WalMart provides a service few others can, at prices few others can.
YMMV, of course, but the cashiers and sales associates at my local Wally World are courteous and professional. They run the gamut from kids out of high school to retirees like myself.
I shop there frequently, and am under no illusions that what I'm buying didn't come from China.
Fact is, the computers that folks like to bash Chinese goods on via forums like APS have a plethora of Chinese parts inside.
It would do good to remember that the next time you go, "China? Icky-poo!" It makes you look, well...
In the meantime, Walmart's stock is climbing, while nearly everything else, save for McDonald's, is dropping as the economy tanks.
I'm not too sure about this, either:
Perxactly, you won't make Wall St. CEO wages if you drop out of hih skrwel.
I'd wager there aren't going to be as many exorbitant Wall St. CEO wages and golden parachutes now that the cat is out of the bag.
