Many consumers have begun to start shopping at lower-priced national retailers in an attempt to cut costs.

One such retailer is Walmart (WMT) , which is already the number one grocer in the United States.

The retailer has been taking great pains to cut costs, announcing in 2024 that it would work to reduce the cost of many items — including food — back to pre-inflation levels.
However, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon says that sometimes those efforts are just not enough to ease the difficulties entirely. "You can see that the money runs out before the month is gone, you can see that people are buying smaller pack sizes at the end of the month," McMillon said at the Economic Club of Chicago.

He added that he feels the stress of consumers across all socioeconomic levels, particularly for folks who are more exposed to price hikes.

*jerkoff-motion*

"Yeah it's really hard out there, it's hard. But..keep shopping here please..even though we're doing nothing to help things."

Actual fucking brain damage, jfc

even more reeeetard takes in the minutes since I posted this, I actually fucking despair at the general comprehension levels of the people left on that forum.

He's not saying "WOW, TIMES ARE TOUGH, WE GON MAKE BANK SON" you absolute fucking cretins, he is warning of inflationary indicators being higher than expected which is going to directly affect peoples purchasing power, especially at the low end.

Its fucking walmart. Its not a margins business. They are already making cuts to try and minimise inflationary pressures, and the fucking CEO is warning that its not going to be enough LOLOL LUIGI LOLLOL CEO I AM VERY SMART
