Well, no. Wal-Mart did a lot of work to find it's suppliers. we would get stuck paying that cost if we went hunting ourselves.

Yes, that's why in fact we do go to Walmart. But if we got the information and could buy over the Internet and "magically" know what we were getting as well as we learn that by shopping in the store, and "magically" could get the product when we want it rather than waiting for delivery as we in truth do when we order something via the Internet, then you have to admit that we would be better off without paying WalMart, its stockholders or its employees.

I was echoing Physicist, and his point was that we go to WalMart to get things, not to give money to WalMart's employees or anyone else.

Anyone who thinks that a WalMart employee should have more money can remedy that situation by the simple expedient of reaching in their wallets and giving him the money they think he should have.
