Wal-Mart - Page 2

Wal-Mart may not have the items on the floor that attract (ALL of) today's shoppers, but I don't ever remember Wal-Mart ever being a place were people shop for luxurious items. It is very obvious Target stores are appealing to higher-income customers, but really.. if you were looking for high quality name brand lawn furniture would you really start there? I don't think so. Most Wal-Mart shoppers just want to get enough plastic chairs to handle all their family coming over for a BBQ, not a $100 chaise lounge chair with matching $500 porch swing and $1100 outdoor cabana.

And being a faithful Wal-Mart shopper, there are some things I expect to buy there cheaper, and if I wanted quality name brand clothes I know I go elsewhere. I don't think Wal-Mart is going to go anywhere.

Yet another example of how Wal-Mart is throwing around her weight:

Coke-Cola must really get a lot of revenue from Wal-Mart to bow under pressure.

Actually, it is pretty amusing when one giant literally 'sticks it' to another, and forces them to change their rules. This is usually a bigger company mandating a smaller company, but when two giants butt heads like this, and one bows to another, it really shows that even big companies are subject to change.
I am not sure whether Coke is receiving a lot of revenue, but you have to think Wal-Mart is a huge distributor of their product, and to lose them would not only be a blow to them, but an advantage to their competitors.

I don't know what is the big deal with Wal-Mart, I wouldn't even be caught dead in there, don't tell me that you people actually shop there? I guess you poor people have to go to the less classy places?
