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. Posted by Jake on 02/12/06 @ 12:22 PM

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 |
