What I fail to see is that you had a company Rubbermaid, selling at a price that the public set and yet it wasn't good enough for Wal*Mart.
Wal*Mart then pulls the product and sells only their own product?
So basically what you are saying is, "fuck the public, fuck the company because they have one of the best employee/employer relationships".
And yes, Rubbermaid's sales still were strong outside of Wal*Mart, but losing your biggest outlet and having to raise prices everywhere else is a hit that is hard to recover from.
Wal*Mart effectively destroyed Rubbermaid, their employees, a community and made a market for their own half assed made shit.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
