I buy a lot of gauze, and while it's weird to have it on the end cap, the quantity isn't that weird. There's typically a good amount of shelf space for gauze, and when people buy it they often buy in quantity. It goes FAST if you're treating a wound.
People just buy weird crap, especially when triggered, and Walmart knows it. Multiple people probably walked past that endcap and said..."damn, I haven't bought gauze in a while." Coulda been toothpicks, Q-tips, shoe horns, whatever.
Just after the empty-toilet-paper-shelves incident of 2020, I noticed odd items were COMPLETELY missing from the shelves. There were absolutely no corn or flour tortillas within a 15 mile radius of my house for about 2 weeks, and the ONLY flavor Axe body wash I could get my husband was Dark Temptation. He wasn't amused, but you get my point. LOL!
They test on animals and generslly are cancerous ghouls, you should switch to something for good American people and not consumption score avatars for the corporation
It's just a first aid category. Lazy and poorly organized middle management and imperfect AI projected x00% increase in medical and first aid sales and now they're sitting around.
I fill out and touch up the family first aid for the house and car every Christmas it's not that weird. I'd buy a bunch if i saw it on a good sale there prominently
Thanks for all the replies. I don’t normally go to walfart but I was on a thanksgiving wild goose chase. I appreciate the input! I’m always looking for trends. I notice paper goods are low right now. This just seemed odd. Usually, they put things there that make sense. Like, cold and flu products during those seasons. Or sunscreen etc start of summer. But here is gauze... giant boxes of xl size gauze. No context for it. I’ve never bought gauze outside of a first aid kit. I know some people need to for wound care though.
There's so many empty spaces in the store, that they'll put whatever is on hand out.
Probably this.

P.s. I DO like OP's thinking though. Eyes open.
