Walmart has a history making suppliers cut costs to the point that quality has to drop. Often, suppliers will produce inferior goods for Walmart, and mark them the same as the high-quality goods they sell to other retailers.

I've actually wondered how many of Amazon's "counterfeit" items are genuine Walmart-class products commingled with Macy's-class products in Amazon's warehouses.

Any isle I go in has multiple different pricing of similar products.

Offbrand, brand name, up-and-coming brand name, etc... Most have many different features and obvious differences in quality.

In my decade of shopping at walmart, the only thing that sucked were the offbrand crackers and a 5$ battery powered light.

You think Macy’s is getting higher quality goods? Hah, that’s too funny.

Higher class than Walmart... yes. That's the whole point of the comment.
