I compared them to a grocery store since you were ridiculing me for their "small" profit margin.

Their profit margin is small.

And Wal-Mart sells food, too, including Chinese tilapia, for example.

How much of their total revenue is food, including Chinese tilapia, for example?

How does that compare to a typical grocery store?

But not as small as grocery stores -- groceries get a disproportionate share of their profits from personal care and 'sundries' ; I don't have access to the relative profitability of different product lines or departments at Wally World.

Cheers!
