What is the real downside to Walmart?

Question

There are all these ads on TV and the radio right now conerning the amount of unsafe products and food sold at Walmart. But they seem a tad one sided. I am not by any means a Walmart fan. I avoid going into one of their stores as much as I can, but it seems to me that they carry the same food products as any other grocer, and their toys - a big target in the ads - are the same as those sold at Target, Kmart, Toys R Us, and many others. What am I missing?

Answer 1

The Upside

Answer 2

Over expansion, WMT is a cash cow but if they blow all that money on expansion and don't get good returns on their investment, then they will have wasted your profits
