Don't be offended. It's nothing personal, but you touched a nerve. Wal-Mart treats their employees & suppliers like dirt. They think nothing of placing a huge order with a small company & then pulling the plug after the product is all ready to ship, thus putting the supplier in a world of hurt, sometimes out of business. A few years back, Wal-Mart took out a $100,000 life insurance policy on a New Hampshire manager in his 40s. When he died of a heart attack, leaving a wife & kids, Wal-Mart calmly collected their $100,000 & thumbed their noses at the widow. I know she filed a lawsuit, but I don't know what became of it. I've worked in retail for a long time & Wal-Mart is just a big ugly bully. Again, don't be offended. Most people have no idea how unscrupulous this company is.
