No, not all consumers can choose between WalMart or
boutique. Many consumers are struggling to afford WalMart.

You see beat-up pickup trucks around here; not Lexuses.

People here dress in jeans and t-shirts mostly; not
fashionable clothing. 'Dressed-up' is the jeans without
holes....

Yes, there are some prosperous people here. But in general,
it's not an area overflowing with money.

I would buy 100% organic food if I could afford it. I
cannot afford it; there's just no way.
