[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Wal-Mart and Google are partnering to challenge Amazon

Posted: 8/23/2017 7:57:59 AM EDT

For whom should we cheer in this battle? I hope margins/prices are cut to the bone.

Wal-Mart said Wednesday that next month it will join Google’s online-shopping marketplace, Google Express. While the deal will add hundreds of thousands of Wal-Mart items to Google Express, it will also give Wal-Mart access to voice ordering. The deal won’t alter how consumers receive their orders, because Wal-Mart will fulfill purchases made through Google Express.

I'm siding with Walmart and Google over Amazon.

Amazon is run by pinkos and are anti USA and anti trump.

Walmart is actually run by more or less good people.

I've given Walmart several chances, but their inventory tracking is shit. For the forseeable future, I'm sticking to Amazon. At least with them, you can believe it most of the time if they say an item is in stock.

It's funny how conservatives are always painted as being the shills for corporate America and Wall Street greed.
In practice, when you pull back the curtains, all these multi-national corporations and investment banks are overflowing with Leftists.

Understand leftist psychology:

Any negative concept is ascribed to right-wingers

Any positive concept is ascribed to left-wingers

No matter how blatantly false

That's how they can be violent in the name of peace, or hate crackers in the name of tollerance etc etc....

Voice recognition technology is still shit, IMO. Last thing I want to do is order something using it.

I use both Amazon and Walmart. One feature I love about online ordering with Walmart (and Home Depot too) is being able to save shipping by having the item shipped to my local store. I do not have Amazon Prime so I often have to look at the shipping cost for an item from there. A lot of Walmart's catalog is available for shipment to the local store. There is no longer a "sales tax" advantage with Amazon in most cases so ordering from either one is going to result in that tax being collected.

Wal Marts website is infested with third party vendor junk, and in store pickup is all the way in back of the store and typically unmanned.

They need an app to pick up at a drive thru to have a chance of beating Amazon on price alone.

Amazon > (Wal-Mart + Google)

Amazon wants your money.
Google wants to change society.
Wal-Mart is the lesser partner in this deal with Google. Google tech; Wal-Mart supply chain.

What's weird, is that Walmart and Google are both amazingly fucked up these days.

I just spent over 4 hours trying to buy an app for an android device.
It would let me change the password, but then it wouldn't let me use the new password, or any other password.

Walmart used to be a model of efficiency. Now, they are the poster child for sad, bloated corporate retardation.

Going in Walmart today, is like going into Kmart 10 years ago.

It really is stunning.

I don't "like" Amazon, but they give you what you want.

A lot of people were talking about WalMart's demise a year ago but as you can see from their share price and recent financials, rumors of their death were greatly exaggerated. WalMart, Target and Home Depot are the only retailers doing well in a bleak landscape.

I thought Target was slipping.

Target sales slip even as earnings gain

Home Depot at least has a conservative CEO.

Their share price isn't doing that great but their earnings report just last week beat analyst expectations. They are doing fine. But this is all relative when you consider the other retailers are getting the beat down.
