Interesting story. Only thing is, Wal Mart did not do them in, they really
did themselves in. At some point, you just have to say, "sorry, no deal"

Indeed. the fraternal twin to the story above:
The Man Who Said No to Wal-Mart
Every year, thousands of executives venture to Bentonville, Arkansas,
hoping to get their products onto the shelves of the world's biggest
retailer. But Jim Wier wanted Wal-Mart to stop selling his Snapper
mowers.
