Even NASA uses this method. The only reason Walmart gets a bad rap is because it is so big and everyone wants a piece of the pie, even if it has to be by lawsuit. Out sourcing is used by every major company, heck my company uses India call centers. OK you are entitled to your opinion, but why would you want to pay $121. for a goodyear tire, if you can get the same exact tire at walmart for $85.00. Additionally in my old neighborhood up in N Jersey, we had an old man who owned a hardware store (we called him Red) you could buy a screw driver for $25 bucks. When walmart came to town that same screwdriver was $8.99 who in their right mind would want to pay $25. bucks. Many (not all) of the companies that have gone out of business because of walmart really deserved it, charging 3 or 4 times what the item cost. What if Walmart started selling gas for $1.80 would you still go to the mobil or shell? I wouldn't.
