Nancy Hicks · Answer 1

When Walmart joins a community or wants to join a community. People feel resistant about it because it is a very big competence that provides products at very competitive prices that make them win the retailers' war.

They are both good and bad.

Good because they produce a big amount of jobs, as well as providing products that small stores can't.

Bad because they price their products at very low prices making them have the advantage of the market and reducing the costumers on local stores or businesses.

Explanation:

The reason behind this answer is that Walmart is a supermarket retailer store that provides every type of product. From shoes to cheese. Therefore, all local businesses feel threatened by them. Because they provide products at a very low price, that convinces people to choose them as their store instead of local businesses. That is why they are perceived as bad for local economies, and people feel resistant to them. However, they also provide a good number of jobs to locals and provide a wide range of products to them.
