| 83. You are great with platitudes, Skittles. Now tell me what you've observed |
|
personally about Wal-Mart. I have a large family and I am in the shopping 'trenches' as far as pricing and items and personnel, and service at stores goes. Go ahead and tell me what you've see with your own eyes. Don't just tell me how good everyone should assume you are.
