Not knowing when to say "No" to a retailer demanding cost reductions
is called "corporate greed".

Actually it is called staying in business. Interesting that every body
gets all bent about monopolistic practices, but nothing is said about
monopsonist, where the BUYER has the power. WalMart is the poster child
for this kind.

I and the business world doesn't buy that...anyone can say
"No"...anyone.

Companies made money before the Walmart business model.

All those companies that don't deal with Walmart still make money...I
wonder how?

Do research on "Rubbermaid" as to how management's greed can destroy a
company.

It is Business 101 that a company should never have only one customer
that is your major customer.

Rubbermaid is a case of management who made too much money and had too
few brains.
