Texans Celebrate HEB Humbling Wal-Mart

We talked to you earlier this week about the complaint that Texas grocer HEB made against a misleading Wal-Mart ad that claimed the company saved families $700 dollars. On Tuesday, the Ad Division of the Better Business Bureau recommended that Wal-Mart pull the ad - and today we read that Wal-Mart has given in.

(**By the way, what happened to Wal-Mart claiming that it saved families $2,500 a year? Now they won’t even say $700?)

But what caught our eye this time wasn’t Wal-Mart’s dishonest ad. It was the 100+ comments on the story from the San Antonio News-Express (published at Chron.com) - and the anti-Wal-Mart fervor from readers deep in the heart of Texas.

It’s just an everyday reminder that strong feelings against Wal-Mart aren’t confined to big cities on the coasts.
