Isn't the company's headquarters located in Bentonville? I think it's also where the Walton family originate from IIRC. So I think you're onto something here. For most rural folks, WalMart's the only game in town. Your one-stop retailer, 'Bank of Convenience' (ha!), employer and funeral director, with the added bonus that, upon your demise, the Dead Peasants insurance policy the company took out on your sad ass kicks in to give the Walton family a nice little payout. Welcome to America, folks!
