Walmart's business ethics are NOT good. They have run several american companies into near bankruptcy. The Rubbermaid story is just one of those. And before you jump on the "the contract said and/or they did it themselves bandwagon - do some research on this and other instances of Walmart bad behavior..

Here's a short of it.
The original Rubbermaid had risen to enormous market share and profits by making Wal-Mart the near-sole distributor of its products—shifting away from a previous, years-long policy of diversifying its product distribution by using multiple retailers. At some point after it had become dependent upon Wal-Mart for almost all of its sales, Rubbermaid claimed that it needed to raise the retail price of its products by a small, single-digit percentage. Rubbermaid said that this price increase was needed to keep pace with operational costs and inflation, without sacrificing its legendary product quality. Despite Rubbermaid's insistence that it couldn't afford to stay in business without it, Wal-Mart—citing its strict commitment to its "everyday low price" (EDLP) policy, and language in their contract with Rubbermaid allowing it to control pricing—refused Rubbermaid's request. Rubbermaid's business collapsed shortly thereafter. Most of its physical assets had to be sold off at discount prices to satisfy its creditors; its biggest remaining asset was the Rubbermaid brandname itself.

An american legacy company for over 80 years at the time wiped out by walmart greed.

Barry, if you don't like business practices of companies that hurt other businesses, you shouldn't be using Microsoft products either.

I'm Linux too Jim. Unfortunately my company requires ms products. Does not mean I like it and I cannot change it.

However, not patronizing WM is something I CAN do something about.

I love Wallmart. 1000's of companies have been sucked up by bigger business, so it's not unusual at all. And yes, they should have understood the contract, it is their fault.........
