well things may be changing
from my recollection
home depot dealt with raymond and also had cats for a while, i last heard they were getting away from cat and looking at other options.

As for walmart?
i have no clue but i do agree, raymond will be under the microscope because walmart is definitely a micro managing company so they will be watching every cent. If they go in there with the attitude i know them for in our area, they certainly will be humbled.

The company i work for does work for them and we have problems when it comes to billing and them not wanting to pay for various reasons. From what i can remember though, walmart has always been like that.
I almost think their philosophy is 'yes we want you to fix it but we don't want to pay what you charge for it'. DOH!
