-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bothuns Sent: Friday, July 11, 2003 6:34 PM To: Jamie Groth; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Winona] Walmart I see this as simply a lesser of two evils, and we all know that Wal-Mart is the low cost leader. JMHO Bryon Bothun GS comments: My experience with Wal-Mart is that they are like any other retailer. You CAN NOT assume they are always the low price. This was reinforced to me in Watertown, WI yesterday when I called the local Super Wal-Mart and a small (less than 1,000 sq feet) local computer store. The small store was $9 lower on Norton AV 2003. As a matter of fact, they were about $2 lower than the copy I bought at Best Buy last fall. Some of you may recall a few years ago that Wal-Mart was using the "always to low price" or something close) in there advertising. They were forced to change it because it was not true. Wal-Mart seems not a lot different than any other store to me. They offer better value on some things than on others. Stay away from their non name brand low price stuff. Often it is not worth the money, IMNSHO. I shopped Wal-Mart quite a bit when I lived in Tomah, WI for almost 6 years (before Tomah got a Super Wal-Mart). I did not really like the shopping experience there: a lot of quality concerns, narrow assortment in a lot of departments and I HATE the greeters. I want to be able to find knowledgeable help at my convenience, until then, leave me alone.
