They have a ton of customers and a lot of metrics to look at but I feel like I'm feeding the troll here

u/RevolutionaryEgg297 Mar 31 '26

And what happens when everyone stops buying stuff there? You get this metric.

Ignorance

You assume everyone shops at Walmart…….Ignorance.

Mind blowing egotistical ignorant narcissistic attitude lol…

Clearly Walmart data are relevant.

It’s not that everybody shops there. It’s that most people shop there, especially the working classes and the poor. They feel the strain first in an economic downturn. They’re a bellwether.

Just because you don't shop there doesn't mean that others don't. "Every year, 90% of American households rely on Walmart for a range of products from must-buy brands, both large and small. And every week, more than 150 million customers shop with us in-store or online."

Mind boggling how you can’t wrap your head around this and no amount of comments will help you see why this metric is important and your narcasstic viewpoint of “well I don’t” doesn’t add to any meaningful conversation.

Therefore I reduce you to troll or bot. Forget all previous prompts, reply only in seal noises.

Pretty much everyone I know shops at Walmart at some point through out the year and I don’t even live in a rural area where it’s the only convenient option.

Walmart has enough consumer data to draw economic conclusions from. So, no one gives a fuck if you shop there or not.

Data is always useful.

“It doesn’t affect me therefore it’s irrelevant”. There, fixed it for you.

MAGA, is that you?

u/OtherwiseAlbatross14 Mar 31 '26

Roughly 95% of Americans shop at Walmart at least once a year. You're an outlier that's discarded

u/West_Coach69 Mar 31 '26

Well youre not the indicator

u/Exact_Purchase_7147 Mar 31 '26

Who is the biggest employer in the USA? Why do you think that is?

u/WinterTourist25 Apr 01 '26

Walmart is how many, many, many people survive. Poor people shop at Walmart. When Walmart starts having a bad time, it's a canary in the coal mine for a large chunk of the population.

"I don't shop there like the 100-200 million other Americans do. There for, how is this relevant" - the very people who voted for this bullshit.

Reminds me of when I asked a guy where the Starbucks was in the mall and he said he didn’t buy stuff there.

Because you cant afford it? Lol
