RE:"Well after that fiasco, Wal Mart may be losing share........period. When they didn't have enough per store, why didn't they announce they would honor the requests of the first 500 customers or first 300 customers and put them on back order? Really lousy handling of the problem"

You'd complain about anything. Even if it was free.

WalMart isn't alone in this practice. All retailers offer "loss leaders" like this to get people in the door. It's retail marketing 101.

Recently, I bought a paper shredder advertised at a local furniture and home accessories store for $5! I looked all over the store for them, and when I asked where they were the clerk pulled one up from behind the counter.
