What makes you think my yard is other than than a show place? It's just small. Wood pile on one end, container plants along another, and shit from you carefully used to build up the other side since not even acid can leach that down. I think it looks rather nice. Need a little more shit please. There's one corner not just yet filled. |

I don't remember problems when I was a kid in Spokane, Washington, some 40+ years ago. Obviously, those pimply faced 18 year olds that I saw more recently weren't working there back then. I suspect that they let their very low prices, due to their tremendous buying power, make them forget that some people value service in addition to low prices. Many years ago, someone with considerable expertise in retail said that Kmart got better prices from some major manufacturers than the *wholesalers* did! -- Dan Abel Petaluma, California USA |

Yeah, it's cheap, but it's expensive. We bought some kind Understood but they were just an example. I dont actually shop at Kmart nor Walmart except for the rare trip for something fairly specific with a name brand. Mostly I shop at the exchange (Military). |

If the wholesaler wants a higher price, Walmart won't sell their products. |
