This is not the Sam Walton we knew and loved.
I worked on Sam’s house when he was alive.
Wal-Mart was a great entity back then.
I rem when he had his little store first one.
It was a different time and place!
The guy had vision and built something of quality!
Whatever it is now is not the same!
When WM first came to our area in the late 80s, I vividly recall the proudly displayed “MADE IN THE USA” banners hanging everywhere in the store.
Haven’t seen them in a quite a while.
In the meantime, WM has become more expensive than the stores they tried to undersell.
Just the other day, I looked at the Netgear wireless extender they had for sale and it was a whopping $1.98 cheaper than Best Buy, just across the street.
So, to be spiteful, I paid the extra $2.
I don’t even get groceries there anymore.
The local Giant Foods undersells them on almost every item *and* everything is cleaner and fresher...not to mention the lack of a certain parasitic societal subset blocking all the aisles.
FWM.
