That's true as well, but there was a major labor
action in California over the past 6 weeks or so
that revolved around WalMart's impact on the
grocery business, so it must be having a significant
effect.


I've wondered whether WM has the same kind of influence on our local
newspaper (a Gannett rag) as other deep-pockets businesses. Every so often,
the paper will do a comparison of grocery prices between our two chains,
Wegman's and Tops. They never include WM. If they did, the game would be
over for WM.
