But, as has been discussed many times, we don't shop at Wal Mart expecting to receive stellar customer service.
I had heard, at least ten years ago, that Wal Mart was in the process of forcing all its suppliers to start including RFID tags on/in their products. The idea there is that your entire cart could be tallied in seconds. That would really put a lot of folks out of jobs.

Exactly , so we all can just consume and use company credits rather than dollars and live on company housing.
