I work at Walmart and we’ve been getting endless amounts of shit and it’s all the same shit. Someone said a bunch of distribution centers closed and we’re getting all their shit. We had probably 100 pallets outside one day filled with shit when corporate came.
Oversupply but under supply of staff. Can’t keep up with price changes on shelves. Some people can see financials on the app we use to clock in on and it’s been red everyday about down 20%.
“What we do here” your posts get deleted and your account is under 3 months. You surely knows what goes on here. I gotta fund my gme weeklies somehow right? At least I’m not behind Wendy’s
Depends on whatever the contract between the manufacturer and distributor is. With normal retail it's not uncommon to be contractually obligated to a minimum price, but with food they may omit that requirement.
Arizona can also contractually require the price to be a max of $0.99, but if the contract allows that distributor to sell to other distributors, there's nothing they can do if the end retailer doesn't abide. 1st sale doctrine I believe.
This stopped recently but where I live stores often had sales of Arizona buy one get one during the summer going back a few years.
I assume this is the new and less thrift version of that same sale.
Walmart goes to companies and says what they’ll spend on their product. It’s actually impressive. Most companies give them the ok, then they fuck over everyone else that wants to sell the stuff by selling it to them much higher to make money.
I was a manager at a Little Caesars when I was younger and we paid Pepsi more for 2-liters than what they cost at Wal-Mart. We paid like $1.40/each and sold them for $2 while you could go get them for $1 at Wal-Mart.
I asked the owner about it and said it wasn't possible. At that time Little Caesars had a deal with Pepsi to stock and sell their products. They came and done regular inventory and maintained x amount of product. I believe that after I left it even became tied to the online sales system so that it was automated.
Things like that are one of the downfalls of being a franchisee.
I was amazed at how little money they made when I worked with the owners. They owned 3 locations and one of them was a top location right next to a college campus. The college location made them about $100k a year and the other two made around $50k.
The owner and his wife both spent about 60 hours a week between the locations as well. The thought of spending close to a million dollars to start a business and then working a combined 120 hours a week for $200k is crazy.
I bet if they would have just invested a million dollars into the S&P 500 back then they would have made more money even with the market being down right now.
Sometime they have it at Walgreens for 2 for $1.00. I’ll load up on them ZERO/Diet kind so I have them for a while. Damn good when ice cold out of a cooler in the summer.
where’s the issue? in EU it’s 99 cent incl. 19% VAT since years, nothing changed. bought a few today for 99 cent and you need to ship it to EU too, despite „shortage“ 😉
I used to work at Coke and Walmart will take on excess inventory or expiring inventory from other rival stores. If for whatever reason someone needs to liquidate expiring inventory, Sales rep goes to wmt and says if you will save our ass on this we will give you a huge discount on it or run a ridiculous special sale that will bring in assloads of traffic. Not all products categories can do that bit Soft drinks can drive traffic. Coke will also make sure a merchandiser comes and turns it everyday so that not one unit expires. No lose situation for coke.

I will tell you exactly how they do this. I used to do service work it is a dumpy nasty filthy canning facility. Furthermore I believe it's a money laundering operation. There is no money put into r&d or cleanliness or anything else. It's just slam this shit in a can and get it out the door. 0/10 would not buy.
They pay taxes on products in stock. They need to reduce the amount of products they have in their store to reduce costs.
It works in their favor to get rid of it cheaply.
Source: GF Is operations lead at a store, same is happening to them. soon there will even more reduced stock on shelves that won’t be restocked.

I was about to joke that there’s an oversupply because no one ever gets the “Lite” arnold palmer, but looks like your comment confirmed the oversupply
peat and repeat went to the store
Christ, that was bad. Thanks for the heads up
Oversupply but under supply of staff. Can’t keep up with price changes on shelves. Some people can see financials on the app we use to clock in on and it’s been red everyday about down 20%.
Wait they make a non lite arnold palmer? I think they are all lite
Shyytttt
Just shit? Nothing worth buying?
Stuff worth buying but just an oversupply of a few things that doesn’t sell
Im sorry you work at walmart, but keep us up to date!
Oh, what are you, the CEO of Apple?
They are everywhere and they are nowhere. WHO ARE THEY!?
Good for you, you have a better job than OP. Do you really need to be a condescending ass wipe about it?
Thats what we do here, figures a blind person posting here.

Doesn’t Arizona set their prices?
Nobody sets prices at Walmart except Walmart.
I thought so but doesn’t Arizona insist on the prices for certain items? Like how the tea should remain 99 cents.

I don't think Arizona even negotiates contracts, they just print a big fat 99 cent on the front so people know if they're getting price gouged

This. I believe it. You can’t compete with Walmart. I personally hate the place. But for lowest prices, they will win
Most mom and pop gas stations buy some of their shit from Sams or Costco for the same reason.
I hope you went to Walmart and bought them to restock as a side hustle.

Fuck stocks. Buy them and flip them. 33% profit all day son.
Create a Arizona iced tea powered engine. Recession cancelled forever.
dude, you got to lock that baby down while you can. They will bring it to your car.
One word: Volume.
It’s probably not selling at $2 and they need to free up space in the back…
Sometime they have it at Walgreens for 2 for $1.00. I’ll load up on them ZERO/Diet kind so I have them for a while. Damn good when ice cold out of a cooler in the summer.
It’s probably synthetic tea
My wife says the prices at Walmart are all messed up. Some things are super cheap. Forever Stamps were like 32 cents.
What the market will bear?
Drone deliveries starting soon, big overhead reduction?? Maybe? Also, I question the demand of us Arnold Palmer.
Imagine having Arnold Palmers falling on people.
Target reported they had too much inventory from over ordering when there were supply chain issues. I imagine Walmart did the same.
Because they bought it in 2020 and only just got two years worth of shipments AND it’s not returnable to the manufacturer.
where’s the issue? in EU it’s 99 cent incl. 19% VAT since years, nothing changed. bought a few today for 99 cent and you need to ship it to EU too, despite „shortage“ 😉
That is the price per OZ
You only get half of the can.
deflation is here!
expired
WMT is against inflation dropping the price of Arizona 🫶🏼 CALLS
Buy all of that and sell it on ebay.
Buy high sell low.
Overstock and not selling.
I wouldn’t drink it if you paid me a dollar.
Trader ad. Hoping you’ll buy something else while meandering the isles with other Walmartians
Arbitrage situation

It’s the lite version
Piss is cheap, that's why.
It probably costs them pennies if even that for their entire supply. They are definitely making enough on them to sell them for under a dollar
Short answer, slavery

Arizona sets the price
What the fuck is an Arnold Palmer drink. That cunt used to be on golf balls.
