Actual headline: Walmart crushed expectations, and shares are exploding. I am not sure you understand the concept of “negative publicity,” But Wal-Mart gave all their employees pay raises. I was promised that would kill profits. Very low prices might have something to do with it. Since and while they are considerably cheaper on the exact same name brand items when compared to regular grocery stores, I’ll keep shopping there.
And 9 times out of 10 you aren’t going to know the difference. The customers are free to shop at Walmart’s competitor, which is an hour out of the customer’s way because the other nearby shops went out of business for some reason.I hate having to get dressed up to go to Wal Mart.
