...Wal-Mart
Last week Wal-Mart had a major win when the Supreme Court said they women suing them could not do so as a class action lawsuit because the women were working different jobs and blah blah blah basically they saved possibly billions of dollars. However they did not win in the image department, as they have not been winning there for about 10 years. So for me it comes as no surprise that Wal-Mart announced it would be lowering its gas prices by 10 cents immediately. This discount will last until September 30th and it will be available at all Wal-Mart and Murphy USA locations. Will this help them save face? Probably not. But what it might do is spur more people to shop at Wal-Mart stores, because although they had fiscal 2011 sales of $419 billion at 9,000 stores in 15 countries, you can never have too much money. I am still giving them a Digit Down. I may or may not buy gas from them, I would have to drive out of my way to get it, but you know what Wal-Mart has still failed to do? Fix their carts!
