Ok, Thank you Antonio for your insight to the chow problem. Much appreciated! I knew the words "Distribution chain" will come up sooner or later. I feel this thread is beginning to spin and fracture into several different lines of debate. The Distribution chain means Trucks. And alot of them. If you wanted to drive a truck into a walmart and not have any problems.. your options is to either drive for walmart, sign onto a carrier with walmart drop and hook priveldges or with several contract carriers that operate effectively as a owner operator extension to walmart's fleet. Outside carriers were usually required to arrive within 15 minutes of an appointment time or they will lose the dock and be made to be delayed hours or a day. Outside carriers usually needed to transfer funds to walmart for unloading of the cargo. The control of the cargo regarding damage, lost or missing items are very very good. Usually items will get to a walmart shelve in good condition but occasionally a damaged item will be discovered after the customer took it home. Nothing is perfect. I dont count social class or status or income at all when I consider who goes to walmart. It is irrevelant here. Now that since this is brought up, I will offer to you that for example in Gallup New Mexico there is a first class walmart superstore. Except that is all Indian and some Immigrants that shop there. Whites and other races were in the big minority in Gallup. My point is that regional walmarts now reflect the community it is located in. What a difference from the downtowns that once held this distinction. Lee
