Walmart has developed inventory control and supplier systems that the US military (and other militarys around the world) have copied because it is so revolutionary.
Once again, people want cheap prices...but they aren't willing to accept the other side of the deal. Foreign outsourcing.
Wal-mart in my town was attempting to build a new super center. However it was supposedly on top of graves (like there is any place in the world without a grave there from some point or another). Well, people bitched and protested, so no store was built.
Now, a few years later, a developer has put up a town house development.... Yeah, so where were those idiot protestors for that?

Yeah, I kinda think Wal-Mart is bad. In order to give you those cheap prices, it forces companies to outsource and go oversees. Companies have to make their products cheaply in order to meet the price that Wal-Mart agrees to buy the product at. So, you get a crappy product for less. Great, that's what I want.
It (Wal-Mart) doesn't pay their workers a 'liveable' wage forcing two things. One, the only place they can afford to shop is Wal-Mart. Two, they ENCOURAGE their workers to file for welfare and other forms of goverment aid. So while your saving the big bucks by shopping there, in the long run, you're paying for it because you're supporting the workers that work there because they're on government aid.
