Emphasis mine.

...prices on items will be exactly the same for every consumer in every store.

Has any reporter for any major media outlet asked Walmart how price increases will actually work? I have a scenario if there's a hurricane. Prices for water go up ~5% in nearby stores mostly used by middle-class people. Meanwhile prices go up 75% for stores with poor customers.

Walmart sucks for everything now. They used to price match so much shit. They won't even price match stuff sold on their own website by their own company any longer, I recently found out. I needed socks for work two weeks ago. Found some on their website, and went to get them. After wading through a walmart, waiting in a Walmart line, I find out they won't price match their own shit.

Instead I'm expected to just buy it online, schedule a curbside pickup/delivery/whatever instead of them honoring their own online pricing. I wouldn't be surprised if other stores do this but this is a first for me.

Hypothetically it would be interesting to get some teardowns of these devices and guides for repurposing them for electronics projects.
