what they want. And really, if you think about it from your
point of view as a customer, you want everything: a wide
assortment of good-quality merchandise; the lowest
possible prices; guaranteed satisfaction with what you buy;
friendly, knowledgeable service; convenient hours; free
parking; a pleasant shopping experience."
- Sam Walton (1918-1992)
