The straw grasping continues!
First, Walmart SPENDS more on postage than 7-11's takes in in annual revenue nationwide.
Secondly, if the Pahoa 7-11 is impacted enough to lay off staff or even close, at most - 5 to 6 employees, whereas if Walmart loses the SNAP revenue, it will be laying off thousands, and here in Hilo/Kona, we could see 75 to 100.
At any event, carry on!
