It allows Walmart to track every shipment and purchase and stay ahead of demand so that stores never run out of hot items - unless it's the new Tickle Me Elmo.

What? I'm sorry but this is not at all true in my experience with the two Super Walmarts in my town (which is at the intersection of 3 Interstate highways). Niether store has produce or meat products that are worth buying.
Every single package of meat that isn't in the freezer section is discolored and on the verge of turning. Virtually
Every Single piece of produce I pick up has (they do okay with bananas, and that's it) is partially rotten. I've never seen, through the buzzing flies, an avacado, strawberry, or tomato worth purchasing at Walmart. Walmart may be great at distributing non-perishable goods made in China, they have serious deficiencies with perishable goods like produce, meat, and, you guessed it, prescription medication. I'm glad they're making efforts to sell diabeties medications cheaply, the Twinkies and Coke are always good
