No, because Walmart IS A DISCOUNT STORE, plus I only buy when things are on sale. I don't pay list price for anything that can be found discounted. I just saved $400 by having my new furnace shipped from Kentucky (I am in Michigan) including the freight. With the internet, there is no need to pay list price. Granted, some things don't get discounts, like gasoline and electricity, but if everyone were to shop around and only patronize the places that give a good price, most places would eventually have to cave in and discount. We already have a welfare system for those baby making machines, we don't need one for business as well. If all of us ran our businesses the way some hobby shops do, we would all be in the bread line. My customers insist on discounts or they take their business elsewhere. Why should I be any different? Why should you? Is that P2K GP9 from the LHS for $49.95 any different than the one I got from M B klein for $29.99? Exact same road and number, too. I am not telling you what to do, but as long as people are willing to pay list, the LHS has no incentive to lower prices.
