Your claim is that it's not about gross sales, but only about profit for unit of area. And no, this is wrong. What Quade is refering to is a concept the miitary calls a force multiplier. An AWACS or a KC-135 doesn't carry ordanance, but it does allow the weaps-carriers to be more effective. In the same vein, TP is a force multiplier boosting the sales of other items, though as Quade pointed out, it's combo of high profit margin and enormous demand means it does pretty well on it's own. Kind of like if a B-52 and an AWACS got it on and had a bastard luv child. -Blind no, he doesn't know what he's referring to. I alluded to your notion early on - Walmart wants to meet "mainstream" needs so it's customers do as much one stop shopping as possible. But Quade was loath to admit that ammo might be remotely mainstream. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
