Walmart has been doing it for decades to achieve its low prices. The problem isn't that it won't work, it's just still a shitty thing to squeeze every cent from your suppliers.

Wal*Mart does definitely squeeze their suppliers, and it does have relatively low prices, but it's hardly a charity. It squeezes suppliers, not so that it can supply customers with low prices but so that it can provide profits to investors.
