fact i never said anything about price matching.. Trust me I know the local liquor store could never get a case a beer for what walmart sells them for cause the owner tells me that every time I buy a case from him (when I need one last min.).. He's one of those that is always "poor me". Now he uses that square or whatever the app is that you swipe your credit card on a tablet for cc purchases cause the fees are a fraction of the normal CC way.
Now re read what I said.. if a local mom and pop store put up a website they could sell to more people.. If they offered services that walmart doesn't offer that would also help.
I'm not saying it's not 10 times harder to run a mom and pop shop today, but it's like porn.. The people that worked 10 times harder today still make money. Maybe not like they did pre tubes but it's still possible.
