Walmart’s customers
are feeling this inflation the most. If Walmart started slashing its margins a bit and lowering its prices across the board, it would be great PR and others might follow suit. They’d grab many new customers who don’t normally shop there, and the sheer volume of new sales might make a significant difference. I think POTUS was called in last week to see what can be done to lower retail prices. I’m sure he’ll figure out something clever if he can find the boardroom.
