THE WALMART PUNCH LINE…

Americans love deals. They brag about deals. They lie about deals. They make up deals that no sane merchant — trust me, Crazy Eddie was very sane — would ever offer. But TNSTAAFL* always applies and if it looks too good to be true, it most likely is.

So when I read a blog post and see these fateful words: I chose Wal-Mart because…um…it’s cheap; I have no doubt what will follow.

Folks, cheap plastic crap from China is cheap plastic crap from China.

    Funny, how little people know about portrait studios. It’s a licensed business, not an extension of Walmart, and now part of the same company that runs the Sears Portrait studios. But hey, it’s just fun to be a consumer and whinge about it endlessly.

    Shalom Antic hue,

    I get that.

    A business, however, is gauged in part by the company it keeps. Walmart should be more careful about to whom it lends its good name.

    B’shalom,

    Jeff
