One high priced, upscale grocery store ad states, "Why would you buy your lettuce where you buy your TV?" What does that mean? Trying to slam Walmart probably is not going to work. Perhaps their lettuce is less expensive because they make money on selling that TV. My philosophy, if I had been Sam, would have been, sell the produce and the canned goods at cost, to get them in the store, once in, we can make money on all the other products.
We were in a Walmart today, a Monday afternoon, and they were pretty busy. The store is loaded with a variety of products, a lot of them directed as gifts, and many I saw had full carts, a few of them had two carts.
We are a spoiled country. Go in to practically any store, look at the variety, the quantity, it is overwhelming. We are spoiled. We needed to get a ham for Thanksgiving. Many different brands, some sliced, a variety of prices, all reasonable, we got a basketball sized ham, fully cooked, for $15. I looked no farther, had a hard time fitting it in the fridge though.
And, as soon as she rung up the ham, they knew about it a their supply center, it was noted, and when needed, they will receive more of those hams. Walmart has the second largest computer system, second only to the Defense Department.
Miss Emma, a great granddaughter, has a birthday soon,, her Mother suggested a Fisher-Price Little People Disney Princess Songs Palace Play Set.Went to a website, could order it to be delivered to the store, with five options for delivery date. We went to our Walmart, about five blocks away, got one for $26. Other stores were in the 30,40 and 50's, how great is that?
