What a wonderful corporate culture. They're not alone though ... Disney, Dow, Proctor & Gamble, Cadbury ... they all do stuff like that.
Of course they do. They are public companies. There are laws in place that demand that public companies watch their dollars and cents properly. Even if the CEO of WalMart was having a nice rosy day and wanted to let this slide, he'd be explaining it to a security commission.
