It gets better, you can't buy CD's with explicit content or Maxim magazine (too racy) but you can buy plenty of violent video games (GTA anyone?) and all the violence sex and swear words as long it is in a movie.

We obviously dont have the buying power of wally world but our corporate point of view is they will gladly lose money on some items to gain customers from a competitor who might buy something in addition with a higher profit margin...and unfortun. mom-n-pop sometimes dont have the same point of view
A mom-and-pop simply can't afford to sell stuff at the same price. For instance say Wally World buys 5 million Stanley screwdrivers a year so Stanley gives them at 25 cents a piece and wallly world sells them for a buck each (make believe numbers here). Little Joe's hardware (which you own) only buys about 100 a year, at
$1.10 a pop, you can't win, if you sell the same product anyway. Electronics stores have been able to survive (somewhat) because of their service, extended warranties and larger selection.
