As good as WalMart is in regards to customer service/relations they run roughshod over their suppliers. The suppliers are caught in a bind because of WalMart's market share.

Are you kidding? If suppliers feel abused by Wal-Mart, they don't have to sell to them. (Yeah, right!)

What supplier is caught in a bind because of Wal-Mart? If anything, Wal-Mart makes suppliers more efficient by forcing them to squeeze costs out of their structure to meet WM's price demands.

It's all good for consumers, which is Wal-Mart's bottom line.

Wal-Mart's bottom line is making money. Nothing wrong with that but don't delude yourself that it's about the consumers.

They squeeze the cost out, certainly. American manfacturing jobs are exported to Communist China where all of the cost is squeezed out. Wal-Mart is the newest province of Communist China. I don't know just what it is they are thinking about in Bentonville but it isn't the welfare of our Republic or the American people.
