And it's Walmarts fault. Has been. Always was. Always will be. This is literally their economic model at play.
FUCK EM.

Walmart saves money by not paying a livable wage, they save money by not paying taxes, they receive money from the taxpayers who paid into snap. No wonder why they keep making profits year after year.
So? What's two billion to Walmart? They shit that kind of money.
It's a notable chunk of their operating profit, and I assure you their shareholders will take note.

It’s interesting how these working class subsidies feed the donor class. Hospitals (even the “non”profits have 7 figure earning CEOs) and places like Walmart (Waltons = $420+ billion) lose money when subsidies like Medicaid and SNAP see cuts. The circle of capitalism.
I'll be quite honest, Walmart's bottom line would be the least of my worries personally
Even regional grocers will feel this too. Any snap loss, is loss where ebt is accepted. So many different markets..
Its funny to me when SNAP is a focal point all the press stops talking about the farmers but obviously somebody is supplying walmart with 2 billion in products.

Walmart sounds like a real freeloader. From low-paid employees with little or no benefits needing public welfare to get by and then catering to those same kinds of people on government assistance for shopping.

Well shit, the dumbasses guzzled down the orange Kool-Aid. Zero sympathy and f-them.
Oh I’m sure we’re all really sad for Walmart. My toilets and papers go out to the Waltons.
Fuck articles like this. Walmart fucks over people all the time. They’re part of the problem. There are people out there who are scrambling to get food. I couldn’t give even the smallest of fucks for Walmart.
Further it isn’t a “loss”, it’s projected revenue that they’re not getting. I’m not losing money if I don’t work, I just simply don’t earn it.
Gods know the Waltons don’t earn their money.

All recipients should go shopping as normal and abandon their carts when they cannot pay.
Gum up the works. Waste their time. Make them expend effort they could be spending on profitable endeavors restocking your shit. The lost revenue retailers experience is nowhere near enough.
Walmart also relies on the government to cover their employees health insurance and food assistance. They might have to start providing health insurance to their employees otherwise we might to start hearing about quiet quitting again.
Doesn't their CEO make more than that in a year? I'm sure they can pitch in during these tough times.
employees on snap
Walmart would love to start paying people script.
