last chapters
This weeks blog is the final two chapters in the video series from the documentary, The High Cost of Low Price, chapters 10 and 11. Chapter 10 continues from last weeks chapter 9 describing how Wal-Mart cares little about the well-being of its customers once they leave the store. Many vicious attacks on customers by strangers in Wal-Marts parking lots has prompted a need for extra security for their customers. Chapter 10 also begins to talk of solidarity from cities across the nation who fight against the opening of stores in their towns most importantly the video uses the example of the fight in Inglewood, California. The small town of Inglewood was able to fight off the world’s largest retailer from setting foot in their town. It was definitely a great victory and set an example to other cities around the nation that they have a voice as well and that they can do something about it.
