The savings are bottomless.

He fell for the oldest trick in the book.

[–] serpineslair@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah, I didn't enjoy that fall. I think I'll go for the premium fall next time.

Next time: Ball-Mart

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 8 points 3 weeks ago

Well, I certainly wouldn't pay money for that! ...Is it on-sale?

So, what's the business model here exactly? We've got the cost of rent, the upfront cost of excavating a gigantic bottomless pit the likes of which has never been seen before, the legal team to deal with lawsuits, the PR team to offset the negative press resulting from the pit, the maintenance costs of the building, replenishing the shopping carts, and of course advertising.

Actually yeah, seems doable.

Didn't you see the soda machine? That rakes in the money.

The soda machine is still $1. This both supports the operation and lures the unaware.

That’s just the built in business model of all of capitalism.

You're thinking of their competitor, Hole Foods.

A walton butthole.

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Nobody ever moves their darn cars at fallmart.
