It's not yours!

[GROUCHO MARX]

I'm fascinated by the theory that Company A was put out of business by a customer to whom they sold product.

If one customer is that important to the survival of your business, I submit that the business belongs, in fact, to that customer.

If one employee is critical to the survival of any business, that employee, in fact, owns that business.

Just my thoughts.

True. Who are you referring too?

 

[GROUCHO MARX]

Wal-Mart.

What happened to Wal-Mart only selling American made goods?

Why would they? Don't you realize who's mostly shopping at Wal-Mart?

Wal-Mart is a microcosm of America.
or maybe of the government of America.
Or something.

The TV show KUNG FU was a microcosm of Wal-Mart, Grasshopper.

I am fortunate to have one of the worst Wall Marts by me, so I rarely bother to go there.

I sold an Expedition in a W-M parking lot last weekend. The buyers were not American, FWIW. It was a cash transaction & I was out-numbered 6 to 1. Wavinwayne was packing heat. This is completely off topic. Good day.

.....and oh, oh, I almost forgot; I also checked all their money with a counterfeit detection pen. My customer was a little insulted. Oh well, I can't be getting burned for $5K+

This has happen many times over the years. Even good ole' Sam would place big orders, wait his full 90 days before paying then return all unsold items still in wharehouses. Smaller manufacturers were bankrupted, then guess who stepped in and bought assets and started selling to wally the next week?
