Wal-Mart Pushing for Greater Profits via Online Coffin Sales

Wal-Mart Pushing for Greater Profits via Online Coffin Sales

I think this is a step too far.  American superstore (owned by the owners of British supermarket Asda) chain Wal-Mart as a "limited beta test to understand customer response" is bringing out a range of coffins at far below average prices in order to maximise their profits. The company is selling these online where they can be pre-ordered. Have Wal-Mart no integrity?

I hadn't thought of the irony there, but definitely.

Wow! That is something. Seems kind of ironic that they would announce the start of coffin sales right before Halloween.
