Wal-Mart is an exception because it is able to have such pricing power and such influence over suppliers that it is difficult for anyone to compete on price. What it means for the customer is that price will make you buy, but it doesn't give you the same satisfaction as a high level of service. -Claes Fornell

Customers don't like their cable TV providers, most airlines or the IRS, either.
