Wal-Mart pays attention to the slightest details. This is why they are so successful.
Case in point: I recently cleaned out the Wal-Marts in my local area of Duck brand mounting tape (the removable kind).
I bought the entire inventory of this tape in the stores in Hudson NH, Chelmsford MA, Tewksbury MA, Hudson MA, and Salem, NH.
This represents about $150 worth of tape. A tiny drop in the bucket with Wal-Mart.
Nevertheless, within a few days, the stores completely replenished their stocks of this tape.

Exactly, however my local Home Defect is terrible at stock replenishment. Months can pass by until a particular item is restocked.
I figured they are losing thousands of dollars in sales in this one store alone.
Aisles are continually blocked with goods. Shelves are mismarked, poorly stocked, out of stock. And don't get me started on the cashier situation. LOL
It's amazing how a national chain allows these conditions in one of it's stores.Somebody is asleep at the switch.
