Hey, that was unnecessary. When there are natural disasters, such as during Katrina, the local Walmarts often provide a lot of free merchandise to the communities in trouble. We joke a lot about Wal-Mart (I tell my family that I need to get my shots, and to put on my pith helmet, when we go over there) - but they are OK in my book.
Yep. And each and every one of the things that Wal-Mart does in response to disasters was thought about ahead of time and planned for by excellent management. And carried out by excellent leaders who execute their jobs superbly.
The Wal-Mart people I was kicking in the ribs are most definitely not those people. When I go to Wal-Mart, I don't get to see those guys.

I hate to tell you, but Walmart didn’t give away anything for free after Katrina. All they did was rake in the money.
Meanwhile many of the locally owned businesses gave away free services and restaurants gave away tens of thousands of free meals. One that I know of gave away over 70,000 free meals.
