<p>Last week I mused on how <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/wal-mart-stores-inc/wmt/nys">Wal-Mart Stores</a> (NYSE: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/wal-mart-stores-inc/wmt/nys">WMT)</a> supplies basic customer service to its customers -- or a lack of it. From waiting in lines when there are many empty checkout lanes to blocking aisles with pallets during daytime shopping hours, is the retailer turning off customers by not creating a pleasant atmosphere that is conducive to shopping?</p>
This week, we'll be making the rounds on how the various Wal-Mart departments combine into a cohesive shopping experience, but do not threaten some competitors at all. Why? Well, have you ever thought that Wal-Mart would be seen as lacking in product selection? It does, from this corner, and I'll give you insight on why Wal-Mart will never be able to unseat some retailers at the same time it continues to grow its sales. Read on.
