For investors, most annual meetings are anything but a hot ticket. They're typically held in small auditoriums and feature an agenda that makes C-Span look like an action thriller.

What is Wal-Mart executives to think? Seems they are wrong no matter which way they turn. Quite a dilemma for them!

I applaud their efforts.

I would rather shop at Walmart than KMart or Target. I know that I can get what I am looking for and for a pretty reasonable price. And All the employees are very friendly and nice to deal with when I do have a Question. Somtimes they are slow to react to my needs but for the most part they johnny on the spot.
