> audaciously malicious malicious: characterized by malice; intending or intended to do harm I worked in the WMT home office for 12 years. I can assure you that it's not malice. It's much worse. During the glory days of growth in the early 2000s, where we were opening a new store (minimum 150,000 square feet, usually much later), on average, every day, the feeling was nothing more or nothing less than complete apathy toward the dollar stores. WalMart, back then, cared as much about dollar stores as most people care about some ants running across their sidewalk. Though, as we now see, that was a short-sighted perspective, since WMT, while still enormous, is seeing its growth slowing rapidly.
