What if Wal-Mart sold Prada?

Slate asks "What if Wal-Mart sold Manolo Blahniks in the shoe section?"

I would stop buying Manolo Blahniks, that's what would happen. When Sears bought Lands' End that was the end of my buying Lands' end.

Snobby? Absolutely! But I'll happily shop at Target. The difference? Merchandising, baby. Target's got it, knows how to use it. Wal-Mart and Sears suck eggs.
