Tesco vs. Wal-Mart

According to Slate, Tesco is invading California and thereby the US. The article claims that Wal-Mart has encountered some difficulties in its own attempts to conquer California, discovering that more affluent areas don't care so much about dirt cheap prices.

"Great Britain's last effort to conquer the colonies with muskets and cannon ended in failure. This time, the Redcoats are arriving armed with merlot and cucumbers, which may prove to be superior weapons."

Go, Tesco!
