I don't believe that Wal-mart sells inferior products under the same brand name, but here is exactly why I don't shop there: earlier this spring I went to the local Wal-mart to stock up on turkey hunting gear. Did I need it? No. Was I gonna buy it any way? Hell yes!!! So as I'm strolling through the sporting goods I keep looking, and looking, and looking for turkey gear but to no avail, they had none. Absolutly nothing. Being that the early turkey season had already started, I wondered, why don't they have anything? So I asked the counter person( after she had to come over from fabrics) only to get the reply "I dunno". That just ain't gonna cut for me. Hell I live in redneck city U.S.A. ( and I am one) so why the hell won't they stock what well most definatly sell? I give up, so I won't spend dollar one in that place.[:-]
