You know what else is bullshit? In 2004, $27 million worth of Wal-Mart gift cards expired unused! Thats right, Wal-Mart WAS GIVEN $27 million dollars ($27,000,000.00) for no good reason! "Pre-paid" gift cards should not expire! In October of this year Wal-Mart released the following:
its (Wal-Mart's) core low-to-middle-income customers "remain concerned about their finances, especially the cost of living," in light of the housing slowdown and a tighter credit market.
Well when you can somehow rationalize taking $27 million from your customers without return of a service or a good, how concerned can you really be.
Wal-Mart ought to be ashamed of themselves, and to think they claim to care about the community.
