Wal-mart can sell all the products it wants. Why do they want to enter the services arena?

Their current stock of products and "help" of salespeople, I wouldn't recommend any services they'd provide just because of their record.

1. Well one thing..a lot of people are being helped by their 4 dollar prescriptions
AND a lot of other companies are following suit. So this is, something, good they have done.

2. Considering the fact that WalMart will ONLY buy from the
vendor who will do anything to drive the price to it's absolute lowest point, and considering their record of selling items detrimental to people's health, do you really expect me to trust a $4 prescription from them?

3. As long as the $4 generics come from the same place the $20 generics do, no problem...

Which is probably China, but whatever...

Still, a pill is a product. Not a service.

How many doctors does Walmart employ? Apart from the ophthalmologists, whom I wouldn't trust with a magnifying glass.
