I don't know why they can't do a better job stocking. If they want to be a supemarket, then act like one.
The shelves aren't stocked probably because they are short staffed, like a lot of places are.
Also, they might not be getting the supply in.

Every register in the self-checkout area at the WM near me has card skimmers.....it has been reported to the "manager" and yet they are still there. Inside job, perhaps? A neighbor has had over $5k drained from her checking account due to this. Has been going on for weeks. Many people on the ;ext door app have reported having their money stolen or credit card fraud via those skimmers. Some WM stores seem to be run smoothly and efficiently. The store closest to our neighborhood isn't one of them. The next closest is too far to be practical.
I buy more fresh produce than anything else....I did the Kroger pickup for a long time when the initial lockdown began and loved it, but I prefer to pick out my own fresh produce. Badly bruised bananas and limp celery is no bueno for me. I guess we may need to start doing it again if things continue to ramp up in our area.

Wal-Mart must be the topic for today.
Second verse, same as the first.

@Duckncover Has anyone notified the police? This seems like a criminal matter that they would be better equipped to investigate?

My experience and observation with WM has been most of the employees don't do anything except stand around, play on their phones, or yuk it up with other employees.I actually had one tell me "this place sucks. I hate it. Have a blessed day." This was after I asked her if there was someone who could retrieve a bottle of Karo from the back of the top shelf. Never did get it. I am surprised WM is out of so many things since they order in such huge quantities. At my store, there seems to be no shortage of workers, just shortage of work being done,

Yes the police have been notified, from what I have been told. Apparently card skimmers are not a priority. Used to be these skimmers were usually just at gas pumps; now they have expanded to WM self checkouts...I would be careful at anyplace you are scanning your card yourself; check the slot before inserting the card.

It's not even just WM or just supermarkets. So many kinds of items seem to disappear occasionally.
I'd like to think things will get much better in a few weeks, but I don't feel at all sure they will.

I prefer to shop in stores. I am not an online shopper. However, the pandemic changed that. We were forced to use online sources. The bulk of our food items came from Target and Walmart which I still use on occasion. I prefer selecting every item especially meat and produce myself in a grocery store. The past two weeks we have begun limiting our trips to stores to just the essentials, but they have had what we needed.

I have 3 Walmarts within a short distance. It is extremely rare to find everything on my list at any of the stores and my list is not very long. Most departments have more empty shelves than full ones.
