Default Orvis + Wal-Mart = Angry local shopkeep

And they don't only do it to manufacturers. A few weeks ago the

****ers
refused to take my MasterCard......said that MC charges them too much.


I had the same damn thing happen to me. Walmart got Visa to lower its

rate
to them, MasterCharge wouldn't follow suit so they banned 'em.
Here's an elitist question. Its already been brought up here, in that

many
of Orvis' customers wouldn't know where a Walmart is. Walmart does the

FLW
tour for bass fishermen. Bass fishermen also go in to get parts for

their
boats. There's two hooks for the bass fishermen. Where's the hook to

bring
in a fly fisherman?


Orvis and Wal-Mart are betting that Orvis is that hook.


Cripes....the WM employees can't put 10 boxes of cereal on display neatly.
Imagine a rack of 100 different flies.....
