And the nation’s largest retailer — which moved a quarter of a trillion dollars’ worth of goods last year — usually gets its way. Suppliers who don’t accede to Wal-Mart’s “everyday low price” mantra often find their products bounced from the chain’s stores, excluded from being sold to the 138 million people who shop at a Wal-Mart store every week.
more proof that wal-mart is the antichrist.
“But we like to price things as cheaply as we possibly can, rather than charge as much as we can get. It’s a big difference in philosophy, and we try to help other people see that.”
what they *really* mean is,
“we like to shove as much of our cheap, mass-produced crap down your throats for your mass consuming pleasure in our filthy, loud, economony-monopolizing, soul sucking atmosphere that generally makes you lose your will to live within the first three minutes. it’s not a very original philosophy and we will crush anyone who refuses to adhere to that.”
