Walmart took what was a win win for business and turned it into something that is unfortunately very common in American business today. Mostly it's caused by whoring after monthly or quarterly profits instead of a healthy and robust business. Your goose that lays golden eggs does a lot better of you don’t starve it to the point of being anemic.
 
Always heard that Walmart will by yr 1 at premium price and the next yr say well we will buy it for x take it or leave it.
Usually at half the price you sold to them before. That's why they have so much Chinese junk in their stores.
 
Big box stores and Amazon beat up their vendors on price on a daily basis. Quite the conundrum for US mfrs.

We the people created this. Consumer demand for cheap goods. Such a deal!

I wish I could say I'd never step foot in another Wally or wherever. I can't. Good on you that can afford to pay more for something "just because".

I feel the same way but we are trying to buy some things at other places.
