i view this with some trepidation only because you lie with Walmart
and generally end of with fleas...Walmart's forced reduction of cost
by 5% by its vendors yealrly, for example, kills many
suppliers....they are poor to do business with, and I am hoping Orvis
comes out of this ok......
The consumer often ends up with fleas, too. In clothing, for instance,
further cost reductions mean the company has to constantly find cheaper
suppliers when the older ones can no longer afford to do business that
way.
The results are obvious, if you've looked at some of the clothing being
sold
there. Of course, most sellers are up against the same problem, but at
least
some of them have designated a level below which they will not go.
Fleas are hardly ever found on clothing, unless somebody is wearing it at
the time, they are pure bloodsuckers. Various life stages of the insect
might very occasionally be found on clothing, but are more likely to be
found elsewhere. For more info, have a look here;

You may not like Wal Mart much now, but if they discover that you are
publically maintaining that they sell flea-ridden clothing, I venture to
prophesy that you will end up liking them a great deal less.
Just as a matter of interest, as you donīt shop there, how do you know what
clothing they sell? Flea-ridden or otherwise?
