Via eRobin, we have this little nicety.
You can't buy the Pensacola News Journal at Wal-Mart anymore.The store ordered us off their property, told us to come pick up our newspaper racks and clear out.
So we did.
A few people called last week, some even wrote letters to the editor, and wanted to know why they couldn't buy the newspaper at Wal-Mart in the days after Hurricane Dennis.
Some managers at Wal-Mart didn't appreciate a column Mark O'Brien wrote last month about the downside of the cheap prices that Sam Walton's empire has brought to America. We all pay a little less, and sometimes a lot less, at the grocery store and department store because of Mr. Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart.
Turns out, after the bad press, Walmart decided to let the paper back in their store. But it just goes to show how touchy Walmart has become. Bad press begat bad press.
