Re: Kansas firm sells candid Wal-Mart videos
by Steve Wargo on Apr 12, 2008 at 3:23:59 am

They have a multi million dollar video facility in their main building in Bentonville, Arkansas. I've stood in there. Their shoot studio is a 40 x 40 room with a set in each corner and a set on each wall for a total of eight. We were there in '95 to bid on a job that included putting a video program on the in-store monitors. They told us that the stores could not afford $15 each to see this happen. This was a lie and they stole our ideas and use them today in many of their stores. It was stupid on our part to give our ideas away but it was a huge, 10 year contract that we were talking about. At the time, WalMart was still a supporter of US companies.

After seeing their studio, I asked "If you have this huge facility, why are you talking to us?". Their answer was that the project we were talking about was way too small for their facility.

Even though they stole our ideas and we were left out in the cold, it never crossed my mind to act like a 10 year old and seek revenge. I chalked it up to experience and moved forward.

Flagler was ignorant for depending on one source for their income.

This move will end up costing them anything they have left. Stupid. Immature. Traitors. Backstabbers. And if anyone agrees with them, you need to rethink a few things. Yeah, they might be the scourge of the retail industry, but you don't sink to the level of dog poo when you get jilted.

No sympathy for Flagler. They're finished.
