I saw a lady with a Mercedes S500 the other day at Walmart.  That particular car goes for somewhere north of $80,000 (actually probably north of $90,000, but honestly once you go above $50,000, it's all the same to me).  Walmart is the merchant of the common man, i.e. they sell cheap things to cheap people (and I'm a frequent customer).  They sell some expensive things like TVs and jewelry, but they generally stick to mass-produced, widely-available consumer goods.  I understand the idea that rich people have to shop somewhere, but I can't help but think there's a bit of a discrepancy there.  This lady was willing to spend a good annual salary on a car, but she still felt the need to save $0.15 on laundry detergent?  Perhaps she can afford a luxury car because she's a penny pincher in every other area of life.  But that explanation makes me like her even less. #business
