If true , it would cost Mobil more money in lost profits by purposely making a cheaper , different oil to ship to WM (too much to manage) ... I venture to say WM is likely Mobil's largest customer thus the sheer volume WM buys the M1 for is passed on to the consumer with less mark up than a auto parts store .

This is likely the case for blenders who blend house brands. Unless there is a dedicated production line.

People love to hate Walmart . It makes them feel like part of something special . Really it just shows their ignorance .

Is it ignorance-realization, where Walmart has put millions of businesses - right out of business?
Our country was founded on startup successes of small business. So is it ignorant for any American citizen to start a new business today, within miles of a Walmart?

Sounds more like you are ignorant - than me, for hating Walmart.

Running a business is never a given. Any business whether a mom and pop or a giant corporation has to adapt to the changing climate.

Detroit is a perfect example. They depended on one industry and figured it would never change. They were wrong.

I don't shop Walmart for two primary reasons:
1. The demographic that's typically found there
2. Canadian Tire has better prices on the extremely short list of products that I might be interested in.

I buy all my meat, raised locally, at the butcher. I buy shoes at a shoe store. I buy all my electronics wholesale, at Costco or on Amazon, and clothing isn't captured by what Walmart offers, nor do I figure I am their target audience with what they do carry.

Mindless consumerism is a disease. Our infatuation as a society with a consumption-geared lifestyle is exploited by mega-retailers like Walmart who carry all the disposable garbage you could ever want to break and replace. That's not a philosophy I live by, ergo Walmart doesn't really have much to offer me other than a chance to be in proximity to those I'd rather not be.

Wow. Just wow.

You decry Walmart for is parasitic consumerism, and then praise amazon in the next sentence?

"I'm much too refined to defile myself amongst the unwashed denizens of Walmart. I get my consumerism fix at the other giant conglomerate that treats its employees like fodder. Proles!"

The mental gymnastics in this thread are beyond belief.

Walmart is shunned by many here because of their customer demographics to put it nicely. I find that rude and inconsiderate people are everywhere, unfortunately you cannot avoid them unless you stay home.

Im more likely to run into rude inconsiderate customers at Dillard's the Walmart.

I didn't praise Amazon, I simply indicated that I've bought product from there. Why?
- Oil filters are 1/2 the price at Amazon than they are at Walmart or Canadian Tire
- Amazon has a massively broader selection of brands like Ravenol for example
- Amazon is an excellent source for old, obsolete or obscure computer parts
- This stuff is shipped to my house, so I don't need to have the "social experience"

Agreed, I just find the attempts to rationalize THAT decision using "I hate consumerism," while patronizing amazon to be exceptionally hypocritical.

Heck, curbside pickup and free two day shipping are a thing at Walmart now too.

"Blind consumerism is a disease!" -overkill

"I don't shop at Walmart because consumerism. i decry consumption-geared lifestyles from mega conglomerates. Walmart is evil." - overkill

"Hey amazon is pretty nifty, check out these super non-poor people products like ravenol." - also overkill

Interesting turn of events in this thread. I try and buy from whoever is reputable and sells what I want the cheapest. Thanks to the Internet for making it easier. Depending on what I'm looking for prices can vary a lot for identical items. Those savings are better in my pocket, and I have no problem spending my hard earned money at WMT or AMZN if the price is right. Which includes oil and filters.

 

[PimTac]

I'm finding that Walmart is much cheaper on oil versus Amazon, save for their Basics brand. Buy online and pickup in store or have it delivered to you doorstep.

This solves two issues with one step for most.
