Wal-Mart and homeland security- you can't make this stuff up

[scooterbug44]

You don't become number one by making your customers unhappy.

Actually you do - if customer satisfaction is not what drives your profits.

That is why Wal-mart has to keep expanding, finding cheaper suppliers, and running its competition out of business - fair and direct competition is their achille's heel.

Wal-mart is typically ranked #1 worst (or close) on Forbe's list of Best and Worst companies for customer satisfaction - category retail department and discount stores.

I was pleasantly surprised by Publix's prices when I picked up a few things the day I covered the Elf ride. They were very competitive with what I am used to seeing.

Publix's buy one get one free sale is where you can really clean up Alicia! I usually get 100-120 dollars worth free groceries on a monthly basis. (I shop for Imy and I once every two weeks).

Yep, one of the myths is that Wal-mart has the lowest prices on everything. They just mark down some stuff to lure you in.

This is the site I was telling you about (thanks bob) where you can see what is on sale, BOGO, and it lets you make up your own shopping list of sale items.

Somewhere on one of these threads Lucifer Sam said he thought Wally World drug tests. Publix doesn't. I'm just throwing that out there.;-)

Actually both drug test. They pass the lower workmans comp savings on to you.

I usually shop Tuesday night and then go back Wednesday that's when the sales switch over. At one point it was a mass migration from the coffee klatch to Publix.

The automotive section at Publix sucks, I couldn't find a single American made tire or battery.
