You have to be careful because WalMart has very shady business practices. |
Our local WalMart does the same for our schools. The recently donated 1000's to my daughter's elementary school. Again, I guess it's just differs case by case.
As far as "shady practices"...similar situations to those you have described happen every single day with all companies. It's part of surviving as a 'business'--to try to attract and win your competition's customers, to try to get the lowest price from your vendors.

You might have someone who worked for the local drug store that went out of business and all that is left is WalMart. I've seen it happen. |
I completely agree with you! I did not mean to generalize and or imply that it was the situation in all cases. (I guess I should have stated that, but I figured it would be a given.) And yes, there are some major "system errors" at fault--instead of trying to weed out the problems, everyone is just given the benefit of the doubt.
