Walmart Gives Employees Extra Savings on Groceries with Expanded Discount
The 10% discount now applies year-round to 95% of grocery items for Walmart's 1.6 million U.S. employees to help offset rising inflation and potential tariff-driven price hikes.
- On Wednesday, Walmart Inc. announced it will offer a 10% grocery discount to its 1.6 million U.S. employees, covering 95% of items.
- Amid rising inflation and tariff concerns, Walmart expanded its grocery discount after criticism that fresh groceries were excluded, following petitions by OrganizeFor and pressures from competitors like Target Corp. and Trader Joe’s.
- According to the internal memo, Walmart Chief People Officer Donna Morris states the discount takes effect immediately and employees qualify after their first 90 days.
- Early reactions show that, as GuruFocus coverage reports, the discount, covering about 10-15% of income, is praised but calls for wage hikes persist.
- Ahead of its August 21 earnings, Walmart’s expansion signals a workforce investment amid economic pressures and retail industry dynamics.
