I'm in sales and I cal on a major (non fishing related) chain retailer in North America. All big box stores make it a huge pain for manufacturers to deal with that's costs all suppliers and drives up consumer costs. This includes (substantial back end rebate programs, logistics requirements adding huge costs, heavy fines if those requirements are not met to a "T". Like Health Care, it's really out of control. As bad as it is for big players like the company I work for, I can't imagine how bad it is for "the little guy" when dealing with major big box retailers.
