Walmart's latest move confirms the death of the American middle class

Death of the middle class seems a bit drastic. Kind of clickbaity. More like walmart fails to keep middle class demographic.<p>I feel like Amazon is a big part of this. Amazon isn&#x27;t always the absolute cheapest, but it is super convenient and easy. If you don&#x27;t have to pinch every penny you might just do most shopping on Amazon and save the hassle of going to the store.<p>Target as well has always been the middle class version of walmart imo. Better kept stores and slightly higher prices(at least in my area).

Getting more upper-middle class shoppers... Well, not having crap produce and meat in your &quot;super&quot; walmarts would be a great start... Despite all the marketing efforts I don&#x27;t buy anything that is &quot;fresh&quot; at walmart, because every time I do or look, I&#x27;m disappointed. Their buyers (I mean Walmart&#x27;s buyers, not their customers) must really just be at the bottom of the barrel.<p>The last time I bought meat at walmart, a sirloin roast, looked great in the package, wasn&#x27;t even what I was looking for, but got it... after I got it home and out of the package, turn it over, and it&#x27;s nearly 1&#x2F;3 silverskin and fat. That wasn&#x27;t even the first time.. never again. Same goes for produce in general.<p>Ahh, but we&#x27;re talking about fashion, clothes and more... well, as long as you&#x27;re targeting broad markets, you&#x27;ll have issues there too. Walmart is the effect of a race to the bottom.. squeezing out every margin other than their own... same goes for Amazon of course lately.<p>I&#x27;m not saying it should be legislated away, but just loosing myself and others as customers.

sensationalist clickbait with no substance. tldr: walmart wanted to reach higher end customers so it bought higher end online clothing retailers.<p>move along, nothing to see here.

They could just be realizing that with an online store you don&#x27;t have the same inventory limitations, so they&#x27;re experimenting a bit.
