Wal-Mart doing away with Layaway
Layaway is a necessary method of purchasing items for a large amount of people. I think it is a very bad move for Wal-mart to do away with it. Wal-mart was founded on targeting rural, lower income demographics, and besides that, it has been a very successful and lucritive company so why change it! Wal-mart's low prices and layaway system are what sets it apart from other department stores. As someone previously stated, getting rid of the layaway program will deter numerous consumers. As it's said, "if it's not broken, don't fix it!" Keep the layaway!
