There are various reasons why they are gouging people over store prices. One theory I have is that since the gas prices are going up, they are raising rates to transport the goods from one semi-truck to their storages.
I believe they are gouging. Look at the profits that they make by not paying cashiers anymore? The whole "self checkout" thing probably has Sam Walton rolling over in his grave :( His hiers have ruined what Sam Walton started Walmart out to be.
Because they can
Don't believe it's gouging...inflation is up, fuel costs are ridiculous, labor costs are up...it's all paid for by the consumer.
It's Putin's fault
It's weird though they all reported record profits last year seems kind of weird doesn't it
I hate to say it but I think a lot of stores are not much anyone can do about it except maybe complain or ask for them to price match I sometimes find things cheaper at Walmart then I do at Country Mart but I do shop mostly shop online like Ebay or Amazon if they have certain things I want or can get cheaper but also price gouging is probably happening because of Covid, Inflation,and War going on in Ukraine it sucks because it's not our fault Russia and Ukraine are fighting
