The nearest Kohl's/JCPenny's could be an hour drive away. Everything you buy on a weekly basis comes from Wal-Mart. A policy change like this in America would drastically affect many Midwesterners lives.

The number of people who shop there is huge, and they do it because they are living on narrow margins and saving $0.50 on a jar of peanut butter is something that matters to them.
