After suffering seven straight quarters of losses, today the merchandise giant Wal-Mart will announce that it is “going back to basics,” ending its era of high-end organic foods, going “green...” Once again this proves that "Going Green" does not resonate with the middle-class, it's expensive and a waste!

I still have never seen “agrula” in my middle class market (you know that trendy salad green Obama likes) in my middle class grocery store.

There was a good thread yesterday, worth the search if anyone is interested in comments.
Our store seems to be behind the times as it is still clearancing out what is left of the "heritage" goods -- the good stuff -- and shoveling in more featureless earth-pleasing pablum.

It’s a complete mystery why Walmart would try to cater to upscale shoppers. The type of upscale shopper who would buy organic produce and free range chicken is the exact same shopper who thrives on stories about how exploitative Walmart is.
Anyway, it’s nice to see that the fabric is coming back. Last time I went to Walmart to look for fabric, I thought it was just that store that didn’t have any. I didn’t realize it had been a corporate decision not to sell it. Do upscale shoppers never sew?

Another casualty of their hyper-just-in-time stocking strategy is any item that doesn’t sell every single day.
That’s what happened to the more interesting items in hardware and automotive. If one sold, say, only once every three days — it’s out. So in place of the interesting stuff say like freon conversion kits you get a whole aisle full of air fresheners. Lots of pastel earthy scents, too.

Maybe they will bring firearms back too. I wondered what idiot made the decision to take them out of most stores.

OMGoodness, they hired an AL Goreie? That alone should have caused 8 quarters of losses. Now they need to get rid of the person who made that idiotic decision.

Important note to Wal-Mart: Don’t just get rid of the dummies hired to execute this nonsense. Get rid of the bright boys (who have probably since been promoted) who brought them in the first place. Trace back and find out who was responsible, and get rid of them, and you will prevent such disaster in the future.

How did it work out? Why, just like every liberal idea... very badly.
