>>What, exactly, in this story do you see as something Wal Mart is doing wrong?<<

Actually I see nothing wrong, rather where it leads. WMT buys virtually all products from China. Replace the majority of employees with robots and who gains? At some point in the future we Americans will have to start protecting our jobs or no money exists to buy WMT goods.

once again, most of the products you see at Walmart are available elsewhere (usually at higher prices). Local Mom and Pop stores, Target, Drug Stores, major department stores etc. all get a lot of products from China. If you have recently bought furniture it very likely was made in China. Please don't assume that China is a Wal-mart problem. It is simply where it is cheap to currently produce pretty good quality goods.
