[quote ztirffritz]Proof that Walmart is evil. Not satisfied with wiping out local businesses, they've started to suck the life out of other evil greedy huge corporations now.
No its proof that CC is just a crapily run company, and that you hate Walmart because it's chic to do so.
Here is the reality: the CE market leader right now is BB, which grossly OVERPRICES almost everything they sell. In fact, that is their stated market strategy. They openly renounced the "value buyer' a couple years ago. So I'm not sure how your logic of Walmart undercutting competition to force them out works.
Moreover, it's really hard to compare Walmart's craptastic assortment of CE junk with that over CCs. I can bargain hunt @ CC with the right coupons or competitor ads. Walmart doesn't even come close to handling the decent brands or models, must less the assortment. What it comes down to is the CC execs can't really find a marketing strategy that works. That is their fault not their competition's.
