Don't you think that decline could be explained by the rise of Walmart?

It occurred before WalMart.

The biggest problem was that areas switched from growth to contraction. Once that happened, everybody tightened their belts and customer service along with inventory are the first to go.

Unfortunately, while that may get you through the next quarter, it kills you in the long run.
