There were a lot of sections of Walmart that they didn't film in. Automotive, hardware, electronics, arts & crafts, school & office supplies, shoes, baby clothes & strollers, pet foods & accessories, alcohol, any of the sporting goods except for the firearms--camping gear, fishing tackle, golf gear, etc.--all that never showed up in the video. Walmart is one of those places where you can go and buy a gallon of paint, a ladder, a trashcan, chlorine for your swimming pool, a spare tire for your car, groceries, printer paper, a 50" TV, candy, a bicycle, a bottle of wine, a hammer, clothes, fresh veggies, new speakers for your car stereo, hedge clippers, baby food, and a book--all without leaving the building.

Ghirardell is American, created San Francisco in the 1900s. Currently own by Lindt. It’s less commonly known and of course a bit more expensive but really good. American makes tons of chocolate but most are not as available or as affordable as Hershey’s. Don’t measure all of our chocolate based on Hershey’s.

[@larissaziemba9162]

Fact: Even though they are now owned by Lindt the Ghirardelli brand consistently gets rated higher in quality, taste and purity. Lindt (and Hersheys’ for that matter) dark chocolate has lots of heavy metals including lead in it. This comes from contaminated soil. Ghirardelli (and the Dove brand) is even more pure than most “organic” chocolate brands. 😮

Many Americans purchase weapons at Gun Shops, Military Surplus Stores, Second Hand Stores, Gun Shows or from an friend or associate. There are federal regulations that gun retailers must comply such as background check upon the gun buyer and this lengthy process takes time before a person can take possession of the firearm. In other words, you cannot just pick out a firearm (excluding BB guns and rifles) at the store counter and take it home that same day. Used to be you could but not anymore. Phil the German guy definitely couldn't buy a firearm. FYI: Suave is not a Walmart brand just like Frito Lay brand is not a Walmart brand, this American girl isn't the sharpest crayon in the box.🤔

Now they are junk food, not health food, but they are mostly air, so a whole pound of cheese balls would be enough to last you weeks, if you only snack on them. And I don't think energy drinks are good for you, but I've seen Europeans go off on stuff like that and how they don't allow certain levels of caffeine, etc. But they allow people to buy alcohol, cigarettes, etc. I don't understand why they think it's fine for government to dictate what people are allowed to eat or drink in some cases, yet think it's fine to allow other things that are bad for you.

If she did NOT have a weapon, she could've been raped or killed. So..laugh away. 3- Related to "2" again, it seems Europeans don't get how weapons are sold/bought.

the strange prices are based on several factors at walmart. first there is the manufacture suggested price (which can be anything. the manufacture sets it based on the cost to manufacture and adds a percentage of profit for the store that will sell it), then walmart decides if they want to raise it slightly, sometimes the product is on sale, which changes the price again and then there are 'clearance' products (which are products that won't be sold again, so they are getting rid of their stock) which is set at a different price. and these are just a few factors that go into setting a price.

Food in the US is typically marked in both imperial and metric units (I think by law in the 80s). We generally stock 2 liter bottles of soda - but beware, they are sometimes expensive depending on the brand. Although he was surprised at the chicken bag, it is a ten piece bag. If you have a family, you can get a bag and just cook however many pieces you need. Same with hamburger patties and certain other foods. It's worth noting that imperial/metric is kind of irrelevant in a grocery store. If you are following a recipe, it might call for a can of this or that. I'd challenge anybody to know what the exact amount was in a given can of soup. It's not a whole number in either imperial or metric. Milk is sold in half-gallon and gallon, but when you use it for cereal you don't measure it out. Even if you follow a recipe calling for a measured amount, you still tend to buy milk when the container gets low - not when you fall below a measured amount. Potatoes are sold by the pound (5 pounds, ten, twenty), but again you're really buying for use - you don't cook a meal with a recipe calling for 2.5 pounds of potatoes - or any other fruit/veg. You get what a recipe says is the minimum and work from there.

So they make more money by making more variations and flavors of everything.

To those visiting the US who really are troubled by figuring out what the sales tax is on a per item basis and in their current specific location there are a bounty of apps for Android and iOS that will let you scan the item barcode and then read your location and tell you either to check or as added to your virtual cart so you know the total. There are also an immense number of unit converters for both platforms that allow for easy and quick conversions if imperial units aren't something with with you're familiar. Each of those annoyances (to visitors) have already been addressed really thoroughly already.

[@jamiemoss3633]

Sales tax is not applied to individual items. Sales tax is applied to the total of taxable items in a transaction at the point of sale. Sales tax % x total amount of taxable items= sales tax.

[@nochannel1q2321]

@@jamiemoss3633 Except that the tax rate can also vary by item or item category, if at all. Hence why if it's confusing, having one of the many apps that'll tell you if it has sales tax and if so, how much, is an easy fix.

[@jamiemoss3633]

@@nochannel1q2321 your item variances are most likely tobacco and alcohol. Most states don't tax food. Several states have zero sales taxes. The sales tax information for all states are publicly available information that can be googled. Europeans are always telling Americans in similar videos they should research a place before they visit...

[@nochannel1q2321]

@@jamiemoss3633Not really, no. While there is often sales tax on alcohol and tobacco sales they are also generally taxed additionally on their own. "Most" means some do. Thus if the person is visiting, they're unlikely to know if the state does or not, if the county does or not, if the municipality does or not, and if so, at what rate. Sales tax rates are available, but having an app to check it and do the work for you is easier. It's weird that you're so against some app creators turning stated tax rates, applying them to products as published and then using this data, a location reading and a scan to give them the answer more conveniently.

[@jamiemoss3633]

@@nochannel1q2321 figuring out sales tax is a basic math skill. It's not bad if people can learn how to figure out the sales taxes themselves lol. They're just used to their 20% VAT taxes being rolled into the their purchases. Lol most apps don't work without cell service or an internet connection what are they going to do if they're in a dead zone? What state specifically has general merchandise that varies by item?

We have like 12 or 13 Walmarts in the county in which I live. I can go ten minutes in 2 different directions and hit 2 different Walmarts. The county has somewhere between 600k and 700k people but I still think we don't need that many Walmarts. Then again we have over 30 McDonald's. That's America. BTW we are starting to see some stores back away from the self check-outs. There is a big backlash in America over them. A lot of people don't like them because they take jobs away from other people. Some businesses don't like them because they have technical issues as well as people not being so honest and shoplifting. Then of course there are a lot of people who just don't like doing it period.

Hello, Brits. I'm a 76 year old native Texan, so, I'm probably a little biased. All the negative things you're told about Texas are probably true. BUT, there are at least five times as many positive things. Texas , even with its few faults, is a wonderful place. Please make Texas your primary destination. You'll be welcomed here! You won't be disappointed. (If you have the opportunity to attend a Texas A&M football game at Kyle Field, College Station, TX.,do so. The atmosphere is unsurpassed.)

They change the price to match the store and region. So prices vary from place to place. But using shopping apps you can get really good deals.
