It would only add 25 cents to clothing prices to have safer conditions in Bangladesh

36. The weirdly specific prices they have suggest smaller margins on stuff

You know how most stores will say something costs x.99 or x.49 or x.50 or whatnot, while there's lots of things at Walmarts that are x.02 or x.94 and so on? That they're doing that sort of thing implies that it's worth it for them to work out prices with that kind of absurd specificity, which starts making more sense when you're using colossal economies of scale to have the extra couple of pennies add up.

I wouldn't be surprised if their profit margins on a lot of items weren't terribly huge, considering their prices, but they sell such an overwhelming amount (and screw their staff so much) that they're doing more than okay despite that. The amount of goods Walmart moves is a bigger deal than how much any of them costs.
