In what way would retailing be different, and our world be different, if there were no "big box" stores such as Bed, Bath and Beyond, Walmart, Staples, etc?

Asked by jca (36062points) December 30th, 2009

would we have higher prices? less selection? would the Main Streets in our local towns be different? what about employment? salaries? any other ways you can imagine?

would the world be better without them? would the shopping experience be better without them? or do you think they are beneficial to us, to shopping, to the economy, to the community?
