this is why I am following your line of reasoning so well.
Caring4Many, I hope they have talked to this girl already, but as frustrating as this case has been so far it would not surprise me one little bit if she had not been contacted by LE. I really hope I am wrong and can eat those words.
I really feel the need to bang a drum all day long LOL.
