The importance of Walmart

I overheard this today while at Safeway.

"I'm lookin at these trailer homes they got out in West Richland, and I called the guy. My wife says she doesn't want to live there though because it to far away from Walmart."

That is Verbatim what this guy said. What kind of world are we living in when a determining factor in buying a trailer home is by it's distance from a Walmart.
