Cheap quality of products
The one thing I can’t argue about regarding Walmart is our prices. They are impossible to beat and always ahead of the competition. But the things the company sacrifices just to have the cheapest prices are sometimes just not worth it. For instance, the clothes we display at our stores are always the shortest lasting ones, they always rip after a few months of use, which long-term turns out to be more expensive than if you just bought more expensive clothes in the first place.
It’s not just clothes, I believe it’s the same with some electronics and home goods. I’ve noticed customers have managed to find a balance, like buying basics and non-essentials at Walmart, but going for better quality for stuff they use a lot.

Totally agree with you! Walmart's prices are super tempting, but you definitely get what you pay for. The clothes must feel like a good deal at first, but when they have to replace them so quickly, it ends up being a waste of money.
