Wal-Mart's influence grows
by crankymessiah at 2:20 pm EST, Jan 29, 2003 |
"Wal-Mart's influence on the U.S. economy has reached levels not seen by a single company since the 19th-century rise of Standard Oil, economists and historians say. Even if you don't shop at Wal-Mart, the retail powerhouse increasingly is dictating your product choices -- and what you pay -- as its relentless price cutting helps keep inflation low." Interesting article on just how huge Wal-Mart has become. |

Why are we buying all this stuff? I mean, billion dollar sales days? C'mon! 1.3M employees? Do you realize that just the turnover rate in a month is higher than most company's complete staff? And they're going to add 800K more in 3 years? Holy CRAP! |
