LOL, I thought the same thing.
Walmart keeps the #2 cone filters with the coffee pots over in Housewares, unlike every other size known to mankind, which are with the coffee as they should be.
I must agree..I tried shopping there for a few weeks for weekly groceries..but they never had what I needed. They had normal stuff...but not many speciality foods or things that I needed that I didnt think were very unusual. (Roasted Red Peppers in a jar come to mind, for one.) They have great prices, but it's not worth going shopping twice for things they don't have to save some $$.
And they'll also dump an item in a heartbeat. I'll find something for a while, and a few weeks later it'll be gone, the shelf space given to another brand and/or item. Nickel-and-diming suppliers is fine if price point is your only concern, but it's not mine when it comes to groceries. That's why I hope the other grocery stores can find ways to compete. There's a market there, I think, if they can cater to it.
If that was the case why wouldn't they keep the #4s near the coffee pots too? Why just the #2s?
