It really is a huge corporation. It reminds me of one of those companies that run the world in the book "Running Man" by Richard Bachman (ak Stephen King) or a number of other dystopias. Eventually it will just be Disney and WalMart running everything.

I stopped there,because my kids work there.
They been there for some time now and workd their way up in the dept.
They treat the girls very well.
If I needed anything electronic get a big discount.
That is a help.
