Vendors kiss the ring to sell at WM. I just assumed we all knew that.

Another stupid, lying, fake, dangerous pol in DC that knows she is driving up the costs for everyone.

This count has never told the truth about anything, even her damn heritage, yet progressives keep voting her in.

The FTC now wants to ban the practice of bulk volume discounted pricing.


This will have one result - the same high price at Walmart as at the convenience store. It won’t go the other way around.

Of course big retailers get a better price. There was a story I read years ago about when Sam Walton got started. He got a price for a case of toothpaste. Then he asked what the price was for 12 cases, then for a truck load and finally for a railroad car full.

Best price was the railroad car so he bought that.

Elizabeth Warren is what is wrong with this country. Dumb arse white liberal.

The matter at hand is that the vendors don't even offer the same volume based opportunities to other outlets as they do the power buyers.

All things being equal, a buyer should be able to buy a specific quantity at the same cost as others. If that buyer can't handle buying in those quantities, then so be it. But the offer should be there. However, like I previously stated, those opportunities don't exist in some cases.

And yet here we are. Don't forget, Trump was just convicted of nothing. Don't act like courts aren't politicized.

When I work with vendors across the country, the more I purchase from that vendor, the lower my pricing is. How is this any different?

I dislike Wal-Mart as much as most people with some of their shady business tactics, etc. but if Wal-Mart is selling more Pepsi products then Target then Wal-Mart should get better price points then target. This is how business works.

This is what happens when a bunch of liberal arts majors run a government department that should be run by a MBA and economist.


I am still on my mission to get people to understand what liberal arts and a liberal arts education is. Economics is a liberal art and is often studied in a liberal arts education it falls under the social science umbrella. Many people here conflate liberal arts with the humanities. Humanities are part of the liberal arts but so is math and science.
