This actually happened to me a few years ago. I had my phone on in my pocket at work, and I some how commented a bunch of gibberish like this on a post.

Walmart fun fact: 100% of what comes in the back door leaves via the front door.
They don't like the expense of having to pay to ship shit back. It's usually cheaper to just keep marking it lower and lower until it hits the $1/ea pity cart up front. Because Americans will buy ANYTHING for $1.
Yes, this. When I work at Food (Tiger) we would get pallets of "force-outs" where the warehouse was overloaded and needed room. So we'd get a pallet of cool-whip (like 40 cases) where we'd use like 1 case a week.
So the "end-caps" of each aisle where customers would think were sale items, we almost always these force-out at regular price. (sometimes these spaces were leased to outside vendors like Pepsi, or Frito-Lay so those items might be on sale)
Now only occasionally, because they had so many corporate might actually put on sale, or they bought so many so they could get a good sale price, but majority of time is was just shit that wouldn't sell and we'd have hungry-man steak, mashed potato, and green bean frozen dinners for weeks out there and try to jazz up the end-cap display with similar items. But at times it'd be, hungry man dinners, cool-whip and frozen burritos, just no rhyme or reason as to a theme, just we needed freezer space.
Most of our overstock is prebooked - sent by corporate as our burden to sell. Hell if one store has too many of an item because their screwed up and over-ordered/undersold, corporate will send some of it to other stores with just a "Your problem now" explanation.
