| I suggest you go on line and look at the Tusa Liberator package available from Diversdirect.com. It's a better mask and snorkel than you're likely to get at Wal-Mart, and may well be less expensive. http://www.diversdirect.com/items/Tu...o-Pack_ID42468 Lee |

Operative word: Use to, and for all the right reasons. As a mere consumer in the public spaces of Walmart (and Sam's), I can understand how you believe you're doing the right thing. Truth is, Walmart has internal business practices than the other business you mentioned don't have. I would caution you to know the difference. Walking into the door of a Walmart or Sam's is likened to trampling on the free enterprise system you espouse. Then again, you're such a good consumer, aren't you? Good consumers aren't necessarily educated consumers, are they? -- jer email reply - I am not a 'ten' |
