If the reason people dont like walmart is the fact they put Mom and Pop out of business,then they must not shop at Home Depot either,let alone the internet . You know we've become a throw away society.Not because of the Walmart mower prices [actually sears has 99.00 mowers so avoid them too.] Its the fact that everyone that works on everything nowadays considers themselves a "professional",and charges 100.00 to look at an item [that already is more than a NEW mower !!!!]and give an estimate,and 85.00 an hour thereafter. Of course that doesnt mean a "paltry" 85.00 for each hour they actually work, its what a book tells them to charge for a repair,anyone knows if a book gives 2 hours flat rate its probably a 1/2 hour job,netting the "professional" more like 400.00 an hour for time actually worked , thats the real reason noone can choose to repair anything and prefer to buy cheap and throw away ,its easier and more economical.
