>current year wars
where corporations fighting will cause more bloodshed than nations/ political units fighting

Well, that was fast. I knew they wouldn't take kindly to the Whole Foods buyout. WalMart has been passively fighting Amazon for sometime now, but doing so by eating itself. Eliminating job positions (a computer does all scheduling in most stores), eliminating associates (self-checkouts, and no associates to be found for assistance unless you need meet sliced or you want to buy a telephone), and eliminating full-time positions by replacing them with part-timers who won't qualify for any benefits. WalMart has also tried to increase traffic to online sales. All this has done is kill their customer service while increasing theft in their stores (fewer people working there). So now they've gone on the offensive with Amazon. Should be interesting to see how this pans out. My money is on Amazon, personally.

10 bucks amazon buys walmart by the end of this year or summer

I'd agree with this
who knew we'd live to see Walmart fall

It also ties in with the current collapse of retail stores, walmart has weathered the storm, but not without significant damage

What caused this feud?

>>131654570
They compete for the same customers and sell similar products now
Amazon is also one of the factors wiping out traditional brick and mortar stores

>neither want anything to do with Romania
How come?

Would you love that dish served wth the crash of the food industry for the public market kind sir.

Can't believe I'm on Wal Mart's side in this.

Armored Core here we come!

about a week ago, some dude held a family a gunpoint and forced them to shop at target. I'm really looking forward to the retail wars

That won't happen. There are too many chain grocery stores, as well as local markets if you feel like being a hippy.

>>131654822
Nigga you ever heard of a grocery store?

>>131654410
Lol. Target could happen. Walmart not so much.

>buying groceries at Walmart
Ingles will rain supreme in 2018 once Walmart fails the mass surplus of food stuffs hits the markets you will see a dollar on all food stuffs drop at local groceries.

>also checked

>>131655032
You do have a point, there's more markets besides Walmart, but some states will get fucked hard if this happens >>131655140
Walmart is a huge thing In the industry, and I'm not saying I'm correct but don't some stores like smiths buy from walmart and depend on them some what.

>>131654822
Giant, Food Lion, Wegmans, Aldi, and Amazon Fresh to name a few.

No, they buy products in bulk from a distributor or directly from the place of manufacture. They don't buy from a store since retailers get bigger discounts from distributors when they buy in bulk.

I worked at walmart both in a store and in a DC. I also worked at an Amazon.

If you dont dump all your cash into Amazon stock you are a fucking idiot. The only thing keeping WM afloat is government subsidies. I dont like amazon but they are the future, unfortunately.
