#1 Please, I was very disturbed to read this article
since I fix my own car!
I buy from Walmart to save on shipping costs.
I prefer Walmart and their third party sellers to Jeff Bezos.
I was slow to get it, since there was no reference to the recent WM decision to stop selling certain bullets.
Please, add a few more clues in this article for the clueless.

#2 Remington had a shotgun made with Sam Walton's picture and signature on it, the Remington 1100 Sam Walton. Companies rarely emulate their original founders. Even Disney is nothing like the founder Walt Disney.

#5 Car parts have got to be cheaper at parts sellers than at walmarts ?

#6 why?

Most of the cost of sale is overhead, not the part. Walmart runs with lower overheads than a specialist store.

#7 Oh. Country to country differences.

Where I live, the overheads of an Airconed superstore with amenities and assistance personnel are often greater than the simple warehouse, stocking car-parts. You take your part to be replaced, or just tell them if it's a common enough item. You wait a few minutes and they bring it to you.

#8 Yeah, where you live a lot of the overhead comes from the shrinkage associated with jhuggi wallahs stealing everything they can.

#9 Not so much as socialists stealing from businesses to pay the 'jhuggiwalas' voting for them.

The beauty of playing Bee/Not Bee. You should see the dollar jar of mine, getting the guess wrong.

Reminds me to cash the kitty to 'Burg.

#11 Chasing away the pro-gun crowd will cut the Walmart customer base in half and the left won't fill the gap (even if they pretend to be pro-Walmart right now).

Increased prices on junk made in China or previously made in China will chase away the other half of their customer base.

Bad times get worse when you think Virtue signalling is a viable plan.

#13 If Walmart wants to save lives so bad, start with alcohol. Lets see how much that takes off the bottom line.
