Walmart was a huge retailer when Amazon was an obscure online book store.
Walmart already had massive distribution centers and a logistics/supply chain supplying all their stores, including their own trucks, all while Amazon was slowed and hampered with having to develop their own infrustructure.
All Walmart had to do was push their online presence and invest develop their own delivery system and they’d have exploited a killer head start. That last part is no easy task, and it’s still a huge problem for Amazon, but Walmart dropped the ball a long time ago.
Clearly he has a crappy phone...
Walmart should buy uber or lift and use for same day delivery.
WM needs more items on its website order page. And today the site refused to let us pay for an order. Amazing! The site kept going around in a stupid loop. We love WM but today we were forced to take our business elsewhere. We hope WM gets improved and we csn return to them soon.
Baseball cards were #10 in 1970? That’s kind of bizarre.
Walmart already lost this race....about 10 years ago.
Once upon a time, WalMart’s slogan was, “We buy American.” Then, Sam Walton passed away...
That photo is full of crap.
2017 - Kroger is ahead of Amazon??
Interesting. Since Kroger is a 112 Billion Dollar Company.
And Amazon is at 702 Billion.
I really liked the Woolworths when I was growing up. Classic childhood memories.
And there is a Browns Shoe store in the next town over I have been using exclusively for the last 15 years at least.
I miss Meijers. (I know, they’re not gone, but I’m not in the Midwest, at the moment)
As for Wally World vs Bezos, I wish them luck. They’ve got some catching up to do.
If/when the day comes that I can look up my desired widget on WM.com and get 2 day delivery (with included tracking) for free on my order, it’s goodbye Bezos.
For your interest.
a good idea.
Now, if we could “TURN OFF” ABCNNBCBS 24x7 TV coverage in the repubbie Senate and House waiting rooms and aides’ monitors.
they got my money on Black Friday. The Walmart close to me even carries pelleted livestock feed and their online store has become comparable to Amazon without the membership fee - they have just about everything. Gotta admire their leadership.
And if a return is required, I don't have to mail it back, I just take it to a local Walmart.............Amazon can't match that.

Costco has had a store within 2 miles of the airport in every country I have flown to in the last 15 years.
It’s simple, really. Don’t hire misogamist, mad cows and drunken philanderers into management.
I still cannot see the value of Amazon. Not for shopping and not as an investment.
I can always, ALWAYS!!!, find whatever I need or want, at a lower price at Walmart stores or Walmart online. I haven’t had anything that I can buy at lower prices on Amazon. The only thing Amazon offers is convenience, but not lower prices. And, the convenience part is also now being offered at Walmart stores or Walmart online.
And, it’s not just Walmart that has Amazon beat for best prices and wider selections. Target too has Amazon beat on hundreds of items. Amazon just gets the headlines, which to a lot of people translates to lower prices.
I haven’t bought anything form Amazon in more than 5 years. The only association I have with Amazon is the Firestick I use for watching TV and movies. I use the firestick but I don’t pay for any of Amazon’s movie or TV offerings; I go for the free stuff, including Netflix which I get included with my cellphone plan.
Nope! Can’t see the hype. Yeah, I see the Amazon growth, but, their growth doesn’t mean that they are the better of the options out there.

All gone now.
