I'm more surprised that they only have about a 2% net profit margin

That’s how Walmart annihilated mom and pop shops. Low margin times massive scale still equals massive profits, but no small shop can possibly operate on such low margins.

The real tragedy is when a Walmart kills all the small stores, but then the location closes for not being profitable enough
