Blame the customers if you wish.

If you offer a better value to your customers than the next guy, and more people come to you, does that mean that you are putting those other people out of business? Should your customers be forced to do business with your competitors, and not with you, because it's unfair that you offer better value?

How about we just force people to pay higher prices for the goods that they want and need, so that we can be "fair" to businesses that charge more?

You argument is like which comes first the chicken or the egg.

Walmart affects the closure of stores nearby period. The # of business closures near a walmart is much higher then areas miles from one. (You can google this shit and find supporting facts)
