Yeah, they're trying to preserve in their eyes their image. Unfortunate for them, no matter what they do, they're only making it worse. I have to say though, it wasn't their fault to begin with as it was the mob on black friday that did this and a lot of things could have been done to avoid such an incident but it is what it is.

them contesting it is also good for the little guys. If walmart beat it, then they unset the precedent incase it happens again at a mom and pa store
