What do you think of cash mobs? Would you ever participate in one? Why or why not? Do you think small businesses will always exist or do you think corporate giants, such as Wal-Mart, will force most, if not all, small businesses to close? Explain your opinion.

This is a cool idea. If I had the opportunity to be in a cash mob, I would. Small businesses will always be around. There will always be someone with the dream to own their own store or business and they will do it. Big businesses will get bigger and small businesses will suffer a bit but I don't think they will actually completely disappear.

I think this is an amazing idea. I would participate in one. This is an awesome way to help out small business who need the customers. Many people don't know that small businesses play an important role. I have a feeling that eventually corporate giants will eventually take over. The reason is because Big markets such as Wal-Mart carry items that small businesses have and more. So there wont be a need for the small business with less inventory.

I think this is a great idea. I would participate in one myself. I would participate in it, because it helps the small businesses. I personally think small businesses will not always last, because big businesses has that to and more!

Cash mobs are a good way to help the small businesses get back on their feet. I would participate in one, because I'm sure that I could find something in just about whatever store they choose to hit. I think there will always be some small businesses, but that most of them will go out due to larger corporations. People enjoy the sense of home that is achieved from a small business, even if the prices are a little higher. For instance, I'll try and buy something at the Windsor Pharmacy before going to Wal-Mart.
First it's great that they decided to help small businesses, if they need it. No, I would never ever participate in one. Why, because these people are spending at least hundred dollars, and I dont want to do that. Honestly that hundred dollars could be spent on stuff that I need. I don't really know if small businesses will always exist or Wal-Mart going to close the small businesses.

I think that cash mobs are an awesome idea that can really benefit small businesses. Yes I would participate just because I would like to help the community. I think the government won't let all the small businesses close there is to many checks for that kind of thing to happen.
I think its cool. I would participate in one if it was a store that had things that I would buy. I hope that small businesses will always exist and that the corporate giants won't force all of the small businesses to close. I think that small businesses are cute and memorable. But I do think that eventually the big businesses will take over.
I think cash mobs are a good idea. I don't know if I would ever participate in one. I don't know if they will always exist. I feel this way because corporate giants have more money to be a better business. Competition is great amongst small businesses and corporate giants.

These things are cool. I would join because its helping businesses. I think that big-businesses are going to close smaller places. Like when people come to our store, they always have something to say. Either they have an attitude or they have to say "Well its this much at Wal-Mart??" People just don't see differences. They don't realize that the bigger the business, the lower the prices because they buy thing in bulk-sizes. The more Wal-Mart buys of one thing, the less they have to pay for it.
This is an amazing idea. I don't know if I would ever participate in one. I'm not sure if they will always exist. Corporate giants have more money and more people will actually shop there. Small businesses are likely to close, but small businesses also have cheaper things.
This is a very unique and looks like fun experience. I think people all over the world should do this because a lot of businesses are hurting and us shopping at Wal-mart hurts all small businesses. Most small business are different and have a lot of things supermarkets don’t have so everybody should shop there sometimes. Small stores are a little expensive but they have coupons and you can sales shop. Small stores make a chance in communities and without them small towns wouldn’t be thriving.
I think cash mobs are a good idea, if you have the money to spend. If i did, i would participate in one. I definitely think bigger businesses dominate over smaller businesses, causing them to go out of business.
I think cash mobs is a great way to help out the community. If I had the money Yes I would participate in one because it's an act of kindness. I can't say that small businesses will or won't exist but I wouldn't agree if big corporate businesses forced them to close.
I think it's really nice.I think i would participate in one, Because it helps your communities small businesses.I think small business will always exist as long as we all support them.
I think it is a good idea. I would participate to help out the store. I think corporate businesses will take over because family stores have to price their goods higher to survive, and corporate businesses can price goods way lower because more people shop there
The idea is amazing and like he said is a nice way to help the small community bussinesses. I would participate in this, it's not like they are asking you to pay alot when involved. I think in the future big bussinesses will become over powering the other smaller ones, onfortunitly. Because you see more and more small businesses go out of business.
the one with noname is mine!!

I think it is a good idea to keep small business open. I think that small business are gonna get shut down by bigger businesses. However, I think that online shopping is going to take over. You can get the same items online for a small fraction of the price. -Josh Cutchins
I think its great. I would participate in one if I had the money on me because so many small businesses have to close down sue to this bad economy. I think small businesses will always exist but there wont always be as many as there are now. I think as time goes on more and more small businesses will have to shut down but, hopefully our economy will get better one day and more small businesses can open.
I think if its helping then good. No I wouldn't go to one. I think that wal-mart will put them out of business.
I think that cash mobs are a good idea. They help people become aware of small businesses that they may ahve not knew of before. I think I might participate in one if given the opportunity. I think that small businesses will always exist. Not everyone likes going to the big stores like Wal-Mart. If cash mobs continue then so will small busineses.
This isn't a bad idea. All businesses start off small, they don't become large corporations overnight. I would participate in one. Small businesses are important like big ones.

I think this is a really good idea. I would participate in one! It helps small businesses. I think it is wonderful. I think small businesses will always exist. All the time people want something that a small business have. For example, my grandma owns a florist. It is a very small business. It is actually declining as the years go on. This year actually has been very good for her. If you think about it, Wal-Mart can not give the quality of a work of flowers like an actual florist can. So actually, the larger corporate businesses probably wouldn't do that anyways.
Cash mobs are good for small businesses to stay as a store. Yes, I would participate in one to help small businesses to stay in business. Small business will always exist because of people would like to own a business by themselves.

I think it's pretty cool and will help small businesses. I would participate in one in a heart beat. I believe there will always be small businesses, it will help competition. ZACH CAHALAN
I think that this cash mob idea is great because it helps small businesses with those extra bills. It also shows that there are still good people in this world that is still willing to be a help others rather than knock each other down. I think that the small businesses will continue to flourish even though stores like Wal-Mart and Sam's Club can offer just a little bit more. The reason that the small businesses will flourish, is because they can offer stuff just a little bit cheaper than bigger business.
I think cash mobs are a great idea. I would participate in one because I like helping people. Small businesses will be with us for a long time. Big corporate businesses typically mistreat their employees so a rebellion of employees is more likely than the complete failure of all small businesses.
I think that Cash Mobs are a great idea! If I had the money, I would most definitely participate in a Cash Mob.
Sadly, I think that small businesses won't last long if the bigger corporations keep getting bigger and bigger. The bigger corporations will most likely take over because smaller businesses don't have the big deals that places like Wal-Mart can offer their customers.
I think it is great that the cash mobs are helping out . People in small bussinesses need help also . If i was asked , i would definitely come out and help them get more money . I also think that big companies like walmart should be kind enough to help them out .
