Foolish question. That would entail language, cultural differences, money difference, differences in national law for openers. It would need a massive (costly) study to try to make a determination.Arising_uk wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2017 12:36 am You said you know the difference between good and bad business? What would a difference in country make to such a statement.
Basically your unwarranted assumption is bollocks.Arising_uk wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2017 12:57 am So basically your claim was bollocks and Dale's was pretty much as well.
You're an unknown to me while Dale isn't. And I do know the difference between good and bad business. Walmart is one of the world's great businesses. Just because it couldn't get established in Germany doesn't make it bad. And you (nor I) don't know the reasons why it didn't establish a foothold in Germany so you're the one spouting bollocks.Arising_uk wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2017 1:50 am How so? You said you know the difference between good and bad business, so what was the bad business with Walmart in Germany. If you don't know then you were basically spouting bollocks. As was Dale when he talked about using one's first name in sales as this applied, in the main, to the US where using one's first name as a form of address to a stranger is acceptable social behaviour.
Getting back to your thread question. The voice of the average American female.
Of course, many will see you altered the thread's title which took all of your puny brain's power to create so I just changed it back and you're right. It is the American female voice that is the sweetest sound in the English language.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2017 3:25 amGetting back to your thread question.

Yes, if 'sweet' is a cross between a foghorn and a cat fight, with some cockatoo mixed in.Philosophy Explorer wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2017 6:33 amOf course, many will see you altered the thread's title which took all of your puny brain's power to create so I just changed it back and you're right.

I have a fair idea why. It tried to sell US consumer culture and working practices to them(I can just imagine the dumbfounded silence and suppressed giggles at the rah! rah! start of the day) . This won't work and it won't work in most of the major European nations as they work to live not live to work. They also already have discount stores and hypermarkets as it was the Europeans who invented them in the first place. I don't disagree that Walmart is an extremely successful company but in the main that is in America and where they have succeeded in 'European' type countries it has been through take-overs and not by slapping their American model in.And I do know the difference between good and bad business.
