France-based Carrefour,
one of the world’s largest grocery chains, recently told customers that it plans to pull Lay’s, Doritos, Lipton Ice Tea and other PepsiCo products in protest of increased prices from those companies.
So we asked:
Will we see this trend make it to the U.S.?
And you answered:
-
Not gonna see it here (67%)
- Yes, it's coming (29%)
- Other, tell us in the comments (4%)

Personally, I think it's great to see a major grocery chain standing up to large brands to protect shopper wallets. Double-sided
coin though...is it fair to other shoppers who are willing to pay higher prices, but forced into fewer selections?
Interesting trade-off to say the least!

Walmart
has been doing this for years, telling their manufacturers how much they will pay for an item, how to package it. This is no different than what they are doing.
