I think Walmart has a long way to go to match the slickness of the Amazon's website, but I think they understand how important it is to compete with Amazon and they're committed to getting there. I never liked Walmart much, but I've got a nephew who works there and there was a huge change when the new (now newish) CEO showed up. He immediately hired more employees and raised their pay, instantly raising employee morale. Whether Walmart will continue in this direction, I don't know – stockholders are fickle – but right now they seem to understand how important it is to compete with Amazon (and they still have the resources to do it).
