They also opened up their Gulf stores right after the storm and gave away their stocks of food and staples to the needy.

WalMart has a huge presence in the Gulf states. It is good business to contribute to disasters in areas where you have a lot of stores. Have I ever said Costco was a wonderful place? I don't think so, so I'm puzzled you mentioned them in comparison, but maybe you are making a different statement and I didn't understand it. Does Costco even operate in the South?

A couple family members went grocery shopping in a superwalmart in the Spring area (north of Houston) last night. Many bare shelves (canned goods, milk, grocery items) - first time that's been seen in one of their stores. Maybe its the demand from the increased population here. Or people buying to donate or stocks being diverted to disaster areas.
