The greed that people have is one of the themes in The Devil and Tom Walker. People are willing to wage just about anything to make quick, easy, money.

Even though in today’s society we like to say, “Money isn’t everything” we all know it’s a great proportion of everything. If we start looking toward romantic and transcendentalist ideas maybe that will change though I highly doubt it.
Another reason people like to defend Wal-Mart is because they have better prices than most everyone else which is easier on peoples wallets. Wal-Mart has become such a household name that most people will shop there without checking out other business when they realistically could be spending a little extra pocket change and helping their economy and help control this giant corporation.

Francis stated “I’ve got all the money I need,” this shows that he is still in the business to help the consumers and not to be greedy. This is also very evident from Francis lowering the size of the stores which lower shelf space, and in essence, lowers sales, but this was done by Francis just to make sure the costumers are happy in the environment instead of seeming like a wholesale store that doesn’t care about individual customers.
