I do not care about national averages. I do care about the prices I see for myself on the shelves. The only thing I have purchased from WM in the past three months was a large container of liquid detergent sold on sale as a special item.

OK, that's fair enough, we all have to adjust our lives to our local conditions.

What threw me off was you quoting what I assumed to be nation average assertions about the number of WM EEs who needed welfare etc.

Are those numbers unique to your local area, or are they national numbers?
