14. I'm thinking just the opposite.

After Holiday returns impact a corporations bottom line. Walmart
may have a slim margin between cost and retail price in order to
keep their prices so competitive.

I'd like to hear from someone with some knowledge on the subject.
Wondering if those of us that would never shop there did the opposite
of a boycott. Bought one product and returned it following their company
return policy so the we received a full refund within 30 days after purchase.

If we used a credit card it may even be a more costly process for handling
and credit card company charges to the retailer.

This would also require the staff to handle returns at the register, restocking
etc. so would not contribute to job loss.

I just really despise Wallmart.
