I don't shop there because I take pride in the things I own and prefer quality. They sell specially cheapened versions of popular brands (e.g. Tide) and their store is filled with low-quality products.
It's sad because Walmart Labs has been one of the few groups from a big company putting money behind Clojure/script, which I would like to see succeed.
- leetrout 5y agoI’ve never heard about cheapened brand products like Tide. Do you have more information?
- user3939382 5y agoHere’s an article that touches on it: https://reclaimdemocracy.org/walmart-product-quality-durability-longevity/ https://reclaimdemocracy.org/walmart-product-quality-durabil... Basically, Walmart is responsible for so much of some products’ sales, they dictate the price to the manufacturer. Manufacturers respond by producing special versions of products to meet their price demands. Product quality is sort of a hobby/passion for me. Most popular brands these days prioritize price wayyy over quality. Even without Walmart, finding well-made products is difficult, inside a Walmart, I don’t even bother looking anymore.
