So yes a boycott would impact them dramatically.I personally boycotted them for the most part for their despicable business practices.  I have witnessed them shutter companies many times, so much so that in the early 2000’s I would advise customers to pursue other avenues to market.  So much so that the worse news a customer could give me was “we got into Wal Mart” at which point my next phone call was to our credit department to inform the we need to keep an firm grip on our greed it line and terms here.  Wal Mart had a tendency to blow a company up in a year, they invest to be able to continue to supply more, etc (based on promises) only to be canceled the next year (leaving that company in debt trying to supply a customer that suddenly shut off the spigot). That’s to say nothing about what they would charge companies for shelf space or their predatory payment practices stringing companies out to 120 days.  Wal Mart has done its fair share to destroy small and medium size business in this country to the extent I will never forget.</blockquote>
