In the Wall Street Journal today, they cite how Wal-Mart is thriving in the downturn.  Seems more folks are buying there than ever.

An interesting statistic -- for all consumer purchases in the U.S. (excluding housing and automobiles, and I suppose motorcycles---) out of every dollar that consumers spend in America 8.2% goes to a Wal-Mart cashier.  Amazing.

You just don't ever want to be a supplier to Wal-Mart.  They will make sure that you don't make a dime!

Hoot...By the "tone" of you voice, I'm guessing you either are or were a quality assurance professional   :-?

I can see how you came to that conclusion.. But what I meant was.. Walmart often has cheaper quality crap...
