Generally right about Walmart, but if Mastercard holds firm and it impacts enough of Walmart's customers, it will hurt them. Walmart is increasingly finding itself competing with places like Target. And which is easier for the customer, switching stores or switching banks?

I have to agree with Ratbastid that Walmart will win out on this one. As for Walmart competing with Target, as I understand it, Walmart deliberately placed their stores outside of urban areas, therefore making them accessible to people who didn't live directly in a big city, and making it their only viable option. There was a great article in Playboy a few months ago about the Walmart empire....they really do rule the world.
