Default Walmart cheating the Government?
I was shopping at the new Walmart near Colony Plaza today. A 16 oz package of Sara Lee bread was $3.18, but a 20 oz package of the exact same bread was $2.48. So, asked the stock guy why they charge more for less bread. He showed me a "W" on the shelf under the 16 oz package, which indicates that it is a WIC (women, infants, and children) Government program product. So they charge more for that product because the Government will pay it. Outrageous.
