Orrr maybe money's tight so people are buying less food?

No no it must be the latest weight loss fad. They’ve only raised prices to keep up with inflation which means their customers also have more money since their wages must have also got inflated. You can’t let them just keep extra money when they could be giving it to you for basic necessities.

Pretty sure poor people who shop waltonmarts can’t afford healthcare so look somewhere else.

Ah yes, the $900 a month Ozempic that helps people lose weight is definitely helping people who shop at Walmart save money on groceries...
