It's a retailer not an IT company. It's got that baked into its bones and it shows sometimes with the decision/procurement process. Tech debt is pretty high in some areas and often it won't be addressed due to penny wise, pound foolish thinking. Northwest Arkansas and by proxy the Bentonville campus is liberal for the South but conservative for the tech industry standards. Sometimes people are waaaaayyyyy out of step with that reality and either want the Good Old Boy days to come back or can't understand why their deeply held views are labelled as being Social Justice Warrior-esque.
