They owned the competition, they knew pulling Rubbermaid would make a market for their own product that they couldn't sell. It's manipulation.... not capitalism, not choice..... manipulation of the market.

And again, if they REALLY wanted Rubbermaid product they could easily have gone to any of the other stores. Home Depot, Lowe's, True Value, ACE, are all nationwide chains and affliliates.
People are lazy if they don't care about a brand. Plain and simple.
How is that manipulating? The consumer is free to shop elsewhere. Because they said they won't carry a product that didn't match their business objectives? Walmart is not the sole supplier of Rubbermaid products and goods in any market.
