(36,016 posts)Walmart knows its markets and demographics. It's a question of liability, robbery, and selling more carefully (even discriminating about who they'll tell no to, or sell to). Everything you've credited them for has saved or improved their bottom line and lowered their financial risk. Theirs has been cost/benefit analysis.
THE top corporation on the continent has the corporate mindset and is better at meeting profit goals than any competitor, except maybe Costco. Walmart also controls retail supply lines throughout the country, but not Costco's supply lines. I would never take the PR word of a corporation that has made big corporate donations to Republicans for decades, and whose profits could still be made during times of social tensions and instabilities.
My lifelong boycott of Walmart stands.
