The closing paragraphs were the most interesting part to me:

The problem, in a nutshell, is that Wal-Mart still sells on price alone. Depth of inventory is too costly to carry. Fashionability does not extend to natural fabrics. And, as with the recent experience of a Time reporter canvassing a new Wal-Mart in New Jersey, I, too, left my Wal-Mart after an hour having been smiled at by none of the two dozen or so employees I encountered. Even the greeter hadn’t noticed me. It’s not often that shoppers return to a store where their presence didn’t matter to anyone there, except when price is their only concern.

And with Wal-Mart’s huge, growing overhead, it won’t be long before someone figures out how to beat Wal-Mart at that.

Fallen I have noticed that the associates do not get as good of treatment as the customers even though we are spending just like them..I guess there is jackasses in every store ..but on the whole we do try in our store ...we score good on the surveys at the register  anyway ...I know I am so busy now with two departments that I don't have the time to spend wit the customer like I would have a few months ago ..
