What does Wal-Mart think of us?

Success based on attention to detail is legendary at Wal-Mart, so it was surprising to notice today that identical “security envelopes” in the office supplies section were cheaper when packaged in the smaller box than in the larger box.  The same 3 5/8″ x 6 1/2″ mailing envelopes were priced as follows:

Box of 66         $1.72     2.6 cents each

Box of 125       $4.17     3.3 cents each

This does make you wonder what kind of research they are doing on the American public!

You can buy two boxes for $3.44 and get 132 envelopes if you want the larger amount.  But how many people stop to think?

There has been a lot of talk about respect for the working class who depend on Wal-Mart; but you have to wonder what the executives of Wal-Mart actually think about those workers based on their research.
