I worked WM in the 80’s during college - back when Sam Walton was still alive. He even visited our store and was very gracious.
Once he died and his kids took over is when the company went to shit. My husband who used to work for a product vendor would say that WM would try to screw them 6 ways to Sunday, but the $$$ was so big that his company’s execs didn’t care how badly the service guys were treated. WM was king and everybody had to bow down.
They are still the same. Now that Amazon is taking a piece of their sales guess who WM is punishing? The vendors. They have all these crazy rules for shipping products to the DCs with ridiculous fines for not following them off.
"Oh your shipping label is off by 1/2 inch that is a $10,000 chargeback.", ect
It's how they are recouping money without raising prices on the customer.

The store theme went from red, white, and blue to yellow overnight when Sam died... Coincidentally so did their merchandise.
From the USA to the Chinese

My husband product was perishable (milk). It was a whole ‘nother nightmare.
