He could have phoned or sent an email. Wouldn't have had to sit in those uncomfortable chairs.
Walmart=bad I guess.
I've sold to Walmart, and was impressed with how unassuming the corporate office is. Notice how a rich liberal would be disgusted by the lack of a gilded headquarters with lush surroundings. Hypocrisy abounds. If the chairs were worth $1,000 they would complain about the waste of money which should go to the workers.
He had an opportunity to sell to Walmart. That's what counts. His refusal to deal does not mean Walmart is evil, they just have a different idea of who the customer is...and it's not the supplier. It's the CUSTOMER who walks into the store. I was a supplier, not the CEO, and even stupid me understood the concept. Get off your high horse Snapper.
This article is irrelevant, suppliers make these kind of decisions all of the time and if he can sell without Walmart great for him, but don't make a stinkin' political statement out of it.
