Walmart is competing openly with the store down the street. If I have a iPhone I can't use another store — it is a lock-in.

- simondotau 5y agoIf you walk into Walmart, you’re not going to find a Target. And you’re certainly not going to find a Target paying 0% commission to Walmart. There you go, another equally ridiculous Walmart analogy.
- jVinc 5y agoWalmart isn't competing openly though. They have a 100% monopoly on wallmart shelf space. Target is a different platform down the street sure, but that's like Apple vs. Samsung. You can't get the Apple app store on a Samsung, and you can't get the android appstore on an iPhone. But Target can't put products on wallmarts shelves and wallmart can't put products on targets shelves.
