The Man Who Said No To Wal-MartWhile, for the most part, every business wants their products to be sold at the 3,000+ Wal-Mart stores around the country, but I can very easily see why you wouldn't want to if you sold high-end quality equipment, and this is the story of one CEO who basically told Wal-Mart to pull his product line of Snapper lawn mowers (why you'd go to Wal-Mart to buy a lawn mower, I have no idea). Good commentary from both sides, calling him an idiot and some praising him (personally, while I don't mind Wal-Mart at all, and he's probably not going to win too many fans among his shareholders, I think he's got guts, that's for sure). Thanks Josh for the link. 1 CommentBill said on 03/12/06 @ 10:41 AM:More manufacturers should have the "guts" (or other appendages) to say NO to walmarts business practices. Did any one else watch the Front Line program "Is Walmart good for America" on PBS? http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/walmart/ Post a comment |
