the world's premiere online community for the specialty coffee industry
One of the strangest things I've ever seen . . .
Is Wal-Mart getting into specialty coffee? Maybe not, but they seem to be ready and willing to supply your local Third Wave Coffee Shop.

Wal-Mart (and Amazon) are attempting to sell everything to anyone. Wal-Mart is following Amazon's playbook, by hooking up with other vendors to supply merchandise sold on their website. The machine is supplied by CSN Stores.com.
From the CSN website:
Based in Boston, CSN Stores was founded in 2002 and has grown rapidly into a Top 3 online U.S. retailer of home and office goods with 400+ employees. Beyond providing unparalleled selection and customer service to our U.S. customers, CSN Stores has opened its doors to online shoppers from Canada, the United Kingdom, and Germany. Recently, CSN was named to the Hot 100 List of online retailers for 2009.
A $200 million company, CSN Stores adds more than 10,000 new products per month to our 200+ Web sites, which include: CSNStores.com, AllModern.com, Cookware.com, Luggage.com, BedroomFurniture.com, CSNLighting.com, Strollers.com, CookwareEssentials.co.uk, CSNLighting.co.uk, and KuecheundHaushalt.de.
CSN Stores offers unparalleled customer service with highly trained customer representatives, the best selection of home and office furniture and accessories anywhere, and significant savings. Many sites can claim one of these benefits, but what makes us unique is that we offer all three. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you and provide you with the CSN Stores experience.

Trying to be everything to everyone! But will they be there when there is a problem? are any bigbox retailers around when you have a problem? Usually not! That's why the local family business with a good reputation is the best place to buy...they will be there when a problem arises, they will know their products......Walmart/Home Depot/whoever cannot expect the 16year old kid paid $6-$8 per hour to know their products!

I didn't mean to insult, and Teresa made it sound like she was just doing dishes before adjusting the OP to clarify. And certainly if just touching the rag while wiping the wand is destroying your hands your solution is WAY too strong.
