Wow. That's awesome. So on this point number four of suppliers, here's some quick math that illustrates why they do have to be so careful and why they do wield such an enormously large stick. So Walmart's revenue today is about three times Costco in the U.S., But since Costco sells so few items, they are a massive customer for any given supplier. They always have this super lopsided relationship.
