I worked for a distribution center for Walmart, was the 3rd person that was hired there.
I could tell you stories that would curl your hair.
One of my jobs was to unload shoe trailers. Shoe trailers are JITF - Just in Time freight. They actually have the stickers already applied to the boxes for direct shipment to the stores. The ammo for the stores is all JITF..
When Walmart has their way, they will run all others out of business and then they will raise their prices higher then what the competition sold the same item for a year or two before, when you said it was too much money.
They brain wash everyone into thinking that they are the good guy and that they are only in business to help the little guy out by giving him a good deal.
Only I was a part of management, where I was told everything that went on and I can tell you that if you have a product for sale, Walmart will not sell it unless you can deliver 10,000 of it and unless they can have a multi discount - where they get it cheaper then anyone else. They do not care about quality, just quantity.
I do not deal with chain type store when it comes to the purchase of new firearms. I have 4 gun dealers that gets 90% of all my business. Grice Gun Shop, Bob's Army and Navy, Punxsutawney Feed Mill and Dicks Sporting Goods out of Ohio.
If you buy one Remington Super Mag from Dicks, and the price is $280 and if you buy 3 the price is $250, how much do you think that Walmart pays for 10,000?
Someday, the same people who shops in Walmart is going to have to send to China to get their social security checks.
