They seem to be doing something right.<BR/><BR/>I for one hate going into Walmart. Its crowded and there is no one to help you find what you want in the gigantic store. There are long lines and parking is terrible.<BR/><BR/>If all Walmart customers could be converted to get more-or-less the same prices, but avoid all the hassles (that are part of the large expenses for Walmart), a large amount of volume could be moved.<BR/><BR/>I'd rather have 1% of a million peoples purchases than 25% of a thousand people's purchases, to misquote the famous quote.Tom Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14467426732510272679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199378812312362684.post-42908796586959138152007-08-28T06:53:00.000-07:002007-08-28T06:53:00.000-07:00Last time I checked there were no sales people at ...Last time I checked there were no sales people at Walmart.
