Do you think the Chinese tariffs will hurt Amazon?
The last post is spot on, Walmart is constantly wasting money on stupid c-ap like this instead of investing in its workforce. Walmarts 2% raises are far from mediocre though, with inflation above 2% we're all being paid less than last year, really shows how much they appreciate their loyal "associates"...
Wal-Mart is spending profit — your well deserved wage increases — to ship freight faster to their customers. There is no way to spin that, it’s true. Pay low wages to their employees, mediocre pay increases every year — that’s Wal-Mart right now.
My store just had the best month ever

I was just in one of my town's WMs today, and judging from that experience, WM is not in any kind of trouble at all. Lines from here to eternity, streams of customers everywhere, non stop activity, shelves getting cleaned out-----no, we're not likely going to see the WM of 10--15 years ago, but those places are still doing a tidy business.
So much so I think a lot of what we read on here is bullsh!t.
What a paranoid company run by id--ts this is. Will soon be operating at a loss just because the mo--ns at the top have Amazon on the brain. God forbid another company is successful, just keep chasing Amazon at any cost. All that matters is running every other company into the ground so we can have our monopoly...
Hardly. WM will continual to live in Amazon's shadow. WM has become a copycat. They are no longer innovative.
I hope we can do a better job than Amazon but I'm not confident.
I'm currently gaming Amazon's system of one day delivery failure credits because they can't seem to wrap their heads around the fact hat USPS won't deliver to my door and the packages are too large.
USPS gets a box, it won't fit, they take it back to the post office and tell me I can pick it up the next day.
I contact amazon, tell them it's late because the package is too large and they picked the wrong carrier and they give me a $5 credit.
I tell USPS I'm not circumnavigating a lake to pick up the package and they can send it back.
I border again and go through the same thing. I've told Amazon that they can't ship large items to me via USPS but they can't seem to figure out how to handle it.
I even asked them to not use USPS (they're unreliable anyway) but they're stick in a loop. I'm openly and publicly doing this and they don't care. It's stupid.
Thankfully it's a low priority item and I don't actually need it.
Some day it will show up... maybe.
