    Walmart sucks. It’s designed to keep you wandering around and picking up shit you don’t need. You’ll go in for one thing, and leave half an hour later with 14 things you didn’t come in for and don’t need. And also they didn’t have the one thing you needed. And the shit you did buy is junk. And any perishable food items you buy will be moldy within 36 hours. Walmart sucks.

    And they only can provide that useless compulsive junk so cheaply because they bulk order everything and then just change their offering price after the product is manufactured. So the manufacturer can’t just say “No deal” when they already produced massive quantities that they don’t have the logistical means to sell to other buyers. Walmart bleeds everyone dry. Smothers competing business with their price models, ravages towns, fuck Walmart.

      I’m not saying that this isn’t true, but how does that work more than once? Wouldn’t any manufacturer not quit working with them after this happens once? Isn’t agreed price for a bulk order set down on writing before the manufacturing starts?

      Have you got a source for this?
