No doubt that Wal-Mart's days are numbered. They may be the biggest retailer for now but its stuff like this that will provide an opening for another enterprising chain to begin stealing Wal-Mart customers by doing what Wal-Mart did in the beginning when Sam was alive, focus on the customer, not the employee.There's no other discount store in the country that focuses on its customers MORE than Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart is a $250 billion global company, larger than its two nearest competitors combined.
There's no room for any other "chains." The barriers to entry into the market are way too high.
As for focusing on employees, I read stories almost daily here that Wal-Mart disses its employees.
I've heard Wal-Mart does not advance their female employees at the same rate they do the male advancment. Can you enlighten me? I find this hard to believe what with Ms. Clinton being so involved in their beginning.
