It's a broad stroke for sure, but, yes, no one on HN shops at Walmart.

- protomyth 14y agoI hope you're joking. Shopped there tonight. It was there or a poorly stocked K-Mart. I find the local grocery store less ethical than the Walmart.
- mildavw 14y agoI'm not joking, but my point is lost in some confusion, so I'll add this caveat: If your audience does shop at Walmart, or knows people who do, then pointing out Walmart's jaw dropping numbers will not be a good device for illuminating the importance of market validation. In fact it could encourage them carry on with the potentially mistaken assumption that the entire planet's needs/problems are the same as their own.
