Is Home Depot shafting shoppers?

By cutting back on employees, the home-improvement retailer is putting
the screws to the people it needs most: its customers.
I am surprised that anyone is surprised. Big box stores are interested
in wiping out all of the small stores. To do that they had to make
themselves look like good guys at first. Once they decimate the small
stores they can cut way back on staff and raise prices.
