What oil do y'all use?
I've been looking at the 5qt jugs at Wal-mart yesterday and found Penzoil 10W-40. It said something about for higher mileage cars. After looking at the price, I figured this stuff was a no-brainer... Regular price for the 5qt jug was $9.14 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) I wold have bought it right then if there were either more than one jug or if this one was 6qts.... get it $9.14 for 6qts... Maybe I'm alone in my humor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) |

QUOTE(ArtechnikA @ Jul 6 2004, 12:38 PM) because they -- ahhh -- make money for their stockholders ? don't work there. the people that work in the one near me don't apprar to be employable many other places ... don't sell to them. such as - supplying name-brand products at low prices ? With that said it is obvious that you don't understand a business cycle. Want a history lesson. How about asking Delphi how they liked the dictatorial way that GM treated them.... oooh so sorry they went bankrupt and GM had to bail them out. Real smart. Maybe you want to talk to the a few of WM's vendors who are getting nickel and dimed out of business because they signed LTA's with WM but then all of a sudden WM changes the terms like only shipping on thier trucks, only there still is a penalty for late shipment arrival and the F'in WM truck didn't deliver it on time and the vendor gets fined. Thats a real great corporate policy for ya there. You can buy all the cheesy cheapo-shit you want from Walmart just don't complain when they are the only game in town and charging whatever they want. BTW if you don't believe that you should talk to some of the people who work for them. When they run out of town all the other business, the prices get raised an average of 2 - 6 percent pratically overnight.... now isn't great that that you saved all that money? Making money for investors is not the same as building value for investors. Good ole Sam knew the way to do it, the idiots running this place now should be shot. |
