Paid a $1200 duty on $2200 dollars worth of equipment last month. This was a job that benefitted American workers and business. But $1200 was ripped from the company.

Roll back prices?! In this economy??

In Michigan if there's a discrepancy between displayed price and scanned price, the store has to refund the difference plus 10x the difference up to $5. In this case OP would have gotten $6 + tax on the original $1 back.

1 dollar doesnt sound bad till you realize its 25-35% markup, and much higher for others. He will pay in blood for my legos going up in price

Was at Walmart a few days ago with my fiance walking through the clothes and we actually notice this - allllll the price tags were removed, and any we could find were lower than the price marked above.

I was at World Market last week and they had sharpied over the price tag on the bottom of items. But I could read it and the signage on the shelf was $5-10 higher depending on the item.

Don't make it weird, dude.

That just price gouging, cos if theyre already on the shelves it meants its already cleared customs, before the tariffs went into effect
Chopayleuh
So it’s not corporate greed anymore?
DeathLemons
If the price tag on the item is less that what the shelf says they have to honor the tag price

Pending the state*. This is one of those things often touted as a “fact” but often isn’t. Store policy often reflects this - but it’s not even actually always the law.

All stores really should be required to submit pricing for products to a public record. Price history should be readily accessible and clear.

I have a company that builds custom furniture in Mexico. 122 MX vendors. Upholstery, metal, wood. Prices increase for all sorts reasons; availability, demand, labor strikes, cartels, shipping, govt taxes and inflation. Are you suggesting at a retail level or some document in public records for a clarity pricing history? Do I charge you for the time that is going to take to generate in the price of goods? And tariff bureaucracy? 400 hrs AND the tariffs we haven't passed on to you. It's really bad
realrealluckless
I'm suggesting that if you change a price that you're offering a product to a customer in public, then you should be required to log and document that new price so that it is visible for comparison with past pricing.
If you find such a task difficult or somehow a major timesink, then I can't imagine how poorly your business is being run, and will assume it probably wouldn't be a problem for long.

Remember when Amazon tried showing the monetary increase due to tariffs and Trump got mad?

As a Data Scientist that would be a relatively easy thing to set up. Like we have the hardware/data space, the software the models—-buuut it’s never going to happen

problem is, till they FEEL and REACT like this is what happened, they remain too stupid to grasp how stupid they are or that they were duped

yeah, the propaganda run 24/7 will convince them it was the Dems' fault, as per usual

It's SO FUCKING BASIC but these clowns refuse to let two neurons ever connect to understand it.

want an even basicer one? remember boston tea party? where they SUNK the british tea because they refused to pay the british tariffs?

there is 0% chance the dude actually changes his view on things, he will just push this conversation out of his brain so he doesnt have to admit he was wrong

This is walmart being so sure of their prices that they put the price tag on at the overseas factory to save labour and so it's proof it's not just random corporate price increases.
awholelotofnothin
The manufacturers have to pre-mark prices to save labor costs in China. The items then take 90 days to ship from a Chinese port to the US. There, they may take a couple of weeks to process and ship by train and truck to Walmart. In that time they are in transit, if tariffs hit, Walmart has to adjust prices because the manufacturers have to adjust prices because the price they were manufactured at did not count for a 100+ percent increase in cogs tariffs.
LurkingSarcasm
I mean it's definitely proof they raised prices, whether or not they used tariffs as an excuse to bump it more than just that cost I still have seen ZERO proof.

That's the thing, if they just raised prices as a corporate decision they'd have the official tags increased, if they were products who's price would change that often they'd never have tags made at the manufacturer like that. One or two products could be a random change but across the board shows it's across the board like tariffs.
Of course yeah they'll increase the price more than the tariffs increase it, use it as an excuse for more price gouging.
LurkingSarcasm
What would it look like if all stores were told to up prices to _____ amount and say it's tariffs? This. It would also look like this.
meme2zombie
They would do that more than the 90 days out (the manufacturing cycle length according to another commentor) and the prices would go up like normal rather than by making them manually edit all of their stock labels.
LurkingSarcasm
You really seem to be a Walmart shill or something. So sure the giant corporations are just trying to help the little guy and only increase the amount tariffs raise. Nothing in Walmart history has suggested they give a flying duck and it's stupid cucks like you that let them inflate prices for any excuse like COVID or tariffs. Y'all are stupid and doomed.
