And, it does nothing to address the upper level management compensation differential.

Not compelling? Bot brings up a VERY compelling point. It MUST take much more labor per dollar of sales to manage 140,000 SKU's of small dollar items than for a small fraction of SKU's sold by the pallet load. Are you sure you understand what Bot is saying here? I think he has made a very clear contrast of the two operations.
Just for the record, I'm no more of a fan of Wal Mart than anyone else, but that doesn't make me ignore such an important difference in these two operations.
