Default RE: walmart sucks

Indy Hunter; Many hunters do not have a local Archery shop to buy from and the reality is not everyone has a credit card to order items overnight , or want to pay the extra shipping charges for the overnight item. That is why so many turn to Wal-Mart and many of the larger chain stores in their local areas. Your guess that I dont shop at Wal-mart is incorrect.I wasnt dissapointed that they wouldnt order an item 3 weeks prior to the end of season, I was dissapointed that they couldnt order an item 3 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE END OF SEASON. Broadheads are not a perishable item that will be a waste cost item to Wal-Mart it is a item that will store in backstock if not sold this year to sell next year, or can be left on the shelf to sell the remaining 3 months of the season. I usually shop at Wal-Mart because of the consistancy, Prices ,convience, Quality and avaliablity of items. I am aware that this is a seasonal dept so it is limited in shelf lifespan but really, only 2 weeks in season are open for orders( not including preseason ordering)so now it is no longer convienent , available or consistant to me. I dont usually buy there because his markup on items is Jawdropping usually, but I took the chance and they had what I was looking for, and for once it was $5.00 less than Wal-Mart. I have also found a few good Larger Chain stores in our area that have not succump to the influence of the Anti sentiment or presure.So the statement of take Wal-Mart for its worth, its only Wal-Mart, is a pretty realistic idea to me . Do you think this is what the corp office wants to be their new advertising campaign?
