Do you really think the rib vendor reimburses Wal Mart?

Yes. Absolutely. (you actually don't LOL)

Read up on Sam Walton's business model. The vendors get the short end of the stick in every clause of the vendor's contracts.

Here's a clause from a Walmart/Vendor contract:

quote:

---

Supplier will be charged for all returned merchandise regardless if the merchandise has been
destroyed, recycled or returned. Returned merchandise will be shipped freight, prepaid at
Supplier's Cost and a 5% handling charge will be incurred. The Supplier will be responsible for
100% payment of claim by check or wire transfer within 30 days of claim date.
