Default Home Depot's Inventory Control Problem

When walmart no longer offers consumers what they want , walmart will
go the way of Bradlees, Steinbachs, Two Guys, Caldor, and every other
retail corp that went bankrupt.
Someone will take its place. Home Depot grew because they were far
better than mom & pop hardware stores with low prices and great
selection. The retail environment is not set in stone. Once a business
no longer serves a purpose it changes or fails. Look at GM. They
thought that Americans would buy American out of loyalty but years of
turning out crap has killed them along with the lazy overpaid union
workers they employ.
Toyota, Subaru etc can pay an extra 50Cents for a switch or part
because labor is lower cost w/o unions. Guess what the part lasts
longer giving the brand a reputation for quality

Even you gotta know that this is going to change once there are no
alternatives.
They can treat their employees the way they do because they employ
people with few alternatives.
What do you think is going to happen when the shoppers have no
alternative?
