We are not talking about a someone. We are talking about a publicly traded corporation. Suppose a hospital pharmacy did not carry a foreseeably necessary emergency drug for its E-room? Isn't that negligence? Granted, the need at non-hospital pharmacy is not so dire, but people who need those services need them nonetheless.

Why not change the law to encourage or even require some public responsibility? Oh, that's right, it's because our legislatures have been bought and paid for by corporate interests. :sarcasm: Anyway, the absolute minimum legal requirements really should not be the benchmark of good citizenship.

As a side note, the UCC has nothing to do with this hypothetical. Art.II governs the sale of goods generally and speaks to the manner of the sales and not to highly regulated professions. Nothing else in the UCC is even remotely applicable.

Why are you sticking up for Sprawlmart? With their ad budget they certainly do not need you defending them. Besides, in many ways, they are the enemy. Walmart is frankly a terrible corporate citizen. They are anti-union, they suppress wages, export jobs to China, offer no health insurance which creates a burden on the community, they drive privately owned local businesses out of business, they support Rs and the religious right and they sell crap. With the playing field tilted so much in their favor, I am not inclined to be fair with them.:thumbsdown:
