  • A WMT exec confirmed the research report...this was kind of expected, in that the people most affected by the return to the regular payroll rate would be Wallmart shoppers...things will settle in next month probably...

  • U think there'sa a big difference between the shoppers at Wmt and COST and TSCO and DKS and HIBB and CAB and TGT????

    Don't think so....maybe TIF and LULU but not the former
