Confidential Wal-Mart Memo Discloses Substantial Drop In Store Traffic Compared To Year Ago | ZeroHedge: "As if we needed another confirmation that the US consumer is running on empty, here comes Bloomberg with valuable disclosure from an internal, and supposedly confidential, Wal-Mart memo on store traffic patterns which indicate that in US store locations open for at least a year have seen a 2.6% drop in traffic in the February to June period compared to a year earlier.
