  1. it's just the high cost of food πŸ˜… and my local market has the same prices or cheaper πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

  2. With the high cost of Ozwmpic who could afford food in the first place??

  3. Or maybe nobody has money for food, or rent or gas, and so.

  4. High prices is whats going on. We are ALL on a diet in this freaking country!

  5. Why is this news? Yes people trying to lose weight eat less and?

  6. Omg cuatomers are buying g less BC they are broke. Walmart is saying those BC they don't want to lower their prices. How about their stupid Buy 3 for… Don't they think that had anything to do with it. People can't eat.. Yet Walmart had had record profits along with everyone else

  7. I think the significant price hike at Walmart is likely the greater issue here. Walmart prices are no longer worth the aggravation of going to a Walmart. Their prices are the same as Publix here in Florida.

  8. Prepare for people getting healthy πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

  9. This is shocking that he would come on the news and offend me with those curtains .. And admit they are stalking customers

  10. This is the most pathetic thing I’ve ever heard in my life! Just shows they watching you πŸ‘€ and good more waste and less obesity!!!

  11. So they're buying less food eating less ….. where they get their vitamins , minerals from ?

  12. It isnt due to Ozempic. Its due to inflation. People cant afford as much food. Doesnt take a genius to figure that out……

  13. Or maybe people can't afford food

  14. Oh no, we better start a Go Fund Me for those poor people who own Walmart they're going to be hurting

  15. It's to expensive to be big these daya..the $ not there to get the food!!

  17. It’s not because of a weight loss drug πŸ˜‚ it’s because we are broke people dang

  18. The CEO of walmart can say anything he wants. Doesn't mean it's true.

  19. NO WALMART it’s because groceries cost an arm and a leg. I’m not on the shot to tell you I don’t buy as much as what I used to

  20. Bryan says that people who wash their hands have less dirt on their hands.

  21. This could end up like water and electric providers with some kind of fee added on just for the privilege to shop. Utility providers ask us to reduce usage but then their profits go down, so they add in "fixed" charges so we have to pay a large monthly amount regardless of usage. In June I used 5 units of water and the total bill was $38 ($7.60 per unit) but in August I only used 2 units of water and my bill was $26 ($13 per unit).

    Their trick is that they charge about the same each month for the the "price" of a unit but after adding all the fees/taxes/fixed charges it's obvious that conserving doesn't save you that much money, and those who use more don't really pay that much more. My electric provider does the same thing. Check and compare the details of your bills. They are screwing us over and over.

  22. I Saw this weight craze back in the 60s with diet pills …It was amphetamines (speed) which was very popular …People lost a lot of weight and some became addicted…

  23. This is not the same company Sam Walton started! This sounds like excuses!

  24. Nooo! Really? Will wonders never cease?

  25. All I am detecting here is people with an almost ingrained bias against Walmart, if you are testing for data to see if there’s another cause then these responses are skewed. All the do is gloat over the possible failure of a food supplier…

    So far, I do not know if Walmart’s theory is even valid but it is nice to see they tailor their merchandise to customer need.

  26. I have stopped buying a mass amount of things from Walmart because often I find the same things cheaper at grocery stores on sale especially now that I use pick up orders. Now it’s easier to hit up all the sales and less time out and I don’t get sucked into spontaneous purchases especially when shopping hungry with prices these days I’m not surprised if more people are doing like me.πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ I refuse to go in Walmart especially anymore for my groceries after they replaced it with all self checkout but not only that it’s all the tiny ones that make it a massive headache when you have a full cart of groceries like I do weekly.

  27. Dont buy Walmart poison if you want to lose weight

  28. Wait. They are worried that a few proactive individuals are going to ruin their fat rabid pig brand? Talk about hysterical alarmism.

  29. Lol, Walmart needs more FAT people to buy JUNK foods.

  30. I’m sure doctors will make a ton of money from people suffering from liver damage…

  31. GOOD who buys food at chinamart? YUK GMO crap. They don't sell organics, and if they did I would trust them to not be from China, fake. GROSS

  33. You mean if Wal-Mart customers stop STUFFING their faces with processed food, sugary soda, Cheetos, chips, and crap they’ll LOSE WEIGHT?!? You don’t say?!? πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ
